I could go for some good Indian food right now. Some naan and chciken tika smothered in a spicy onion sauce. (drools on keyboard)

My favourite Ethnic food is Indian. When we owned our "Old English Pub" we specialised in Indian food, which sold very well. I did all the cooking, with some help from our local Tandoori Restaurant owner, who became a good friend. As for onion Baji's (Bhajiyas) being made with curry powder! The use of curry powder in a good Indian restaurant would be frowned upon.

Do you like to cook for yourself Greg, if so I can post some Indian recipe's for you to try? I don't know, but you might have trouble finding the spices over there, no problem in England owing to the very large Ethnic population there are plenty of Indian grocery stores.

My mom usually does the cooking but sometimes I'll cook something up. My parents like Indian food too so if you have a recipe, please share...

Hi Greg, I'll send you a p.m tomorrow with a basic but very tasty Chicken curry recipe just to get you started, I will also give you a list of spices for traditional Indian cooking and how to use them to create different flavoures for different types of curry, take note Greg curry powder will not be on the list.

Sounds tasty, Henrywarnell. I sampled some chick-pea curry on my last visit to London. (eons ago, I must admit)
For an altogether different curry dish, try Thai curry. Whether chicken, beef, or pork, this savoury 'stew' goes well over a bed of rice. No curry powder here, either. Your base is a thick red curry paste.
I surely do miss not having any Thai food here in New Braunfels, where the only ethnic foods are Mexican and German. That was one nice thing about living in the Los Angeles area. It is the 'melting pot' of the West Coast, where any and all types of ethnic food may be explored and enjoyed. (I'll probably have to travel all the way to San Antonio, or Austin for more culinary diversity.)
How about it, Ted? How's the availability of ethnic food in the Austin area?

Back in California, we had this Meditarranean restaurant, just around the corner. Here in New Braunfels... How's the variety in Joisey, Greg?

Ned, my wife likes to cook Thai food, I think she told you on the welcome section of this forum, she calls herself Kate and she likes shooting as well, she is Annie Oakley on Wades forum. We will be over for two weeks next Feb- March staying at the Red Roof Inn on East Houston, If our paths cross we can talk Alamo and food , it would be nice to meet you and perhaps I could buy a signed copy of your book.

Theres only one Greek restaurant around and it has amazing garlic hummus and pita bread. the hummus isnt too strong and you can actually taste the extra-virgin olive oil in the pita. i would make a meal just out of that but the Pastichio (sp?) is to die for.

Sounds like a plan, Hank. Anyone who like chilis and curry is all right in my book. I have stayed at the Red Roof Inn on Houston several times and it's a decent hotel within walking distance of the Alamo. They also have a fairly nice Continental breakfast there. As Patrick McGoowan once said in THE PRISONER, "Be seeing you."

I also enjoy having a nice bowl of Pho---Vietnamese noodle soup. It's a savoury, satisfying meal that does not weigh you down.

What exactly is Pho, other then the noodles?

Noodles, your choice of meat, the tangy citrus-flavored broth made with lemon grass and then, the toppers: Bean sprouts, diced chilis, whole red and green chilis, minced cabbage, sweet basil, squeeze of lime, chili fish sauce, soy sauce, garlic chili sauce and oyster sauce.
Of course, you don't have to add all these ingredients; simply flavor to taste. That way, everyone's bowl has it's own unique flavor.
Wow, I shouldn't be getting so descriptive here. Now I want a bowl!

Here in New Braunfels, you can sample Barbecue, Tex-Mex, Mexican, German, a little Greek and one "Asian Buffet". For any diversity one must go to the big towns. (San Antonio, Austin, etc.)

There is a bunch of Chinese restaurants in Kearney and North Platte, Both about 70 miles East and West respectivley. And i imagine in Lincoln and Omaha there are other ethnic restaurants and grocery stores.

Any good German food there? After all, Lawrence Welk grew up in Nebraska, didn't he?
