I''ve been thinking some more about this, trying to think up a way of playing as the curry itself.

I have a vague memory of a TV show from when I was a kid that featured an italian chef who made a plate of spaghetti meatballs. One of the meatballs either rolled or ran away (my memory is sketchy) and throughout the whole segment he was chasing this meatball through the city streets and stuff. In the end, he caught it and put it back on the spaghetti.

Not sure where this came from, it may have been from an american show but it could also have come from an Australian show. Anyone know what I''m talking about?

Anyway, how about doing something like that? You''re a bowl of curry being served to a table and you somehow manage to escape onto the floor and roll away. The chef comes after you and you have to evade him. Possibly some kind of platformer set in the restaurant. To complete the game, roll through the labyrynth of tables and customers, into the kitchen and out the back door to freedom. Maybe you can pick up rice from customers'' tables for health. Maybe you have to liberate other curries from the tables in an Oddworld-fashion. Maybe I''m thinking about this too much and should get back to work...

Curry was NOT invented by the British.

And even Chicken Tikka Masala, whilst invent in England, was created by an Indian chief.

Curry is Britain''s favourite food, but it is a native Indian dish.

Native indian curry is a different thing (Wikipedia).

Playing as a ''sentient curry'' is definitely the way to go, I think... otherwise there''s no opportunity for interactivity. But I''m wondering quite how a mixture of meat pieces and sauce could move through the city streets; I mean, a meatball can roll, but the curry would... ooze? Not sure it works very well, unless you turn it into a ''curry monster.''

VThornHeart: substitute "India" for "China" in there and you''ve got an interesting little storyline... Hmm, yes, takeaway curry most certainly happens. If you''re a takeaway the setting can ultimately become anything, though of course you (the curry) must be in the classic aluminum foil dish thing.
