I like this idea. I think it's a great thing to do, to take  
"traditional" dishes that are really only 50-300 years old, but that  
people just accept as traditional, as sort of trick questions. A month  
or two ago, a biryani that involved tomato sauce would've tricked me  
(before I met you guys!).
