It was an English-style curry. Banana and currants and other weird stuff are traditional.
Actually, it was a bizarre American variant on a curry; it was clearly broiled chicken mixed in a curry sauce, rather than chicken stewed in curry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Luckily they weren't traditional when and where I was in England.

Hmm. That's fascinating.
I wonder if it's only Americans who do that, then? When I was growing up, if we were having a curry-powder-based curry, there were always chopped eggs, chopped peanuts, chopped banana, coconut, raisins... to sprinkle on. That was what made it fun.

i decided to think of something else, and since I'm eating a banana, went with the noun closest to me.

DH likes bananas with his curry, and has always said it was a South African thing. Something bland to nibble if the hot was too much, I think.

Rock on, Simon.
Although I apparently conveyed inaccurate information to a coworker -- I got Kevin's question about Serenity II confused with Joss asking Tim about the blond vampire thing, and told someone that Joss had asked Tim to do Serenity II.

Well, I didn't say it in front of a camera or post it anywhere, so I can't be held responsible for the rumors if they crop up.

Joss is married to Tim?

So, you're saying there's a connection between Joss and Tim?

Consuela thought that:
Joss had asked Tim to do Serenity II.
Perhaps this is where that thought came from: Kevin said, in Kevin "The Minearverse 4: Support Group for Clumsy People" Aug 23, 2005 3:01:48 am PDT
So, last question? I got the mic, stood up and asked: So, Joss, Tim Minear for Serenity 2?
Joss looked totally shocked he got an actual, you know, question. Then he corrected the fact I still can't pronounce Minear. His response? Camera man got it and I haven't got the footage yet to quote... But it was favourable. The campaign for Tim on Serenity 2 has begun.
So, not nearly as definite as the blond vampire gig, but still, I'm hopeful.
