And any kind of vindaloo (or vendaloo or vindalu or vendalu, depending on which menu you're looking at). |

We have these in Malaysia too. My mother constantly sends me the instant ingredients.
And I've tried palak paneer once, at an Indian restaurant in Japan, but I think I like Masala better. |

I love Masala... with plenty of grilled naan bread to soak up the sauce.

Good naan in itself makes a fine meal! Unfortunately, we're limited to Mexican, fast food, and Mexican fast food locally. However, there are a couple of exemplar sources for daily fresh tortillas, so when in Rome...
I've tried making naan several times, but while mine is okay, it just doesn't have quite the right flavor. Pizza stones just don't give it the full flavor that a tandoor does...
I actually did some research and bought some books on constructing earth ovens, thinking if I ever get settled down into a place of my own, I'll build my own tandoor, horno, brick oven, and other various earth ovens.
I did throw me several tagines, though, and those worked well. A surprising number of local people here knew about them, or were willing to try. I think I sold about a half dozen, with requests for more, which I never got around to making.
Maybe I should try making small naan in my tagines....

are you in the southwestern US by any chance? If so, have you ever put chilies on a cheeseburger? I hear the practice is big in that region, especially in New Mexico. Darn it, I have got to stay away from this topic... totally salivating, and I'm hours from breakfast. hehe

This sounds like rural northern Michigan in the 1980s. Some woman told me her son liked "Chinese food and all that way-out stuff." I had to laugh, because in the big city Chinese food is not considered exotic. :D
I also think of the couple with a Texas drawl who approached me amidst the skyscrapers of downtown Detroit, surrounded by kiosks selling Greek food, Russian food, all kinds of food, and they asked me if there was a taco stand nearby. Oops! Wrooooooong state! |

| Talking about Mexican food, I remember a while back some American websites called for a ban on Spanish products due to Spain's stance on Afghanistan, etc. Thing is, quite a few of those sites listed tacos and burritos as products to ban. Odd, right? |

It's very odd that we in the United States didn't ever know about anyone calling for a ban on Spanish products. You find the darnedest things, Molly. |

Just as odd as someone thinking that Chinese food is exotic, right? And "we in the United States" includes...? |

I hadn't heard of the "boycott Spanish products" movement either.
On the other hand, there was a push for French fries to be re-named "Freedom fries" several years back.
