Just had Indian food

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

BYUCougarsFan

It’s better. Significantly. I was shocked.

Idacoug

Jun 18, 1:51pm

Where did you eat? London?

kccougar

Bury st. Edmonds

Idacoug

Where in England?

ExitStageLeft

Jun 18, 1:52pm

So it was good then?

ochobeeguy

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

kotacoug

Jun 18, 1:53pm

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

pink22

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

At Dishoom?

^ 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

Jun 18, 1:54pm

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.

IceCreamButt

Jun 18, 2:07pm

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

kotacoug

Jun 18, 2:10pm

I disagree. It's like saying a bacon burger is what America is known for when

IceCreamButt

Jun 18, 2:15pm

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.

IceCreamButt

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.

Hypnotoad

Jun 18, 3:38pm

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

Roko's Basilisk

Jun 18, 1:54pm

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

bluesloth

Jun 18, 2:01pm

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

Idacoug

Jun 18, 2:16pm

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

kccougar

Jun 18, 1:56pm

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

Give your Mom’s phone back to her and go get yourself a popsicle.

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

Little India in AF is really good.

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

hamaca

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

ebv

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

RalphWiggam

Jun 18, 2:01pm

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)

Dishoom is amazing. 10/10

CavemanCougar

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.

Finally a man with some sense…taste, smell, sight.

pink22

You lack taste, both culinary and manners.

Ah, I see the problem. Next time, order WITHOUT baby poop.

jdub

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...

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

I haven’t lived in eastern Idaho since 1997.
