[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love it! My kids love it and DH loves it too.  But, it is OK not to like it.  I dislike Mexican and Tex Mex to the extreme, and also [b]Greek cuisine[/b] and make no apologies. My DS started eating chicken curry at 11 months old! We lived in East Africa and Indian food is very popular there, that is how we got introduced to it. I was told by a Pakistani kid in my class, that here in the US we really don't know what real Indian/Pakistani food it.  He is right. I see any raw onion and peppers and mush that is Mexican food to me, I get a gag reflex right away!  It is perfectly fine you don't like it.  [/quote]

I know this thread is about Indian food--but how can you dislike Greek?![/quote]

Because of the raw onion mostly. I otherwise like the concept, but there is also some spices that I can' identify that makes me sick in addition to onion. Cooked onions, I am fine with.  I always had some kind of sensitivity to raw onion, garlic and peppers, roasted and fresh. I get sick and throw up.[/quote]

I'm Greek and wondering what Greek dishes you're eating with raw onion?! I can't think of a single one with the exception of a salad. Perhaps you're frequenting middle eastern owned "Greek" restaurants and actually ordering middle eastern food - tabouli or something? [/quote]

Some gyros I tried, who knows what I was eating. Haven't tried it in years now.  Could be that I have no idea what real Greek food is.  All I know is some meat was cut up from the gyro, and they added some stuff in the pita bread, like yogurt and onion, and sick within minutes, literary throwing up.[/quote]

Ok yes you're right there is raw onion in gyro. I know they make you sick but now you have me craving one. I don't eat the beef/lamb gyro myself - I hate the flavor of lamb anything. But I bet my life if you had grilled chicken cubes on a stick with lemon, oregano, and salt you'd love it (without onion or course :)). The spices the restaurants use 99% of the time on gyros or souvlaki aren't even remotely "Greek" so I'm not surprised the flavor is off putting. Lemon, oregano, salt. That's all you need to make it at home which is what we do. Anyhow to get back to Indian food - probably the same situation in restaurants vs home cooked. [/quote]

I would probably like that kind of chicken!  Anyway, back to Indian food. [/quote]
