对于印度人来说,咖喱不仅是一种食物,还是可以带到他乡的“信物”。我有一位印度朋友在上海做生意,他每次来中国前,都要采购大量咖喱粉和咖喱食品。我对此很不解,便问他:“超市什么都有,你还带这些东西干什么?”“当然有必要了,我们印度人可以不吃饭,但不可以不吃咖喱。”他不假思索地说出了“空运”咖喱的理由。 For Indian people, curry is not only a food, but also a “token” that can be brought to other countries. I have an Indian friend who is doing business in Shanghai. He purchases a lot of curry powder and curry food each time before coming to China. I was very puzzled and asked him: “The supermarket has everything, what else do you bring? ” “Of course it is necessary, we Indians can not eat, but can not eat curry. ” He said without hesitation the reason for “airing” curry.
