If India and Pakistan can get along so well as tandem cuisines on so many menus, why, oh why, do they want to nuke each other to tandoori consistency? Don't ask me. There's lots of stuff I don't know -- like why in France the girls wear scanties, but on lamb chops they put panties. And why (I know this sounds jerky) in Turkey, who eats turkey? I'm tellin' you, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World! Both subcontinental cultures peacefully coexist at Paradise, a restaurant in Hoffman Estates that Leah, Dick and I visited recently. We liked almost all the dishes we sampled -- and I even enjoyed the Bollywood movies and videos plastered CinemaScope-size across a wall. Other issues we address include Frozen Coke, Icee and Slurpee. Interestingly enough, according to this Wikipedia entry, Slurpee actually is Icee. And for the record, the first Icee I ever had was at the UoteM convenience store in what was then unincorporated Jefferson County, Colo., at 20th and Wadsworth.
