Well, as Indian-based cuisine is based on curry (a ****load of curry) her question may not be as dumb as it seems. You know, India Pale ale. Not everyone now the origins of beer names...Me, to my sister: "I started brewing my own beer again. I'll bring you one when I come into town."
Sister: "Oh, great. What kind is it?"
Me: "It's an india pale ale"
Sister: "It doesn't have curry in it, does it?"
But I loled.
