[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He makes no apologies  :lol: I find it interesting that he lumped an entire nation's cuisine alongside 'sweet pickles' but if the Indian posters aren't offended, who am I to be?

He makes a point though. If you dislike curry and /or any of its components, it does eliminate a lot of options for you. Kind of like people who dislike cilantro have most Tex-mex ruined for them. I can’t stand fish, and there is so much Thai and East Asian (and the good old Caesar salad) that I cannot eat because of ubiquitous fish sauce.

Does anyone disagree with that line of thinking?[/quote]

No one disagrees that it's fine to dislike Indian food. If I were serving him I wouldn't make Indian food, just like I don't make stuff with cilantro for my dad. I do think it's interesting that he has to imagine pureed snails for French food rather than saying something about butter or cheese which do actually make huge swaths of French food gross to some people. The real issue, for me, is that it's a dumb, boring thing to write about. Not every thought that goes through your brain has to be put on the page, even if you're a columnist. "I don't like this because it tastes bad to me" isn't an interesting contribution to any conversation, it isn't funny, it exists only to be words on a page. Why bother writing that?[/quote]
