Thanks for the warm welcome CP, mike.
I have been a big fan of curries/indian cuisine for around 15-20 years now. I understand the cuisine is very popular in the UK but it hasn't been as poplular here but it seems to be catching on.
There was a time in which the closest Indian restaurant that I knew of was 100 miles (160km) from here. Presently we have 10 Indian restaurants within 50 miles of me, including one 5 miles away.
Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, Italian tend to be much more popular. 6 or 7 Mexican restaurants with 5 miles of my home. Anyway I will stop rambling and start learning about the BIR method.
Thanks again
