Senegalese Soup (1957) (Sinhalese-Sri Lanka?)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   Jean Anderson's AMERICAN CENTURY COOKBOOK, pg. 63, writes about "Senegalese Soup."  It's a curried soup, and it has been speculated that it comes from Sri Lanka and is really "Sinhalese Soup."
   So I immediately flew to Sri Lanka...and never found it on a menu.
