[kj] OT: Miss the curries

[Christof hamille]

I can certainly vouch for Greg in MI.  In the sense of once you get away 
from booming suburban cities that are jammed with mega and strip malls and 
major cities (Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing, etc.) ethnic food, with the 
exception of Italian (pizza and spaghetti) and Chinese, is almost 
non-existant.  What is big in MI that I have noticed that is not as 
prominent in other states is middle eastern food.
