True -- and the curries from the Pacific zone (for lack of a brain to thikn of a better word) are quite yummy as well.

And about substitutions for rice, yes, indeed, but I'm personally not thrilled with chips (fries) instead, which I have seen in a few pubs here and there. Dipping my chips into curry sauce, yes. Eating my curry on top of chips, no. I know, I'm picky. :)

There are some lovely Nepalese curries that can be stuffed into rotis or naans. Yum. (I'm the crazy American who started feeling homesick for Boulder when I first ate at a fantastic Nepalese restaurant in Winchester, Hampshire, near where I used to work. Boulder has a decent sized Nepali population :)
