I'm so grateful that my parents are so open minded and exposed me to so many different kinds of foods, languages, cultures, and music.I enjoy trying new things and I like most of the things I try. I can't imagine my life without all the different things I enjoy.

Interesting. I used to be absolutely ... I don't know... white bread about food. I didn't like anything foreign. Really. In high school I didn't even eat Mexican food. I would eat Chinese but only lemon chicken. When I got to college I tried more and more things but still pretty traditional: Mexican enchiladas or fajitas. Chinese - stir fry or lemon chicken. Etc. Then I started adding Thai and other Asian.
Then quite a few years ago (maybe 8), my SIL wanted to go try Persian food for her birthday. We had never had Persian food (any of us) but someone had recommended a new restaurant to her. So we went out and order lots of things and tried everything we ordered. And I was just blown away but the variety of tastes and the richness. And it was truly a life-changing experience for me to realize that I could be more adventurous and discover new tastes. I love Persian, Thai, Ethiopean... I like Indian (but not curry). And I try what people suggest (if it's vegetarian).
I still order the same things at the same restaurants frequently but I'm open to trying lots of different foods now.
I don't know the name for them but I feel sorry for them.
curry is basically a sauce-based dish. usually a side-dish to a main meal.
saag paneer and korma are curries.
What do you consider a curry Deb? I consider almost every Indian dish a curry.
There is so much to experience from the unfamiliar. I LOVE trying new things. I too am so grateful to have been raised by an open-minded mother. Some people find comfort in familiarity. I find excitement in that which is different.
