"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?

My father won't eat anything vaguely spicy so curry is out for him. However, unbeknownst to him, he has been eating garlic and ginger and mild spices for years (my mum, sis and I just don't tell him!) but curry would be pushing our trickery too far.
He also won't eat venison, however, stick it in a stew and tell him its beef and he's away.

My step father would happily eat spag bol but wouldn't eat any other pasta dish because he didn't like pasta.
I can understand folk who eat plain meat and boiled veg not liking 'spicy' food but I do get confuddled by those who chow down on a chicken kiev but won't eat Indian food because they don't like garlic. What The Funicular???

It is such a shame that many restaurants have Anglicised their menus, serving dishes that would never be recognised in their supposed homeland, and consequently turned off a whole load of customers.
True Chinese, Indian, Thai, Afghan, Italian food is a million miles from the stuff that gets served up in so many restaurants.
