Indian Food

[Sherlock Holmes]

Indian cuisine is amongst the best the world has to offer but getting it in the US can be patchy. It's common on the coastal/northern states but less so elsehwre, for example here in AZ it's pretty hard to find a decent place that's close.

Who else likes this style of food and what's your favorite dish?

We've had Indian tenants that cooked with a lot of curry. So much so that the smell permeated everything. We have to use an ozone machine to eliminate the smell.

I live in a city in the Great Lakes region, with a population of only around 40k.

We have three pretty good ones. . . though I am not sure if the town is typical, since it is the global headquarters of a Fortune 50 corporation.
. . . . so. . . I'm not real sure it is representative of most places.

We have always had great ethnic cuisine restaurants where a lot of the Phd.'s originate from.

Yes that might get me down eventually, that's a cultural aspect of India, the foods and spices and herbs are a basic foundation of their society, walk down this street in Philly and you'll smell the stench of many kinds of strong cheeses, many people don't mind but I find it overwhelming.

I'd hate to live next door to or above these places despite me generally enjoying Italian food, Indian aromas would be much less bothersome to me anyway.

I'd say it's hard to find East Indian food in AZ because there are so few of them who have emigrated there. I live in a city of 250,000 in Canada and we have Indian, Vietnamese, Thai and many others. We also have Mexican food though about 75% of them are called Taco Bell. Very Mexican.

We have plenty of Mexican food here and some superb Mexican restaurants too, this one is in Scottsdale:

I'm not impressed by any cuisine that is constantly loaded with spices. If you have to cover up your original dish, then it's not good to begin with.

 

[Woodznutz]

Once a Chinese tenant prepared a "special" dish for some friends. She carried the 'delicacy' from her apartment on the third floor to a first-floor apartment where the special dish was to be served to friends. The smell was so bad that other tenants were in the hallway wondering what the smell was. I was called and encountered a smell that was so bad that I thought there was a dead animal in the building somewhere. After a futile search of the building turned up nothing I knocked on doors where the smell was strongest and finally found the culprit. The girl was almost suicidal with apologies, not realizing that most western noses were repulsed or sickened by some Asian foods that were 'fermented' (rotting) and promised not to prepare such dishes again.

It took hours and several fans to finally rid the building of the terrible smell.

Most foods are terribly bland without some kind of seasoning.

Most people's palate's are skewed. Even at that, overdoing the seasoning means a poor dish to begin with.

Or an attempt to preserve food from spoiling that becomes a cultural thing.

Your bigotry continues to make you look stupid here. Keep it up!

Times change. Indian hotels stink to high hell.

I like Indian food, as far as being among the best in the world is wholly subjective.

However, I think we only have one or two in my area, and judging whether they are good isn't easy. A person needs only to like them to say they are reasonable, even though there is no objective comparison.

Mexican food is among the best. I suggest Taco Bell as a culinary treat.

There are some really overwhelming aromas that come from many types of foods. I love Italian food and garlic, but there is a place in SF called the Stinkin' Rose that specializes in garlic--so much so that you can smell it a block away. They make good food but the stench is hard to take.

Spices ARE food, herbs ARE food. Indian food is based on that, these spices and herbs are not an addition to the food, they are PART OF the food.
