Indian Food is praised worldwide and celebrated in countries like the UK and Germany. Americans, why do all your comedy shows rag on Indian food? (lemmy.ml)

That you would deny Indians that, while accepting that Thai cuisine only started using chilli peppers in the last 300 years, opens a broader discussion about your personal understanding of culture and ethnicity.

Not really...

Because one is an ingredient, and one is a a cooked item that someone mentioned as a food that was invented in India.

Those seem like two very different types of things.

But I don't know why you want for chili peppers instead of just curry.

Curry was invented in India, but me and most people I know think Thai curry is better. Which is literally what I said in the beginning...

What is even going on in this thread?

Why do so many people that know nothing about this care so much?

Is it just because India is the topic?

No one made mention of anything being ‘invented’ anywhere until you, just now. I think I’d like to quote from one of history’s true greatest food scholars when I say, “What is even going on in this thread?”

I’m outta here.
