' I'm having a green curry and my wife a red curry '

This evening at the Thai Restaurant , that I discovered last weekend ,I met a Tunisian man, who had lived in France for 30 years, and he was ordering a green curry and a red curry plus other Thai dishes. It's unusual to find someone who likes curries!
Before I had just finished eating a red curry with a German guy who had also ordered the same curry.
In fact before that there was a man who had come to pick up his order which also included a red curry; must be very popular! The curry was pretty tasty but the portion could be a lot bigger!
