I've ran into restaurants saying they're bengali or punjabi but never Bangladeshi or Pakistani

But yes. Pretty sure most Indian restaurants are pakistsni

I think it's just because of where your immigrants are coming from.

Pretty sure most of our Indian restaurants are run by Punjabis, at least going by names and languages spoken (top 5 non-english languages spoken in Edmonton are Tagalog, Punjabi, Cantonese, Mandarin and Arabic, in that order).

Of course if you want to look at restaurant workers more generally they're overwhelmingly Filipino, but they tend to work more at fast food or corporate places, rather than run their own restaurants (although there are a few homestyle Filipino restaurants in town).

 In Japan I recall a huge chunk of their Indian restaurants were Nepali for some reason- can't be arsed to check but maybe they had a favourable immigration deal like Iran did.

All very interesting but meh in the grand scale given I take Indian restaurants as meaning the old meaning of India rather than modern India.
What does annoy me however are the amount of Chinese owned Japanese restaurants. They just don't do it right. I've heard it claimed (by Japanese people to be fair) they just do it as they realise they can charge more.

But it's because Japan doesn't send out immigrants any more - or at least not immigrants who want to work long hours in restaurants.

And be careful - the "old meaning of India" you seem to be thinking of is the old British Imperial India.

Sushi is comparatively easy to make and westerners can't tell Asians apart. Perfect recipe

In Ontario The sushi restaurants are mostly Korean owned. You can tell which ones because they also have things like bulgogi and kimchi on the menu . Sushi has been a thing in Canada for many decades, but korean restaurants have only started getting popular recently, and even then it's mostly bbq places. Korean chicken seem to have only become a thing in the last 5 years here in Ontario.  So sushi restaurants were an easy option.

How far the family has fallen.

For a split second I thought it would be AI Franz Joseph giving his verdict. Sad.

How far the family has fallen.

There was a piece in the NYT recently about the current Habsbrg's racing career.

Also not sure if I've posted before, but loved this detail

How fitting that the House of Habsburg's role in Central European history ended not with a bang, but struggling against a distant and impenetrable Austrian bureaucracy

How far the family has fallen.

The guy in the tweet, Eduard Karl Joseph Michael Marcus Koloman Volkhold Maria Habsburg-Lothringen, is Hungary's ambassador to the Holy See, so yeah.

The Roman Catholic Church has launched an inquiry after two nuns came back from their missionary trips pregnant

A church source told Italian news agency ANSA: "There is consternation at this news. It appears that both women were back in their home nations and obviously had some form of sexual encounter."

Ah. 
Reminds of another thing like that, a woman having a baby without any sexual intercourse. If it happened on Tatooine, it could happen in Africa.

My boy has gotten a new book. Very posh and old timey one called hide and seek pig. On each page there's a rhyme, a flap, and an animal is found.
Usually they rhyme.
Seek, beak. Sheet, feet. So on.

On one page however they go with here and ear.
Does that rhyme to anyone?

Trick question?

Trick question?

Probably more of a "Geordie accent" question?
