I have never understood the fascination with muh ethnic food. I have found much more joy in finding recipes made by white people 100+ years ago and making that than any shitter beaner restaurant. I can't even fathom eating at an Indian restaurant considering how low their general sanitary standards are as a people.

Because people will do this to seem cultured and and interesting .

I know people who will literally eat drugs they find find on the bathroom floor but will say to you "oh is the *insert foreign slop* too spicy for you white person?" but then they'll fill their body with shit goyslop, drugs and endless binge drinking.
 
@Save the Loli There are too many things to quote so I'll just summarize my thoughts here.

I can see where you're coming from stating that vegetarian food can be healthier than red meats. There are several factors that can contribute to this, but if we consider the quality of meat coming from areas that are predominantly vegetarian then I tend to agree. The diet of these animals is sub-par with a lot of pollution contributing to a poor quality of life as well as poor nutrition once consumed.
The problem with red meats is you have to eat them sparingly, because modern diets have wildly skewed omega-6 levels because of seed oils. High cholesterol becomes a problem because when you have a lot of omega-6 it messes up your arteries. So you almost certainly don't want to eat much red meat.
When I think of foods being "problematic" or "not great" I'm thinking more along the lines of bioavailability. When considering plant based proteins against animal based proteins, there is a stark difference between the two which ultimately favors the consumption of meat for the purposes of overall nutrition. That's by no means to say that you can't get your dietary needs or body build off of a vegetarian diet (it's been shown in athletes for years) but the amount of vegetarian food necessary to achieve the same micro and macronutrients for bodybuilding would add significant time and effort to eating by comparison to eating a meat-based diet.

Now by no means do I have issue with eating vegetarian periodically - humans are omnivorous and it'd be retarded to pretend otherwise - but consider lifestyle, availability, and overall health, and you'll see that a balanced diet is important. The problem that I see with Indian food, and thereby Indian culture, is a failure to eat things that would provide many of the micro and macronutrients that they need, leading to the "skinnyfat" physiques you see in a lot of impoverished areas.
That is true, but again, that's why supplementing with dairy is important since that has some of those micronutrients your body needs. Combined with high-protein would give you enough of the whole proteins you need for muscle and strength. A lot of Indian people don't eat healthy, since their obesity rate was mentioned and others have likely been taught to eat smaller portions or use dairy sparingly (the latter might also be because many are lactose intolerant, especially South Indians without Aryan and Turk genes which are more likely to be lactose tolerant). A lot of the problem is going to be avoiding the protein-heavy plant sources like lentils or chickpeas. Jackfruit for instance is very tasty and does taste like beef, but it's also very low in protein.
And yet they have never won a war and rarely win at sports.
Sure they did, why do you think Hinduism still exists while all the other places Muslims ruled are now 99% Muzzie? And they beat Pakistan over and over again too in modern times. Pakis are genetically very similar to Indians but eat more meat. They also are very good at cricket and field hockey.

You've never had proper "Indian" (encompasses all of India and Pakistan and multitudes of cooking styles) food.
brown rice which is certainly very healthy
Lol, NO.
plus historical records of Hindu warrior groups
Uh-huh, until they mogged by meat eaters like Sikhs and Mughals.
Adding dairy to a vegetarian diet provides the necessary nutrients and proteins a vegan diet lacks
Not in sufficient amounts to compare with what a meat eater gets.
Im iranian if you count that as sandnigger
No, I don't. Iranians are not Arabs, you well know.

I'm not one to defend Pajeets but that's wildly ignorant. They are extremely skilled at their own sports e.g. hockey and cricket. Unquestionably some of the best in the world. You will never see an American cricket team defeat an IPL team.
 
Nah. Totally wrong. Youve had bad Indian like people who think they’ve had Chinese because they went to a Chinese restaurant.

Good Indian is brilliant. As is good Mexican and good Chinese.

A vindaloo isn’t about heat, it’s about the spices and done the American way it would be just hot, but authentic Indian food is hot in a different way. And don’t get me wrong, 80% of Indians eat bad Indian food as much as most Americans eat bad American food.

McDonald’s and Dominos have more sales than the finest restaurants combined x 100 as an example.

We mostly eat shit no matter what country you are from.
 
Overrated? I don't think so lol, people shit on it everywhere all the time. What it certainly is is fucking overpriced. Where I live any variety of chicken curry with rice typically costs the same as a luxurious 10/10 Neapolitan pizza no matter which Indian joint you get it at but in 80% of cases it's going to be watery dogshit. Lamb is even more outrageously expensive. But when it's good, it's really good. A good vindaloo hits all my tastebuds just right like nothing else does.
 
Thai food is vastly superior to Indian food, and Thai curry is the best curry.

The overuse of onions and cumin in Indian food also makes you smell like shit. I like onions and cumin, but I don’t wanna stink like a pajeet.

I also don’t trust any food products made in India that I can’t wash before eating.
 
