    @PBS - Please keep this adventure going! I'm just a Yank who has lived in Germany, the UK, Japan, and the US as a part of the DoD. We need to keep opening the Nation's eyes to the cultures that combine to make us one. What better way than the food we share!? This series has been a thoroughly enjoyable trip with Rupak, and I'm ready to go visit my local Indian Grocery out here in the SouthWest before we feast this weekend!

    Afghanistan is not usually included in South Asia as a member of the Indian subcontinent - even though there are some political orgs which include Afghanistan in South Asian institutions.
