So let's go over that again: Opening a Nepalese momo restaurant in New York City and not selling jhol momo would be the same as if I, an inveterate New Yorker, opened "Gersh Kuntzman's New York City Food Restaurant" in downtown Kathmandu and sold burgers, French fries, shakes, knishes, pretzels, but no hot dogs. Such a restaurant would no doubt be incredibly successful (hey, it's me!), but something would be missing.
