Characterizing the experience as “different,” local grandmother Eileen Rutherford, 78, ate Indian food for the first time Saturday.

Although Rutherford was initially reluctant to try the cuisine, she was persuaded by her visiting grandchildren Melissa, Brandon, and Allison, who told the septuagenarian she needed to “expand her horizons.”

“I couldn’t believe that she had lived through three wars and the Great Depression and never even tasted Indian food once,” said Rutherford’s eldest grandchild Melissa, 22. “I was like, ‘Grandma, you’ve got to try it. It’s so good.’”
