Curry, the ultimate health food.
Posted on September 30, 2004
Curry, and I don't mean Coco Ichiban, might just be the ultimate cure-all health food. Curry is said to fight cancer, Alzheimer's, and now the Guardian reports curry leaves may help control diabetes. I'd bet a few hundred yen that, with some selective googling, I could find a good Indian curry might also cure male impotence, asthma, whooping cough, pink eye and today's lunch. Now if scientists could enlighten us about the health benefits of tandori chicken, and garlic nan I'd never feel guilty again.

I saw NHK take a trip to the curry factory (those little blocks of curry you can buy in the supermarket) once. It was totally duisgusting, Those are basically blocks of curry flavoured hardened pig lard. Watching them mix that lard in with the curry flavoring made me swear off that crap forever. I can't believe that the schools are allowed to serve that to children.

Lard is one of the building blocks of comfort food cuisine. If you've ever eaten chinese pastries, mexican desserts, or a burrito, you've eaten lard. Just smile and fill your belly.
