India has the best food. Nothing else compares

Poo meme aside, how the fuck they managed to have cuisines that have such monolithic flavor profile and that unimaginative?
They are gigantic landmass with centuries of trade history and gazillion culture, yet their cuisine is nothing compared to fucking france and turkey, let alone china

>>216378296
If I may add, indonesian food is extremely underrated and one of the best

I like Indian food. Then some one told me it's just unironic slop and I can't unsee that anymore. Mexican, Japanese, Vietnamese and Chinese food is better though.

Indians and South Koreans are united in their love for the most flaming hot, molten lava flavored, dog shit food imaginable.

I love indian food. It’s like better Indonesian food.
Like they share many similarities. My ranking for such foods:
Indian > Thailand > Malay > Indonesian
Partly because we are so poor, so we skimp on ingredients and protein. Unlike the other 3.

Pashtun/Afghan cuisine is much better. Chapli Kebab and pilau rice mogs whatever the fuck they eat.

>Indians don't skimp on protein
You guys have higher meat consumption than India, what are you talking about?

Make it extra spicy to mask the funk

>>216378246 (OP)
>Food is full of vegetarian dishes
>Everything is some sort of goop
>Ridiculous amounts of fat and carbs, no protein
>Stinks like hell
Idk about that. If your culture doesn't include grilling meat over a fire, your food culture is dog shit (China, Korea, Japan, Greece, Shawarma, America, Spain etc).

I will never not love samosas and onion bahji. And those blocks of sweets they have during divali

No wondet most have type 2

This stuff is actually godly, and i know you all like to rip on them for eating with their hands. But this stuff isnt sticky

Almost without exception, Japanese travelers to India experience severe diarrhea.

>>216378246 (OP)
too spicy

>>216379341
Happened to me in japan. restaurants there arent very sanitary

>>216378246 (OP)
What famous dish should I try? Preferably something with chicken or mutton if there are no beef dishes.

>>216379214
Jadi gini loh, tolol, kita miskin, kalo makan di luar, dikasih lauknnya dikit. Daging cuma seuprit. Dari segi rasa juga ngak kenceng, karena rempah2, cabe, dll. mahal. Belum lagi masalah kualitas bahan mentahnya. Bandingin ama makan di India, Thailand, Malay. Udah lebih murah, lebih banyak lauknya, rempah2nya juga lebih nendang. Lebih mantap lah intinya. Mungkin di sini bisa gitu juga, cuma harganya udah ngak masuk akal.

Dasar goblok. Ngapain sok inggris, pake bendera amrik, gua juga tau lu padahal iq78 indog juga.

I prefer middle eastern stuff
Less spicy

>>216379317
Erm actually halva is not specifically Indian

As well as the balkans

Good morning, Sar.

I think it's pretty telling how in discussions about Indian cuisine here, people with negative comments about it aren't just "Eh, not for me". They're like "b-but unimaginative flavor profile!" "I-It's just slop!" "B-but [nearby country's cuisine] actually does the same thing better!".

Really betrays how bothered they are by the fact that it's one of the most popular cuisines in the world. As if grasping for straws will convince everyone else to stop liking it. I mean, even here were hating on Indians is basic in group signalling, people can't help but admit to liking it

>>216380920
cuisine of the country with the largest population in the world is not exactly the pat on the back you think it is

>>216383045
being popular*

>>216378246 (OP)
I ate some curry and naan the other week and I shit for two days non stop. never happen to me before. indian food is cursed

love me curry chips

>>216383045
another win stolen, will we ever get something to be proud of?

>>216378558
it's the turmeric which absorbs all the lead, heavy metals, and other pollution in the environment and allows jeets to then eat it lowering their avg 76 down further.

never eat spice from india since they're all filled with heavy metals and lead.

>>216383140
There are too many of you to be proud. Imagine a southwesr redneck being proud of puritan new england values.

>>216380920
>it appears that my superiority has led to some controversy
yes

>>216378454
No Korean food is delicious. It's like if Japanese food had actual flavor. And it feels so light and comforting on the stomach with all the fermented ingredients and fresh vegetables. They're also pros at marinating meat and they have hundreds of different cold side dishes that are mostly pretty tasty. Best Asiaslop out there

>>216383208
I think he's referring to spiced Korean food, which is not even universally enjoyed by Koreans.

>>216383231
All their best soups have gochugaru and gochujang kicks ass too. It's not super spicy. Mostly just has a nice flavor. I'd say it's comparatively not nearly as spicy as desi or Mexican cuisine but that's jyst my opinion. I understand some are sensitive to spice. Maybe I'm just a spice nigger but I'm a happy spice nigger lol

>>216380920
dumbest take ever, there is no "best" in taste.
the "Eh, not for me" response works as an answer to a "what is your favorite cuisine?" question, but a sorting problem such as "which cuisine is the best?" needs parameters as a measurement for such qualitative context.
relevant parameters to measure the quality of cuisine is not just popularity, as you can argue that chinese cuisine is only popular just because the sheer number of chinese in the world.
to measure the quality one's culture cuisine we need to set some parameters and among them are:
>variety of flavor (this one is extremely important, if your cuisine can satisfy people with all kind of taste, then you can say that your cuisine is good)
>variety of ingredients
>tradition/history
>creativity of methods
you would expect a country like india to check all the box above, but no, every main course taste the same, every appetizer taste the same, and every dessert taste the same, one thing you can brag about is your snacks, thats it.

indonesian food was genuinely terrible. I had diarrhoea half the time. Thai food on the other hand was excellent

>>216383397
He posted before. He's a Saar who lives there, not a VPN one.

>>216383635
thai food is objectively better than indo, mainly because they utilize more ingredients with more method

>>216378296
>cuisines that have such monolithic flavor profile and that unimaginative?
Japanese and Korean foods are like that, too.

>>216384194
yes, thats why its odd that they even considered good cuisine, china however deserve the top spot, period, ive been looking into it for years and they keep surprising me

>>216378246 (OP)
Personally I disagree although it's enjoyable as a novelty. The best food in the world is of course French. Best cheese, best bread, best sauces, best stews, best pastries. Simply number one
