perhaps are there more AB's in the south...almost A2B' nonnies ...they just love fish and coconut but no hot peppers ......grrrr
only partly true . fish a favourite for the people from the coastal regions. as for hot peppers...well, try Andra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala cuisines...

Maybe someday there will be a decent Indian resteraunt in my area. Of course I wouldn't be able to tell the different cuisines. I know just enough about India to recognize Kerala is from the south. The only genuine Indian food I remember was at college a roommate of a friend of mine gave me a small pickled wrapped thing. It was pure concentrated fire and I am from one of the areas of the US that like spicey food.
Where does the b type blood originate or what areas of the world are they more dominant?
As has already been said, the point of origin is conjecture. Some recent thought is that the original mutations for divergent blood types took place in Africa before homo sapiens set out to other realms. The prevailing opinion from anthropological quarters is that type B found some advantage and blossommed somewhere in the general Indus Valley region.

I had a friend in Dublin - she came from northern part of India / her mum was parkistani -she made wondefull B friendly food- Lots of lamb, yoghurt, rice- cauliflower, ginger- carrots you name it - I only recall a few avoids- like lentils and chicken- but she used a lot of dry green peas as well instead of the lentils. Food was not very strong- but VERY flavourfull- and quite creamy - lots of ghee and full fat yoghurt. She made wonderfull fried cheese as well -parneer? with some spicy eggplant dip- boy I get hungry now.......

I recently picked up a book about blood type in Wales and peeked at the section on Bs - it said that it looks like there was an early influx of Bs to the West as the percentage is higher than would be expected from migration from the east of the country and south. i cannot remember the name of the book or the author(s), and I haven't seen it since, I'm afraid. But i remember it was quite a new book. Sorry to be so vague!

The best cookbook for a variety of Indian dishes unfortunately I left stateside.
"Lord Krishna's Cuisine: The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking", by Yamuna Devi ISBN: 0525245642
Virtually the Larrousse Gastronomique of Indian cooking...

Sad to say a lot of those numbers are not very accurate, possibly because they have mixed up genotype and phenotype data.
Here is a map that I've constructed using purely genotype data. It overlays the gene distribution for blood group B over the distribution of Y-chromosome haplogroups.
Using standard statistical tools, the following conclusions can be imputed for the B gene
1. In Eurasians, a strong correlation with haplogroup R1a, but even more specifically with R1A subtype R1a1 2. In South Asians, a correlation with high altitude, stature and lactose tolerance 3. In Africans, a correlation with haplogroup E3a, especially African Americans 4. In Central Asians, a mild correlation with haplogroups C and M 5. In Amerindians, a strong inverse correlation with haplogroup A 6. In East Asians, a mild correlation with fast acetylator phenotype 7. In Africans, a correlation with lower bilirubin levels 8. In Europeans, an inverse correlation Mesolithic repopulation after the Last Glacial Maximum 9. Overall, an inverse correlation with d (Rhesus negative gene)
As for more, you'll just have to wait for Genotype
The link no longer works, all these years later. Wondering where that map might be viewed now. Didn't see it in the Genotype book, as promised two years pre-pub?

When the data is available, I would like to see even a very speculative Genotype worldwide distribution map. The worldwide distribution maps of non-secretor type show a large, predominantly Asian, non-secretor subtype that could correlate with a large presence of Gatherers. So the B distribution is not necessarily close to the Nomad distribution.

I don’t like Indian food; it is too spicy for me. I’m a mutt, numerous nationalities & blood types. My ancestors are all over the map. I’d love to figure out where they picked up the B from, but I can just imagine.
