Here's a pictur, is it a regular air conditioner? There's a fan outside the house piping out hot air, so I assume that's connected to the pipes?

That unit is not bringing any air into the house. It is only cooling and cycling air within the house.

As to your other question, it's possible, I don't know everything that's ever been on the market. But it's really unlikely. But as @tjs282 says, that would be a lot less efficient than just cooling the interior air. So it wouldn't be a normal way to build one.

I got some Indian take away yesterday, and was given this really tasty sauce I'm trying to figure out what it was.
It is relatively fluid purple-brown sauce, roughly the consistency of fine (and real!) maple syrup, that was slightly sweet and reminded me of plums. Any idea what it could be?

Some variety of watered-down chutney, most likely.

Doesn't the restaurant have a menu?

It does, but I got the sauce with chicken samosas and it doesn't say what type of sauce comes with the samosas.

Look for Shan plum chutney.

Given that India is very much its own cultural sphere I also suggest that you try and find what part of India their cooking's from, because ‘<plant name>-chutney/curry’ can change a lot.

I'm guessing vaguely northern India because a) that is where most 'Indian' restaurants draw from and b) several of the dishes refer to being prepared in Peshawari / Kabuli style which suggests northern India.
Though they are also serving Goan dishes, so clearly they aren't been sticklers for what regional cuisine they are serving.

Does India have beef ( ) with itself over what constitutes a real dish like US hawaiian/chicago/new york pizza?

The proper answer to the above is that if you put pineapple on it it is a sin against pizza.

Better check, then. I already have enough trouble with ye various flasks of curry which I have been able to get.

Do they have any sauces based on prunes or dates?

Just a wild guess.

I have a friend from Southern India, who definitely confirms this .
According to him most Indian restaurants in Denmark (he just came back from there) are also run by Pakistanis, because food-wise it makes nearly no difference.

what about ketchup?

Are chocolate mints primarily defined as chocolates, or as mints?

what about ketchup?

 

[W|M]

pizza with ketchup is common in some parts of brazil, especially rio de janeiro

Hawaiian pizza is very good, the sweetness of the pineapple matches nicely with the savory nature of the cheese and sauce.
Indeed, it is actually a very traditional sort of flavor combination, going back to the Middle Ages where most dishes were a combination of sweet and savory.

Reject Modernity

Embrace Tradition

Has the pizza chain Domino's begun to backslide into terribleness or is it just my local shop? The crust in particular went from a fluffy, season-encrusted delight to this limp, barely there thing with almost no seasoning. And the other ingredients seemed to have gotten cheaper as well and I feel like they're pulling a Papa John's or Subway's. But it may only be my local shop that is being cheap and not the national brand as a whole.

(@Timsup2nothin yes I know you think Domino's is trash but last I checked you haven't tried them since their pizza re-branding in the 00's so spare me the snide comments )

They might be temporarily skimping due to a sales slump. Dairy Queen's quality has plummeted here and it started about a month and a half into COVID-19.
