Have we yet pointed out that biryanis exist to service Ralph's needs? A curry that by definition is all mashed up together?
Which also means that no other curries work that way. Because they aren't biryanis.

NEXT TO EACHOTHER. It is the only civilised way to eat a curry. We're not animals, gentlemen. Well, we are animals, but the point is a delightful meal isn't just about the flavour or the eating upon therein. It is also -crutially- about PRESENTATION. Having the constituent parts next to each other is the most aesthetically appealing, because you can see what is indeed what. There is still plenty of sauce-soaking-in-rice-able potetnial, but one is allowed to eat one's curry clamly and in an ordered way. Certainly 'mixing it all up' is the poorest way to eat a curry. And such people are ruffians of the first order. I don't give a toss about presentation. Food goes in ma belly! Burns hungers. He eats until food is gone. The end. -Ralph

You mix the rice with the rest of the curry. Any other way makes no sense. -Ralph You're not in prison anymore, Doc'. You don't have to eat your food as fast as you can looking over your shoulder. Pause, enjoy, experience. I get no enjoyment out of taking my time when eating alone, which is most of the time. Fun fact: all meals (no matter what they are) take no longer than 12-13 minutes for me to eat. -Ralph

THE RICE IS NOT THE CURRY. THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU EAT AT A RESTAURANT YOU HAVE TO ORDER THE RICE SEPARATELY! Andy THE RICE IS THE CURRY! I've always thought it stupid that rice has to be ordered separately. Always seems a way to bump the price of the curry up. Actually annoys me. -Ralph

But there are lots of different kinds of rice. I don't want to be provided with rice, I want to choose.

Indian curry goes with pilau rice.
Chinese curry goes with egg fried rice (but not with peas).

That's a very narrow world view. I'm a big fan of vegetable rice. Pilau with surprises!

Not true, it's just the meat / solid ingredients that are mixed in with the rice, the curry sauce is separate and the poll options still apply to that. That's a very narrow world view. I'm a big fan of vegetable rice. Pilau with surprises! Ralph is Scottish. He doesn't like surprise vegetables. Martin

No, because it gives the portion of the world that is not Ralph a choice of which rice to have with your curry.
Does Ralph also order the same type of Narn everytime?

Does Hot Rod count as Horse?
His function is cavalier, which means a horseman/cavalryman, a courtly or fashionable gentleman, or a supporter of Charles I in the Civil War of 1642–9.
Why have we never seen Hot Rod's horse???
(Did someone put it in the curry?)

(but not the mixing thing or the pea thing). It's robbery is what it is! You are ALWAYS gonna have rice with curry! They can ask you what type you want- BUT IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THE CURRY!!!! DAMN THESE HARD WORKING OFTEN FAMILY RUN CURRY RESTAURANTS!!!!
