Curry

Curry or often called Kurry by Bustopher is a spicy dish from India. It's easily the most important food in Sheldon and His Jellicles, being loved by Bustopher Jones and enjoyed by Sheldon Cooper, Old Deuteronomy, Mr. Mistoffelees and Priya Koothrappali (who is Indian herself). Rum Tum Tugger, on the other hand, as a general rule, doesn't like curry; he prefers instead to eat pheasant, grouse, rabbit, fish and cream, although this hasn't always been portrayed consistently in the spoofs. Curry is often misspelled as "kurry.

As Bustopher is unable to cook curry, he must rely on other means in order to obtain it. He is liable to pounce on Sheldon when the latter cooks anything in a pot, as the pot could contain curry, as proved in a strip where Sheldon attempts to cook oatmeal and Bustopher pounces on him, claiming "all boiling pots sound the same". Sheldon also once offered rice pudding to Bustopher, indicating Bustopher's preference for English club food.

In his sleep, Bustopher is often heard dreaming of curry. This once led him to sleepwalk downstairs in order to reach the curry pots. As he was sleepwalking, he may not have realized that he could not open them. Sheldon tends to distance himself from Bustopher when he dreams of curry, fearing that he may be mistaken for a meal.

In reality, although cats are not usually associated with eating curry, a few domesticated felines have eaten it.
