Hmmm, do you think that perhaps the food was the first export and Bollywood came afterwards. I am not certain since by past lives are a little hazy (kidding) but it seems a that Indian food had a first wave that hit the shores of some Asian countries. Certainly, there is a second wave now in Western countries…
yummm….i know what i’m going to watch tonight… have you ever had that indian party mix kind of snack, it is spicy and crunchy?…very addictive…think it is called namkeen…
Ann, I am sure I had that snack before without knowing the name. One of the best things about traveling is eating the local food, isn’t it?
Chaun, there’s a sudden surge of Indian eateries in San Francisco in the last few years. I think, although I may be wrong, that after the dot.com bubble bust, a lot of Indian technologists went into the food business.
i came back and watched the series last night…another great installment….I really need to get to India…and, believe it or not, there is even quite a few Indian eateries here in Memphis….hmmm….maybe i need to go to one for lunch today….

You are absolutely right. I was thinking of the second waves that hit Western countries; more of hole-in-a-wall, Indian fast food kinda thing.

getting to India is probably great for photography… I hear that just about every visitor gets sick.

Guess who went to eat Indian food for lunch today??
And, yes, I think you have to be a bit more careful in India…I would expect if I go to get sick for a bit…
