"Curry"
26 Answers
I am often intrigued by the number of people who don't like 'curry'. The dissenters of my acquaintance cite garlic, spice etc as their reasoning, yet go on to eat Thai, Mexican and Chinese food which contains many common flavours.
I struggle to understand how a vast country's food can be dismissed out of hand. To my mind it is like saying I hate British food when the only dish sampled has been Cottage Pie.
If you are a hater of a particular cuisine could you tell me why you are so anti and would you consider trying a home cooked meal vs an Anglicised take away option?

In such a case, a person cannot eat curry of any kind, or anything else flavoured with turmeric. That is not quite the same as rejecting the food of a whole large nation. Don't Indians ever eat stuff which has no curry flavouring in it at all ?
You can reject the flavour without rejecting the cuisine.

I think the thing that irritates me is the sweeping generalisation with the word 'curry'. I just think it is a shame that folk let one experience with a chicken tikka massala colour their judgement and consequently exclude a varied and vibrant cuisine.
In the same vein you can exchange thai green curry or sweet and sour pork for chicken tikka massala.
