"There's a saying that the food in India changes every 100km and yet we're still using this umbrella term popularised by white people who couldn't be bothered to learn the actual names of our dishes," the Californian food blogger claims.

what a silly cow....

personally i hate curry, it's one foodstuffs i can't tolerate, have tried endless times, geed on by friends to try it, but nope it doesn't work for me at all.

[Bobbisox1]

I like curry , mostly Chines as I find the Indian curry to be too spicy for me but people such as these ‘nutters’ will do anything for their 15 minutes of fame

[Bobbisox1]

*chinese*

[emmie]

don't give these people air time, they are nutters..

[emmie]

i come out in blotches for one thing and don't like heavily spiced foods.

I like the OP. What else can it be called? What a load of crap!!
Yes, that's what I call curry. (you'll gather that I don't like it).

It's early but once one fruitcake ABer comes on and says they agree with the fool blogger...th rest will be along like the proverbial busses.

I got used to curry in Malaysia, a restaurant we frequented often did a superb one, I've got the recipe! :o} I often do it when friends visit. It shouldn't burn your mouth!

[Bobbisox1]

Roy ain’t that the truth ;)

[ichkeria]

The word “curry” is rather a lame “catch all” and itself covers a multitude of dishes. So from a culinary point of view it probably should be banned :-)

[drmorgans]

So a bit like pie, soup, biscuit, and cake, a generic term?

[Ken4155]

I've had many a curry made for me by customers. Proper ones take a good few hours to make and taste nothing like the takeaway versions the majority of curry-lovers are used to. And they are certainly not as hot.
As for what else it could be called, how about Asian Custard? :-)

[Bobbisox1]

Asian custard?
Noooo, bleughhh

As the word curry means a sauce in Tamil how as it anything to do with colonialism. The woman is bonkers.

[Ken4155]

Danny, if you read the link, one of the bloggers says the proper Tamil word is 'kari'. It appears we pronounced it wrong but the anglicized version stuck.

[dannyk13]

Ken, many foreign words are anglicised but how she can connect such a word to colonialism is beyond stupidity.
