Had Thai food (takeout) tonight; I just love curry.
And for some reason, I like green curry better than the others (red, yellow, brown…). Why?
No clue. I think the difference between the curries is the blend of spices that make up the curry (curry is not a spice; it’s a blend of spices – much like “pasta” doesn’t mean much specific). But I could be totally wrong. Whatever.
The weird part – to me – is that curry is a kind of weird food for an American. Fairly common today, more so because more Indians and others from curry-friendly nations have come here as part of the dot.com boom/bust/Web 2.0, but not your traditional American steak and potatoes. Over a decade ago, it’d have been tough to find a restaurant serving curry in most towns in the US. Or – I’d guess.
And I was a picky eater as a kid.
How the hell did I develop a taste for curry?
I – oddly – am very adventurous with food. I’ll try most anything, and like a lot of the weird (ostrich, alligator, buffalo, jack fruit and so on).
And I have leftovers for breakfast. Excellent!
