Dinner with a Colleague

Last night I took a colleague of mine to dinner at Sushi Samba 7. Being German, she had never had sushi before. GASP. She enjoyed the maki rolls more than the sashimi, but I was impressed with her willingness to experience sushi. As she put it, "If I was not adventurous I would not come here from Deutschland". Well, point taken.

I found out over the course of dinner that she had NEVER had Indian food either. NEVER. EVER. In the quarter century that her life has been lived, she has not experienced the gastronomic delight that is curry.
Suffice to say I am escorting her to Curry Row on Monday to provide her the pleasure of my company and expertise with the menu prior to her departure to her homeland.
She's been here 5 months and she's never had sushi or curry...I mean, what has she been eating?
