2) On the phone, the telemarketer persuaded the new homeowners to purchase extended warranties on all their new appliances.

Modifiers should be as close as possible to the word they modify.
In sentence 1), it's the curries that have a lot of spices, not the delicatessen. It should be worded, "Rudolph enjoys eating curries with a lot of spices."
The second sentence is o.k.
