Currying flavor: town gets food aid

[AsahinaKimi]

OTSUCHI, Iwate Prefecture (Kyodo) Warm dishes filled with the scent of curry spices cheered up exhausted evacuees at a shelter in Otsuchi, Iwate Prefecture — one of the areas most severely hit by the March 11 catastrophic earthquake and ensuing tsunami.

A group of 17 Muslims from an Islamic center in Kasugai, Aichi Prefecture, traveled to the northeastern town, more than 600 km away, to prepare dishes of curry, rice and nan in hope that the evacuees "eat plentifully and get well soon."

"Aren't you cold? Are you feeling well?" the curry "chefs" said to the evacuees while serving the meals.

For the evacuees spending days in the freezing cold amid a food shortage, the hot meals with plenty of meat were heartwarming.

I wish we could here more stories like this instead of the stories about the dregs of humanity the mainstream media so like to pimp out. This is wonderful.
