So, Indian food is once again of interest. There's a large Indian population in NC because of high tech and buying the cheapest labor you can get, of questionable quality or not. There's a chain in the South called Bombay Grill. I'm about to go to one of the outlets for lunch. The food is a bit strange on the buffet (which is $8.95 M-F including fresh hot naan brought to the table. The cilantro soup I swear has catsup in it, the raita has sweetener in it. The food doesn't have the fire I'm used to in Texas, but it's not bad, especially for the South. This place plays Indian techno music most of the time (yuk) but a couple days ago it was playing a bhagan, and I felt a lot more at home. Anything is preferable to Bollywood singing of Kirti, Kirti, Kirty that sounds like it's being shrieked by a cat on a hot tin roof. Better than FF? Gotta be kidding me. I don't know if it's the golden agers or those who don't want to disturb their sattwa, but Indian food in FF is to India as Mexican food in the Midwest is to Texas, Socal or Mexico.
