Yes, I will research this online. Long story short, my new guy made the
mistake of going to Inchin Bamboo for dinner last night. It's a chain place.
Indian/Asian fusion type food, based out of TX I think. There wasn't much
open when he got there. Restaurants are either closed for good or closed
early due to Covid, and add in the holiday. He wanted a long time to try to
place an order, but they closed before he could order. They apologized, but
gave him some food for free. We couldn't tell what it was. Some kind of
chicken and noodles and way too much white rice. He had intended to eat it
in the car and then go home.

Instead, he called and asked if he could come over and heat it in my
microwave as it was cold when they gave it to him. I had made turkey and
stuffing, but I thought that wouldn't appeal to him given that he is from
Tanzania. I am not familiar with their cuisine. He does cook. He even has a
rice pot that he loves. Said he made chicken soup in it. The soup had
potatoes, carrots, other vegetables and was seasoned with and ginger and
cilantro. So I know those two things.

But... Whatever this crap was that they gave him, couldn't be helped even
with the tiny container of red sauce that they gave him. So he began looking
in my kitchen for something with heat to it. All I could think of was
Mexican type salsas and such or red pepper flakes. I did have Sirracha. But
it's gone now. So... What sort of things should I buy if a similar situation
arises? As in prepared sauces or spices? Oh and, although he didn't eat much
of the food, it gave him stomach pains.

And... I you eat this kind of food, what are some dishes I could make that
don't involve perishable items that I might not have. I will research it but
want a dish or two that I can make on the fly if I need to. He mentioned
something with coconut and bananas and also Chapatti (sp?) or Roti that his
aunt makes. He said he was eating that daily but it raised his cholesterol
so had to give it up. He now tries to eat a lower fat diet. I can make
really good pita bread so he might like that.

Thanks!
