I have no idea what to ask for aside from perhaps curry. Any ideas? Anything else that would be neat to receive from Sri Lanka? TIA Sun Mar 09 07:22:10 -0700 2008 11939 zuriga1 1 4098765 Sri Lanka produces many spices ("curry" is really a mix or blend of ground spices) -- you could ask for whole cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, just to name a few that the island is well-known for. Or you could ask for some pre-mixed curry powders or curry pastes. Or you could ask for some loose-leaf tea from Sri Lanka. Sun Oct 12 00:03:19 -0700 2008 3474643 232090 d_doubleyew
