    I mean…

    Yeah, if I compared a pizza to a bowl of ice cream they’d be pretty different…

    But curry is pretty much the only popular Indian food worldwide, everything else was invented in those other countries, it’s not really from India. Or like butter chicken was invented by a foreigner who moved to India.

    If a dish is invented in a foreign country to appeal to the taste of foreigners…

    It’s really hard to attribute it to the country of origin, or the country of invention. It’s literally Taco Bell. Often it takes the country it’s portrayed as from for a long ass time to even hear about it.

    Like, I forget which one but maybe it’s chicken Alfredo? Some dish that is sold in Italian restaurants in other countries for so long, and tourists wouldn’t stop asking for it in Italy, that now it’s actually in Italian restaurants just to keep tourists happy

    But back to curry, most people I know like curry, but prefer Thai to Indian.

    Which is all I said, but apparently I did a very bad job of saying it if so many of you didn’t get it.

      Lol, there are many different types of curry. That’s like saying noodles. It encompasses Italian, Thai, Japanese, Korean…

      Yes, food doesn’t have boundaries and fusion food can be great. Your point about people graduating from Indian to Thai still doesn’t make sense in that context.

      You can also take the opposite and look at fortune cookies. Invented by immigrants and now associated with Chinese food. Is that any different to a foreign person creating a recipe in China with Chinese ingredients, or a French person in the UK using Chinese cooking techniques.

      Is tempura less Japanese because the batter originated with Portuguese traders?

        Seriously…

        Why am I getting so many replies the last few days, where someone tells me what I’ve been saying, but they’re super smug about it and act like I didn’t know?

        It’s super weird that it started happening all of a sudden, and all over lemmy

          You are totally ignorant to how odd and out of place your comments seem to people reading them. You came in with a strange non sequitur that wasn’t really relevant to the discussion at all, then got all weird when people engaged you on it, like your version of whatever was going on here didn’t happen.

          You are the odd one out here! It was fun to read tho.

            A reply I got from him on a thread below just read like trump wrote it, and then goes on to say that he “literally just said” what I then replied. I’m like mf where??

            Yeah, apparently when most people see “______ food” it doesn’t mean food from that country?

            It’s weird.

            But still not as weird as people reading thru a full chain of comments and replying with the same thing the person started out saying like it proved a point.

              I read through every comment, especially when you got deep on speedy and slowpoke, a real Renaissance man!

                Sorry, can’t talk right now.

                In the middle of an authentic American dinner of spaghetti, tacos, and sushi.

                You know, just some good ole American comfort food.

          If you meet an asshole on the way to work, then you met an asshole. If everyone you meet all day is an ass, the problem is likely with you!

      Indian curry is a gravy while Thai curry is a soup and the flavor profiles of their curries largely have no overlap.

      They both are amazing.
