I waitressed at an Indian restaurant for a year before going to the UK so I was pretty well versed in Indian food, but the first time I got take-away I was massively confused.

I think even my ohhhh's and ahhhhh's would have run out if I'd been there in person but some of they were spectacular. We do our celebratin' on July 1st but we're only from a very small town of about 3500 residents so our town's fireworks display was only slightly more impressive than the Crackling Cactus... which by the way, looks very dangerous to me.
