Hi Dave,

 RH> We still have a good variety in WF but Raleigh has an abundance of each
 RH> type. Morrisville, a bit west of Raleigh, has a big Asian (especially
 RH> Indian) population so it has a lot of Indian restaurants.

 DD> We have a selection of Indian-ish places. Th best of these is a place
 DD> called "Flavour of India" located in a little out-of-the-way strip

Those are the best places. The Indian place Steve and I liked in Raleigh
was on a strip mall adjacent to the main road but the restaurant was
well set back from most of the stores. There was a really good bbq place
in that plaza also but it was family run and the family needed to
concentrate efforts otherwise so closed the restaurant.


 DD> mall. When my friends and I visited there the first time we were the
 DD> only
 DD> non-Asians in the place. The buffet was great (and AFAIK authentic)
 DD> and I sampled some dishes I had only read about. Plus there was mango

We've been the only gringos in some Mexican places. One, in Savannah,
catered to the blue collar crowd but also welcomed those in uniform so
we always got a good meal.


 DD> ice
 DD> cream offered for dessert. I quite liked that.

What about mango lassies for drinks?

 DD>      8<----- YOU KNOW ----->8

 RH> At least the next day, after the first round is well settled.

 DD> My favourite thing at the Gyros places (they're all 'Quick Serve') is
 DD> this ......

 DD>       Title: Souvlakia (Greek Shish-Kabobs)
 DD>  Categories: Lamb/mutton, Bbq, Citrus
 DD>       Yield: 8 Servings

 RH> We usually do a lamb gyro, sometimes a kebab and about half the time, a
 RH> baklava for dessert.

 DD> Depends on my mood which I'll go for - sandwich or souvlaki. And I
 DD> don't often do dessert. Unless there is rhubarb pie on offer. Not
 DD> strawberry/ rhubarb which I consider an abomination.

But others of us like it. The baklava pieces are small so there's always
room for one of them.


 DD> I had a version of this at Flavour of India - there was also chicken
 DD> biryani on offer - but I'd never had goat before. It turns out it's a
 DD> lot like lamb - but a bit more "chewy".

A lot bonier too. I've used it in combination with other meats in my
chili.
