Spelling: Mussamun In my experience, it's a Thai dish and, yes, it refers to being a "Muslim" curry. Lamb, potato and peanuts generally feature. I presume it comes from Southern Thailand with influences from nearby Muslim states Malaysia and Indonesia. http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/recipes/poultry_curry.html http://nosheteria.com/2005/07/panang-with-panache.html (A not very muslim dish, but I once made an _excellent_ fried rice with leftover boiled rice, leftover pork roast, soy sauce and a decent helping of mussumun curry paste. My Mum liked it so much she wanted the recipe.) -- Rev Simon Rumble <simon@xxxxxx.xxx> www.rumble.net
