 NB>>> Have you tried Taste of India yet...?  :)

I know how that happens... 

 DD>> 'tis. Very much so. I want to try breakfast there. I turned Ali's

 NB>> What else would they be serving at breakfast...?

 DD> The temple? Or Lulu's? Both also do turkey bacon (which *always* sucks

 DD> Midwestern breakfast fare. 

I was thinking particularly of Lulu's...  :)  Just wondering if they'd
have more exotic things for breakfast than the usual...  

 DD>>> LuLu's is quietly halal AFAICS, and mostly S.W. Asian and
 DD>>> Mediterranean stuff.  I've not got back to see what Ali has done
 DD>>> with the chilli recipe(s) I gave him.   Bv)=
 NB>>> And that could indeed be interesting... :)  That sounds like a place
 NB>>> I could enjoy...  :)
 DD>> I did. I need to get back there. Probably on a day off during the week
 DD>> -- as soon as I get one of those.
 NB>> Eventually...  :) 

So is Lulu's or Taste of India more likely to come first... ;)

 NB>> I don't know of any places locally that are completely halal, not that 
 NB>> it couldn't be, but I'm not aware of them... Our favorite Indian place
 NB>> has some halal offerings, a special menu of them... And just down a

Multiple colonies, actually... and more than one religious sect
represented thereby... along with other forms of troublemakers, whether
younger sons or just fortuneseekers...  :)  my ancestry includes many
(if not most) of them... 

Thankfully that's less an issue in our area... We have a wide diversity
of cultures here very much in evidence... and an appreciation of the
varied foods brought therefrom...  It may be from being an official
Refugee Resettlement city, or from having multiple institutions of
higher learning actively seeking international students and faculty,
and/or other synergies...  ;)
