I reheat all sorts of delicious smelly things in the microwave at work, and dare anyone to say anything... I don't complain about the smell of their milk and cheese, or the horrid oily miasma rising from their mass-produced deep-pan pizzas, so they can put up with my pickled vegetables or hot-sour-soup. I don't use my microwave much for cooking at home, but for the things I do use it for, it is pretty indispensable.

And "naan-smoking areas"? Well played! Why don't chapati yourself on the back?

Redball:
Excellent, excellent! And from the puri of heart!

Thrillho:
This is no way to curry favour.

TheEvilDog:
I relish all these food puns.

That said, I mustard heard them all before.

Papersatan:
There is a "没有" pun here some where, but I can't speak enough Chinese to make it.  Akima?

When I tutored my Chinese student/friend in English one of our lessons went over condiments, because she never knew what to order when she got food. I brought in a small sample of everything I could find and a container of french fries and she tried them all and I helped her learn the names.  She had trouble pronouncing "mayonnaise" (which she liked and so would want to know how to ask for) I told her to just say "没有" (Chinese for don't have) instead, because, to my ears anyways, it was the same sound as "mayo" and if I heard it that way, so would most waiters. 
It is one of the few times my very limited Chinese has been useful.
