Out of the ordinary
THE problem I have with our Indian restaurants is that, in most cases, I know what I'll be eating before I walk in the door.
Stick to it
IF you ask my kids, all food should be served in one of two ways: either wrapped into a parcel with a pita or tortilla; or impaled on a stick.
