Just for the record, "curry favor" came into usage long before the
Indian-food meaning of "curry" came into the English vernacular.

The expression "curry favor" comes from the Middle English phrase "currayen
favel," which means "brush a chestnut horse with a currycomb."

(I haven't been following this thread, so I apologize if someone else
already mentioned that.)
