You can also find it on (O.C.) and in (various) dishes in the Central
Square Indian restaurants.  As a member of the soap-voters, I would
like to find out how to make it go _away_; i.e., what is the best way
for a speaker of no Asian languages besides a few words of Sanskrit 
to get it left out of my dishes?  Or should I be asking some other 
.group?
