I get 46 million results for "Filipino restaurants in usa" It seems you have a lot of Filipino food on the mainland. I can dig that.

Well, we tend to call things by their proper name, rather than the
generic, anglicized, "curry".

One of my favorite Indian dishes is sag paneer.

Over here, it's an insult directed at another person. Over there, it's like a personal memo. I once worked with a fresh off the boat haole guy from the mainland. On the first day he said to me "blow me!" Ha ha. I did not know what he meant but I got the feeling it was not something a person would normally say to your co-workers on the first day on the job.

I don't have anything against haoles. My wife is a haole and she's one of the finest human being that I've ever known. OTOH, that haole was just a savage.

I don't get it. Is sag paneer a curry? I doubt it.

They were not interested in invading the US mainland. Their plan was to
take over southeast Asia and set up their own colonial empire. They were
especially interested in fuel and raw materials. The US had already
been after them over their actions in China and Mongolia.

In order to carry out their plans for southeast Asia they needed to
guarantee that the US would not intervene. They planned to knock out the
US Fleet and figured that if they did that quickly the US would have
neither the will nor the ships to get involved. They underestimated the
American will to fight and their ability to clear the harbour and
refloat the sunken ships and prepare for battle.

I had an Indian curry dish for lunch yesterday, Chana Masala. It was
chick peas, onion and tomatoes and served with Mango Chutney and Raita.
It was delicious. It is a curry but not called curry on the menu.

You're right. It is not the sort of thing you would expect a person so
day to a coworker on their first day on the job. Do you always have
that effect on people?

DS1, you are making assumptions that the rest of us have not. You are
assuming you know the color/race/ethnics of the others here. You do
not.

While to an extent, we know in general where some of us live, that
indicates little other than a perception of what foods may be common
there. Lets take Janet UK. I have perceptions of foods that may be
there or may be more common where she is. If posting to her and aware
an item I mention might need describing, I am apt to add a link to
explain it. I do not however assume a skin color. UK is quite mixed
there just like the USA/Canada.

What you see in reaction is probably 50% here are NOT fond of chicken
breast (we feed it to the dogs here) and if you look at the cookery, I
think it's 4 of us regular recipes who are into hot/spicy/curry/cajun
sorts of things. In fact, we are more apt to post them then you are.

We can't stop him. Meantime, my dogs are mad at me. They like the
dark meat too but got the breasts again. They roll their eyes and sigh
and eat it up.

Something tells me DS1's background had a lot to do with canned and
pre-mixes long ago. That wasn't true in my background 50 years ago.

Yeah, I'm with you. Sheldon has been in my bit bucket for some time.
I still get the random complaints from others as if I had some control
or was responsible for what he says.

I'm not sure what that means. Do you mean more depressing or less depressing or something else? That movie was grueling and relentless. I have the book around but I didn't see much point in reading it.

Near as I can figure, insulting people that you don't know is acceptable in your culture. I'm not judging but that kind of sucks.

Really? I know that some of you ain't white. That's hardly the point. I don't care what color you is. That doesn't change the fact that white folks like chicken breast. White folk are absolutely terrified at the idea of discussing race and culture. They probably know more about outer space than what goes down here on planet Earth.

Exactly. Rogan Josh is another one. Very good to make a lamb curry
gravy with brown sauce. Vadouvan is another I keep and really like for
soups when I do a dashi/miso/udon/curry mix.

It's possible ds1 is looking for traditional recipes. I'm pretty sure
I am known for non-traditional but actually, the recipes I make are not
that far off whatever quisine they came from (mostly).

There is a blend of curry from Jamacia (sp?) that is heavy on the
yellow and deep but mild on the heat. I love that one for rice. Can we
say curried Paella?

It's the Hawaiian culture. It could also be some kind of genetic disposition - I don't know. There's no doubt that the lack of fresh meat and refrigeration in the past has something to do with our current love of canned meat/milk in general and canned corned beef and Spam in particular.

Korea is even more crazy about Spam than Hawaii is. They have gift sets involving cans of Spam. One of their most popular dishes is budae chigae. This is a wild stew involving all kinds of things. It is more or less a favorite of North Korea. It probably doesn't exist in South Korea and I've never seen it on this rock.

Yup! WE like it a lot!

One place here we like is Pho 96. It;s along Virginia Beach BLVD and a
great spot for a fast noodle bowl. One of many here.

Vietnamese pho is a hot trend in the US. It's been like that for some years now. I never saw the appeal of those thin noodles but the kids dig it. Indian curry and Filipino food has never been been trendy in the US. 2017 was the year when Filipino food was supposed to explode onto the American scene.. It did not happen. My guess is that it will in the near future. Watch out for that one.

It's uncomfortable to be seen only by the color of your skin, ain't it? Welcome to the party pal!

I'm a keen watcher of trends in the United States. I read everything. That's why I presume to know what's going on in the American culture. Mostly, you're a clueless bird in an isolated gilded cage. You prefer to not to know rather than to know. Everything with you is you've never seen, you've never heard of, or you don't understand. Now you presume to know me? I love it!

I have to say that I as terribly disappointed in Vietnamese food. Over
the last few years there have been lots of Pho restauarants opening up
around here. I was really looking forward to trying them out because I
had had various Asian cuisines that were amazing. When I finally got to
try Vietnamese food it was a major letdown.

It is good, but it should be consumed early in the day. I once had one
after an early dinner. It was very tasty but way too sweet for me. I
usually drink coffee black. I was wide awake until about 4 am.

I've only had it once and was quite disappointed but I would try it again.
What I was served was rubber chicken.

I could go for some right now. I can make my own if I have a can of condensed milk. Last night I went to bed at 3am so that's not too much of a problem - I hope. I'm going to look for that can of milk!

no idea so no problem...

as of yet, i've tried a habanero pepper flavored
sauce once, i can't even tell you what kind it was,
but i found it rather disgusting and never bothered
to try any others.

to me the overwhelming flavor was rotting fruit
and since i don't need super hot sauce to get some
zing there was little reason for me to look further.

if sriracha loses it's zing i stop eating it for
a week and it gets enough back. and like today i
used it mainly for the chili and garlic flavor
than for the zing by putting a few drops in some
ranch dressing.

Really? I know that some of you ain't white. That's hardly the point. I
don't care what color you is. That doesn't change the fact that white folks
like chicken breast. White folk are absolutely terrified at the idea of
discussing race and culture. They probably know more about outer space than
what goes down here on planet Earth.

I like chicken breast, but I like dark meat better.

It's the Hawaiian culture. It could also be some kind of genetic
disposition - I don't know. There's no doubt that the lack of fresh meat and
refrigeration in the past has something to do with our current love of
canned meat/milk in general and canned corned beef and Spam in particular.

I love Spam, always have.

It means that Frank McCourt went into great detail in the book, the movie
didn't depict his childhood as terrible as it was with his own thoughts, but
movies never can.

I just made some iced coffee with condensed milk. Hopefully, the gods of digestions will be kind. I'll be home for the rest of the night - just a few feet from the toilets. Damn it was delicious.

I don't believe the book was depressing, but it's been a while.

I doubt that.

Bull.

We've eaten it there (a Korean friend invited us) and here in Germany
(another Korean friend wanted to give us a treat with this cross-over) -
not big fans, there's much better food there.

In order to answer your question, I'm going to have to ask:
What is the definition of "curry"? Or "How do you personally
judge whether a dish is a curry?"

Of course it was not. "Curry" is the anglicized form of the Tamil
word "kari", which means "sauce". Essentially so vague as to be
meaningless. It'd be like referring to "condiment", without specifying
ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, or Tabasco.
