...inherited traditions that immigrants must be encouraged--even required--to adopt. And they fret that if newcomers don't assimilate into that common culture, they won't be truly patriotic. McCain rarely discusses the dangers of mass immigration, but for many conservatives, the fact that some immigrants eat vindaloo or bok choy rather than turkey on Thanksgiving isn't charming; it's worrisome. They see multiculturalism as the celebration of various ethnic cultures at our national culture's expense. And when that celebration is linked to the claim that America's national traditions are racist--as it sometimes...
...Annenberg, there’s always the one guy who eats well. While the rest of the freshman class cowers before the difficult choices—chicken vindaloo or Chickwich?—the one guy who eats well makes odd selections from the condiments at the salad bar, uses lots of soy milk, and starts slipping fives to dining hall workers in exchange for new ingredients. At the end of it all, he pulls a soufflé out of the microwave...
...Bush war room is going to war with itself. Beginning this month, the young White House and Bush-Cheney-campaign operatives who in 2004 monitored constant live feeds of candidate John Kerry and then mercilessly tormented him about his weakness for shrimp vindaloo, kite surfing and Sun Valley are splitting up and fanning out to competing Republican presidential campaigns--all knowing one another's moves and working from the same playbook.

As she shows, many of the dishes that seem most quintessentially "Indian" to Western palates are reworkings of Middle Eastern prototypes brought to India by immigrants and invaders. Over the centuries, Turks, Mongols and Persians rode down into India, bringing their love of meat...
CURRY LIZZIE COLLINGHAM There were no chili peppers in India before the year 1500. So how, you ask, did they make vindaloo, that searingly, deliciously lavalike dish? They didn't. First the chili pepper had to make its way to India from the New World--kind of like long-distance takeout--catching a lift with Portuguese traders. In fact, the quintessentially Indian vindaloo is actually an adaptation of a Portuguese dish--the name is an Indianization of the Portuguese vinho e alhos (wine vinegar and garlic). Vindaloo is just one of the dishes examined in Curry. Part world map, part...
