Curry
This is what WP says about Curry:
Curry (from Tamil kari) is the English description of any of a general variety of pungent dishes, best-known in Indian, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Indonesian, Malaysian, Pakistani, Thai, and other South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines, though curry has been adopted into all of the mainstream cuisines of the Asia-Pacific region. Along with tea, curry is one of the few dishes or drinks that is truly "Pan-Asian", but specifically, its roots come from India. The concept of curry was later brought to the West by British colonialists in India from the 18th century. Dishes that are often classified as curries in Europe and America are rarely called curries in the native language.
And I think the general percept is that it is an Indian dish rather than a Chinese. I really think it should be moved from here to a new catalog of Indian cuisine, which I will now create. Hayford Peirce 11:26, 3 August 2007 (CDT)
