I had a really funny joke in my head when I hit "reply", but it's gone now. Ho hum.

That's odd. My grandma used to make curry every other night when I was in grade school. Like everything else, I got sick of it after two or three weeks and didn't touch the stuff for a long time. Could Chinese curry be made of different stuff? I don't really think so.

Just to clear it up for the un-initiated. Curry is not a single dish. As a matter of fact, there is no such dish as 'curry'. Its just a massive generalisation regarding south asian cuisine, which was so knowingly propogated by the British. The regional food types vary from area to area massively as there is a huge racial and cultural intermix, as you would expect with a region that has a population somewhere in the 1.4 billion range. There are literally thousands of different dishes that have been so eloquently dumped under the title of 'curry'. Loa, whatever you had, was probably some very bad imitation.

Well it's not impossible, since mango technically is a fruit. Maybe you could modify the "chutney"-bit...
We have a berry in Sweden we call "Hjortron" which look exactly like raspberries only they're amber/golden-coloured and contain much more sugah. Great for marmalade or boiling and applying on ice-cream (Aww, now I'm all hungry). Mostly grow in the north, mostly.
I primarily think curry as a red-brown meat-stew with shredded beef or chicken, but I'm ready to try other styles...

Bearing as I do the rank of Swami Guru in Daryus' Curry Order, I am shocked that such a thing as 'bad curry preparation' exists. You just need to find a good local takeaway, and cultivate a relationship (I get Crimbo cards from mine - all hail Holloway Indian Takeaway!). Alternately find a good cookbook and experiment - Madhur Jaffrey is fairly international...
