If your food requires you to put dirt spices all over it in order for it to be palatable, your food is not good.

Leave spices for the rest of us.
Please go ahead and binge on bland goodness.— VirtualSid (@VirtualSid) September 17, 2024
This of course, coming from the country that brought us true delicacies like “pineapple beetroot hamburger” and “vegemite on toast”

Thats like saying, “if your food requires cooking to be palatable, it’s not good.”

Many X users replied to the X post sharing their most preferred cuisine. Looks like, Japanese cuisine, Mexican food, Italian food, and Turkish food are favourites of many foodies.
Incorrect, Japanese cuisine is objectively the best food on the planet. There’s a reason why the majority of fine dining establishments across the globe use Japanese ingredients in their dishes.

Mexican food is the best food on earth!!
— Erika Robles Luna (@Mi_Luna_Loca) September 16, 2024
All this food would give me explosive diarrhea. No thanks.

It’s clearly Italian food by an incalculable amount of miles.

I love Indian food, but best food I have had was in Vietnam.
The variety, freshness and balance of flavors is incredible. Eight years later, I still think about this incredible grilled fish with tamarind sauce. To die for!

Indian food is the best but I bet you’ve only tried 5-6 dishes. It would be best if you explored more. If you do that, you won’t be generalising them as Indian Food but will be more specific about what type of Indian Cuisine the food belongs to
— Richie (@RealSteRn_KinG) September 17, 2024
Indian food is GOD SEND. 🙌😭
+ Mexican food has a ton of similarities with Indian cuisine that the critiques don’t even make sense for people to hate on it. The flavor profile is what makes it unique. 🇲🇽❤️🇮🇳— 🍽️CULINARY+NUTRITION🔍 (@EatTheory) September 17, 2024
What’s your favorite? I like butter chicken, mutton curry pr kebabs.
— Nightshade (@deepans20696126) September 16, 2024
I love Indian food. For some reason, it’s not popular enough around the world. I’ll see 50 Chinese, Mexican or Italian restaurants before I see an Indian restaurant.

The thing about Indian food is that it´s even better in India…
— Jan Woldstad (@JanWoldstad) September 16, 2024
I’m glad you appreciate Indian food, not many people do. Have you tried homecooked Indian food? It’s even better, my mum’s cooking blows any restaurant I’ve been to out of the water.
