(Black pepper, cinnamon, salmon, shrimp, tuna, oranges, walnuts, almonds, celery, hops, malt, soy, hickory(anyway my applewood bbq is better), etc.) It's kind of a crap shoot to go out to eat.

I looked and looked for you and found Dream Dinners. There are a couple in Richmond. I think there's another company doing the same thing around here. I've never tried it but I think you can leave certain things out of your preparation and such if you're trying to avoid cheese or extra fat. http://dreamdinners.com/main.php?static=howitworks there are those places where you go and make a ton of meals to feed your family for a week or more… I looked and looked for you and found Dream Dinners.

Think about the effect of that distribution on the "Indian food" that you have consumed over a lifetime. This is why India k' Raja, Nawab in Newport news and several other establishment all have essentially the same menu with foods that have been meat and cream-ized for the american palate. It's not that they're bad, they just have no relation to any regional cuisine from India.
