desi food = indian, pakistani and bangali(?) food.Desi food = food from Pakistan?
If so, this just reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Jerry convinces Babu to turn his restaurant into a Pakistani restaurant.

Yeah, like Xuhaib stated desi food generally means food from India, Pakistan, or Bangladesh. Though it is harder to find Bangladeshi food (or perhaps I'm not looking hard enough).desi food = indian, pakistani and bangali(?) food.
Jackson Heights there are plenty of Bangladeshi Restaurants.Yeah, like Xuhaib stated desi food generally means food from India, Pakistan, or Bangladesh. Though it is harder to find Bangladeshi food (or perhaps I'm not looking hard enough).
You are correct that “desi” in a broad term refers to people from the subcontinent. I could be completely off in saying this, and if so I apologize in advance, but I always got the sense that generally people from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh more readily identify with the term “desi” then people from Sri Lanka for example. Also, since the food from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh is easier to find than any other from the subcontinent, I generally identify “desi food” as food from those countries.Have always thought desi just to mean from the subcontinent myself.
Have always thought desi (desh=country) relates to all people from those countries. At least in my experience its used that way, and used even for Sri Lankans.North Indians and Pakistani (Hindi/Urdu Speaking Population) = Desi
Bangladeshis and people from Eastern Part of India (Bangla speaking )= Bengalis
South Indians and Tamil speaking folks from SL = South Indian
I have met a few people from this site, and I would say no. Usually we just make a time and a location, and I will try and give them some description of me (like I will be wearing a blue hat) so they can pick me out, or I can pick them out. If I have some idea what they look like then it helps.Was it awkward when you first met. I've never met someone through the internet myself.
Did SJS have a little sign saying nightprowler10 on the table just to make sure you got the right people.
