In reality it's just cheeseburgers.

Generally when people think of Mexico they think of tacos. They don't tend to think specifically of al pastor tacos.

I don't think I have ever lived anywhere in the US where al pastor was the first thought when it comes to Mexican food.

It's better? What? Dang I love Indian food in America.

Jun 18, 1:50pm

It’s better. Significantly. I was shocked.

Idacoug

Where did you eat? London?

Bury st. Edmonds

Where in England?

Jun 18, 1:52pm

So it was good then?

Just as a reference have you eaten at Bombay House in Ptovo?

kotacoug

Yes. I’ve eaten at many Indian food restaurants.

Idacoug

Jun 18, 2:14pm

Well yeah. They’ve been in England a lot longer than America.

Indians have been in North America a long time

He’s not wrong. Just took longer in the U.S. to gain traction. Not that Indians

Second this. Some of the best Indian food I've eaten has been in London.

Jun 18, 1:53pm

At Dishoom?

Jun 18, 1:53pm

^ Spicy lamb chops

It is to the UK as Mexican is to the US.

You know English food is bad when Tikka Masala is considered a national dish.

Hypnotoad

Al pastor in Mexico was also culturally appropriated from Lebanon but no

kotacoug

Jun 18, 2:06pm

It isn't considered the national dish of Mexico by anyone though.

Jun 18, 2:07pm

It’s probably the dish that Mexico is most known for I think.

Mexican food— Tacos. Tacos— Al Pastor. I don’t think I’ve ever been to

kotacoug

Jun 18, 2:26pm

I've been to plenty of taco places where al pastor is an after thought.

Jun 20, 1:23pm

Al Pastor is harder / takes more time to make.

no, that would be a super sweet pork burrito. Where else do you think Cafe Rio

maxpowers

Jun 18, 2:35pm

Well I mean cafe rio IS as authentic as it gets so 😉

kotacoug

Jun 18, 2:38pm

No way.

How do you know it wasn't just one particularly good restaurant?

Good point. I think it's funny when people say city x has awful BBQ or whatever

bluesloth

It was one of many Indian restaurants we picked on a whim.

Idacoug

Honestly, Red Fort (Mumbai House) rivals anything I've had in England

Indian food is so unpleasant to look at that I can’t eat it.

Indian curry is not my thing. I’d never survive a trip to India.

Initially read this differently, looked at who wrote it, and realized I must have read it wrong which, upon a second

It's pricey, but this is hands down the best Indian food I've ever had.

The best part of English cuisine, by far, is Indian food.

The best Indian food I have ever had was in Japan; our neighbor was from India

I had an Indian patient bring me some tikka masala and naan for Christmas

When I was in London I asked to go out for an authentic British dinner (tea)

Jun 18, 2:10pm

Dishoom is amazing. 10/10

Jun 18, 2:15pm

We ate at Dishoom two weeks ago. Best Indian food I've ever had. The dessert

Indian food in Europe has gone too sweet for me. Had it 4 times in a few

No. Indian food is disgusting in taste, odor and appearance.

You lack taste, both culinary and manners.

Let me guess--fine cuisine for you includes Mtn. Dew and Cheetos dust.

I ate at Dishoom in April, food looked nice but did not live up to the hype...

TrustMeIKnow

Jun 18, 2:31pm

Wonder if it tastes "so good" because...other food there is...well...English

Dishoom in London was amazing. Best Indian food I've ever had. Went last month.
