'Indian food is terrible' tweet sparks hot debate

[ARMalik]

Indians have infested Internet the same way rats infested 12th Century Britain and caused the Black Plage there.

I once had a French dish called Quiche. It was bland but interesting, but I will not prefer to have it every time I eat out.

Indian food would be better if they didn't use heeng all the time. But I guess that's the main difference between Pakistani and Indian food.

I don't about other communities but heeng / hing is not often used among Indian Muslims, at least as per my knowledge.

Most people responding to that tweet are, and many of them are not even Indian. And I am just curious, if the food is as bad you say, why are there so many successful Indian restaurants in most of the world's major cities?

there is a phrase "Let's try Indian food"
beside 90% of their clients are Indians.
Even a Pakistani wont go to Indian restaurant twice.

"Indian food is terrible and we pretend it isn't,"

Wait.. How is that racist ??!!??.. Probably the most insecure people on earth.. With probably 1.5 billion Indians out there but suffering from a huge inferiority complex

TBH "Indian" food is as massively diverse as the country.. South Indian food is nothing like what you get in the North and some of the most famous so called Indian food in the West are not really Indian either, Some are concocted by Bangladeshi's in Britain to suit Western palate and market it as Indian.. Vindaloo for example

First up, I don't think there is any need to be outraged about what one person said. People nowadays get outraged over the smallest of things and this was a very small thing. That person was just stating his own personal opinion. We all have personal opinions about people, places, things,etc and not all of them are good. We have negative opinions as well which we keep to ourselves for fear of hurting someone which is fine. Some people have a tendency/behavior of expressing whatever they feel openly which is fine as well. I don't think there was anything racist in his tweet. He was just stating his own personal dislike for Indian food. That's it. No need for all this hullabaloo.

But what I feel sad about is people here just for the sake of it hurling abuses and talking trash about India. People calling Indians 'cowpiss drinkers', 'Gangus',etc. I don't understand what goes on in the mind of these people. What satisfaction do these people get when they abuse a certain community needlessly just for the sake of it? Do these people even have self-respect? Because only when you truly respect yourself will you respect others.

I think there should be a need for more civilized and respectful debate regardless of the topic. Sometimes I truly feel this is the Kaliyuga (Age of spiritual decline).

I have to disagree with you there. there is truth to what you say, but from what I experienced, Indian food does have a pretty strong base. Those who like it really like it and go often, whereas most are indifferent. I have been to a couple decent restaurants in cities like New york and San Francisco and i would say the mix was about 50/50 South Asian/western. Obviously, most restaurants have to vater to the non-South Asian population to stay in business, especially in smaller cities. And almost every major city I have been to has at least one major Indian restaurant in its city center, even smaller ones like Helsinki and Talinn. On a side note, I was surprised to see a Nepali restaurant in Helsinki, which I definitely was not expecting.

Not true, filthy smelling indian. My tamil co-workers always ask me about Pakistani restaurants because they can't stand disgusting indian food. there's lots of Pakistani restaurants in DC, MD, VA and they market as Pakistani, not indian. In fact there's a very famous Pakistani restaurant in DC which gives free food to the homeless. Local broadcaster did a story and now that restaurant is filled will disgusting, smelly indians like yourself.

Go rape your sister, as your filthy culture teaches you.



The Indian infestation has reached PDF and it has a disgusting smell. These rape-loving freaks need to be banned.

Whatever you say lol. Doesn't change the fact almost nobody in the west knows about "Pakistani" food, whereas almost every major city has Indian restaurants so packed it is difficult to get a reservation. And I am talking about the good ones. I have even been to some mediocre ones in London and New York that were still packed.

Actually that hasn't been my experience. I have been living in the US since 1996 and every one I have met has talked about their experience at a Pakistani kabob place. This one Chinese-American family I know always talked about how nihari is the best dish they ever had.

As a filthy, smelling indian, you are constantly thinking about 2 things: rape and Pakistan. so that's why you are here bitching.

Look at the top restaurants in most US cities. Indian restaurants are almost always featured near the top.

Good job. Don't abuse them even if they abuse back. We have to be respectful people. Supply facts but don't abuse or disrespect.

Chinese and Indian food is a bit disgusting. If that makes me racist than so be it.

It doesn't make you racist. Everyone has his/her own personal likes/dislikes.

Indians hate Muslims in general but claim Muglai cuisine as their own which is pretty hypocritical.

Isn't Pakistanis here hating Indian food (Mughlai cuisine as you say) just because it is Indian hypocritical as well? I think Pakistanis like to associate with Mughals right? So when they say Indian food is disgusting, they are also saying Mughlai cuisine is disgusting.

Anyway, I just wanted to point out that Indian cuisine is not just Mughlai cuisine. You will be surprised with the variety of Indian food in different states.
