After looking at modom's picture of dinner and reading his post, I realized
that I truly have no idea what "a curry" is.

I know you can get curry powders, in different degrees of hotness or
spiciness.

But is curry the entire dish? (i.e., curried chicken). Is it the sauce?
(Because his opening statement of "that's a curry with chicken chunks" is
what led to these questions.)

For some reason, until I started lurking here, I always thought curry was a
way of preparing rice - I have no idea where I got that idea.

I also realized that, except for the okra, I think I would have enjoyed that
meal, modom!

But what is "a curry"?

And if it's simply "food cooked with curry seasonings", please just laugh
hysterically at me and carry on.