If you have ever actually seen the stuff they eat in India it sure as hell would not be tasty or digestible for humans. This is not some "yt pepo think mayo is spicy" its just a fact its some of the most dirty over spiced load of slop. its not about the flavor its about making the spices over power literally every other sense so you cannot taste it.
One of the English teachers in my high school said that after seeing a smelly lamb carcass on sale with lots flies touching in India, she was put off from eating meat and it was enough for her to become a vegetarian. They let the meat just rot there and the hygiene there is really shit too.
 
I love curries, but the thai are infinitely superior in that area. Indonesian trailing somewhat behind that and Indian far far below. You can get decent ones in britain, but they're usually run by pakis not indians.

Yes, if you leave out thai, it doesn't come close to italian, french or even german food. Indian food only beats south american and african food. It is below even the mediocre middle eastern food, which has some flashes of brilliance.

Big agree. The Indian international students at my alma mater were some of the best people (and chefs) I’ve ever met and they stank so bad you could smell it for hours after they left a room. Thai food is just as fresh and bold without leaving you smelling like you’ve got onions in your armpits.

Someone also mentioned Iranian food. I wish that kind of cuisine was more present internationally. Hell, there’s a lot of ethnic cuisine that has yet to reach the rest of the world because their respective governments are comprised of manchildren.

Fenugreek will also leave you smelling bad as well.

I agree on Thai curry being better than Indian curry, but I do like how both the Japanese and French use curry in their own dishes. Japanese curry cooked more similar to a French stew and a French fricassee of curry chicken both taste amazing.
 
Speaking of slop, dumb question but can any true and honest sandnigger explain to me how you’re not shitting liquid 24/7? I have a fascination with ethnic cuisine but every time I look at Indian breakfasts, Indian school lunches, Indian catering, etc. it’s always slop and slop-mops across the board. Don’t get me wrong, it’s delicious slop, but it is a lot of slop.

Edited to add: the British have yet to teach themselves how to cook real food. I’d rather eat something that tastes great and looks like vomit than something that looks like vomit, tastes like vomit, and also carries the name Spotted Dick.

I think the first thing you need to understand is that "Indian cuisine" in the west, at least from what I can guess based on the dishes you guys are talking about, is in reality just modified street food and some popular dishes from the parts of north and western India that the British or the Portugese had control of, most of which we simply don't eat regularly. For instance, I've never heard of "Vindaloo" in my entire life until I saw Americans talking about it online. The cuisine in India differs a ton just between different states, due to different states having very different terrain, flora, access to meats, and spices. For instance, even though Kerala and Tamil Nadu are neighbouring states, and the Malayali is essentially a descendent of the Tamil in terms of culture, a native from either state can instantly distinguish where something was cooked, even if it's a recipe common to both states.

Since the condition of areas are inversely proportional to how long the British had direct control of them, with cities like Bombay and Kolkata being turned into patches of luxury surrounded by slums, those places have a ton of disgusting people too.

Typically, the average Indian cook attempts to moderate spices as much as possible. This is especially true the farther south you go, since the influence from north Asia goes away and people start to prefer sweeter dishes. When there are curries that have spicy gravies, like with seer fish or chicken, they are cooked in clay pots and made very thick, and eaten with a staple that lessens the impact, like rice, tapioca, or breads. For dishes that use grinded chilli directly, like chutneys, a lot of people here prefer to add mustard seeds and curry leaves to the grinded chutney to fix the taste. For Biriyani, and similar flavoured rice, there are sweet spices added to moderate the spices. My people usually use cinnamon sticks or a bit of tamarind, while the muslims usually use bay leaves. The Sikhs are fond of using grated cheese, though I haven't found cheese to be a good moderator in anything except butter chicken and dal.

I suspect the bad experience many in the west have when dishes are prepared there, is that these moderating spices are added either incorrectly, or not at all, and since the preconception for Americans is that they love ultra spicy food, it's possible this is intentional, to make it more like the vastly more popular Mexican cuisine. I like spicy northern food like Chola Bhatture too, but whenever my stomach is upset, I've always found that reverting to the usual cuisine that I learned from my mother and grandmother fixes it.

Also, I'd like to say: I haven't found the perception that Indian men are skinnyfat to be true. 99% of men and women I've seen here are usually just skinny, and the fat people here, which are unfortunately becoming more common, are just fat. People get their protein through chicken, and for vegetarians, through a regular diet of milk and paneer. Brahmins, for example, who you'd think would be most prone to going skinnyfat, imposed large amounts of dairy in their diets. Large glasses of milk in the morning, tea or coffee brewed only with milk, desserts made of thickened milk and cream, etc. Dairy is common among other castes as well, but I've noticed that Brahmins particularly insist upon it at home.
 
Última edición:
Any Indian dish with meat, poultry or fish isn't a real Indian dish. What they actually eat is the cheapest possible veggie slop stews.
Indian Christians and Muslims use meat, poultry and fish all the time. Vegetarianism is not part of their cultural traditions.

The most enormously overrated cuisine on Earth has to be Japanese. It's just knockoff Chinese but shittier and blander.
 
I used to hate indian food but a pakistani family thats lived in the area for decades opened a small take out place near me a few years ago. Food is incredible, they make a chicken tikka wrap that has become my take out kryptonite.

Generally will stay away from most indian places though, quality is usually hit or miss.
