If I want tasty indian recipes, all I gotta do is ask about 75% of my neighbors
for theirs.

When I'm in my backyard, I can smell the curry from kitchens all around me. When
I'm out there using my smoker, all I can smell is the smoke. While they could
invite me to their house for dinner, I don't think they would be able to eat the
beef or pork I BBQ.

I've often wondered if they have any idea what I'm smoking....

You can have your word "Curry". The fact remains that the spicey
dishes of India predated the British Empire regardless of what they
were called originally. In fact, the word "Curry" is almost
meaningless
in terms of describing anything other then a mish-mash of
ingredients.
Its about as descriptive as the word "automobile" which doesn't even
narrow down a color.

Except with regard to the Curry Tree or Kadipatta or Sweet Neem
leaf.(Murraya koenigii; syn. Bergera koenigii, Chalcas koenigii). ;-)

Of course, but the reference wasn't about the curry tree. It was
specifically related to food only.

We use Curry leaves, as we do Kaffir lime leaves, when cooking. We get them
from the Curry tree at the Sri Lankan Buddhist temple down the block. Food.

The term "curry" did not exist in Asia until the British arrived.

The term 'curry' doesn't exist in Asia, either (except when
described by English-speakers). Each stew-like dish has a more
specific name. The terms 'stir-fry' or 'fried rice' don't exist in
Asia, either. The dishes, however, do.

That was a terrible attempt to dodge your own brain-fart.

Curries were created to suit the English palate.

'Some' curries were created to suit the English palate. The actual
English word does predate the British going to Indian, and describes a
sauce, but what even the Indians today describe as curry is specifically
Indian.

The word comes from "Kari" which is from the Tamil language and was later anglicized into "curry". The "curry" dishes from India, Thailand, Malasia, and others were tempered to suit the British.

So you're saying they aren't British in origin after all.

Make up your mind, willya?

The word partially comes from the word Kari. I wish I could find the
source, but one of my food history books noted that the word curry was
used in English before the Brits went to India, and was applied to a sauce.

And, I note that you have changed your line - quote "and others were
tempered to suit the British."
