What's your Thanksgiving menu? - Page 8

Juniper · 11-28-2009, 11:32 AM

I was thinking about checking out the offerings at Trader Joe's before moving on to an actual restaurant. I'm kind of worried about going to an Indian restaurant and not knowing what to order and looking like an idiot.

I would hope I'm not entirely ethnic-food phobic. I do love Chinese.

. . . well, the fake Chinese food they pass off on us silly Americans, anyway.

And mexican. Yum, guacamole. And Italian, what's not to love about that?

Seriously though, living here there's no excuse not to have at least a passing familiarity with authentic ethnic foods. Granted we're pretty white-bread, but we do have Jungle Jim's, where you can get anything from anywhere.

Back to the Indian thing . . . apologizing for the total thread drift . . . I'll be into it next quarter because I'm taking another post-colonial literature class with our Indian professor.

That is an excellent looking ham zip, Dennis would be all over it. Sweet potatoes look especially good too.

Curry is in every major, and many not so major, population centers throughout the United States. There may be at least one curry/Indian restaurant in the Dakotas by now. Can't say authoritatively, haven't been through in a while.

A few years ago, we dropped in for Thanksgiving at an Indian restaurant next town up the road. Tandoori turkey, for Thanksgiving. Tasty and intriguing, good tandoori, but not quite on-target for Thanksgiving dinner, I thought. I quite missed cranberry sauce... Definitely we go snarfing our way through Indian curry buffets of every description, and can tell korma from madras. And a nice lassi, salt or sweet. Chai mix is simply everywhere now, for the people who aren't going out today.

Chai mix should be good in a custard pie. Or sweet potato pie.
