I'm not a picky eater. Too many Indians are averse to food from other places.

Do you know Rohan, by any chance?

Probably not. I used to work with an Indian guy (Mumbai, IIRC), and he always ate sandwiches or cereal for dinner, because whatever was served on the ship we worked was so far removed from his usual cuisine.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

He didn't eat fish or chicken? I'm guessing he is vegetarian for religious reasons.

And any food can be made spicier with a combination of onions, garlic, ginger, or chilli.

Seriously? Huh, that surprises me. Indian food is so rich with flavors and aromas that i would've thought other cuisines would be very easy to consume

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

For many Indians, other cuisines feel bland in comparison.

[–] TheV2@programming.dev 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well, that's one of the reasons. Everything is too mild to my parents' taste.

There's nothing that a little mango pickle can't fix
