Hi Dave,


 DD> If you've never had mango I scream and you get a chance to try it - by
 DD> all means give it a whirl.

 RH> We've had it a number of times. Didn't get it this time as we were
 RH> doing take out, not eating in.

 DD> Fair enuff. I keep hop[ing to see it in my stupormarkups. I'd buy it
 DD> before Moose Tracks or Washington Cherry (two of my usuals).

I made the mistake of getting a Moose Tracks cone once, and then the
young man scooping and his manager (!!) both denied there was peanut
butter in it. Steve tasted it, agreed with me and they finally conceeded
that yes, there is peanut butter and that they need to post a sign to
warn peanut sensitive people. They also comped that cone--which Steve
finished and I got another flavor. My usual is some sort of chocolate so
at our usual place in town I'll split a small scoop with chocolate on
the bottom, something else on top. Last time it was chocolate raspberry
on top--yummy. This place makes their own ice cream, no artificial
colors or flavors.

 DD> This (or maybe it was goat) was on the buffet one time. Good stuff.

 DD>       Title: Lamb Biryani
 DD>  Categories: Lamb/mutton, Vegetables, Chilies, Dairy, Herbs
 DD>       Yield: 8 servings

 RH> Looks good except for the amount of cilantro in it. I know, needed for
 RH> the flavor, but..........

 DD> Here's one w/o soapweed. And using economical chicken.

 DD> MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

 DD>       Title: Student's Chicken Biryani Pilau
 DD>  Categories: Poultry, Rice, Curry, Vegetables
 DD>       Yield: 6 Servings

 RH> It does look good--and easy. I've done a simple beef curry from time to
 RH> time but never really gotten into cooking other Indian foods.

 DD> It is easy. Like you, I'm more into other cuisines than Indian.
 DD> Southeast Asian or Chinese are my favourite non-European or USA
 DD> specialties. I do make side trips into Korean and Japanese ....
 DD> sometimes.

I think my most common "make" other than American is Italian, followed
by sorta Mexican and mock Chinese. About once a year, when the weather
starts cooling off, I'll pull out all the stops and do sauerbraten with
red cabbage and (usually) noodles. Eating out, OTOH, we'll range all
over the planet.

 DD> Here's one I have made a few times. You may want to cut back on the
 DD> phak chi since it is cilantro. I approached it with caution as I
 know DD> how it is easy to overload w/soapweed. I find that it blends
 right in DD> with the other flavours. For the prik phom I use either
 bird's eye or DD> rat dropping chilies.


 DD>       Title: Pork w/Kratiem & Prik Thai
 DD>  Categories: Oriental, Pork, Rice, Chilies
 DD>       Yield: 4 Servings

Something to think about...........
