Dear Diary,
Have you ever sat down in a restaurant and ordered something only to have the food not quite be what you had anticipated? Have you ever ordered a dish you expected to be sweet turn out to be rather spicy? Or vice versa? If you’ve ever eaten curry, this may have happened to you.
You see, the problem I’ve found with curry is that there are two basic kinds of curry, Japanese curry and Indian curry, or sweet curry and spicy curry. Obviously, these are two very different tastes, yet they share the same name. Why is that? I’d like to petition whoever is in charge of the English language to come up with a new name for one of these curries so that confused restaurant patrons like myself can start getting what we thought we were ordering.
Of course, this isn’t so much of a problem if I’m eating in a Japanese restaurant. I know if I order curry it will be sweet. Nor is it a problem if I’m eating in an Indian restaurant. I know if I order curry it will be spicy. But what if I order curry in a local Chinese restaurant? What am I going to get? It’s always a mystery.
I remain respectfully yours,
Stephen

My understanding about curry is that Indian curry is spicy and Japanese curry is sweet. When it comes to ordering curry in a local restaurant, I would suggest you to check with the waiter/waitress as to what you are going to get before ordering :P Hope this info is useful to you.
