    That you would deny Indians that, while accepting that Thai cuisine only started using chilli peppers in the last 300 years, opens a broader discussion about your personal understanding of culture and ethnicity.

    Not really…

    Because one is an ingredient, and one is a a cooked item that someone mentioned as a food that was invented in India.

    Those seem like two very different types of things.

    But I don’t know why you want for chili peppers instead of just curry.

    Curry was invented in India, but me and most people I know think Thai curry is better. Which is literally what I said in the beginning…

    What is even going on in this thread?

    Why do so many people that know nothing about this care so much?

    Is it just because India is the topic?

      No one made mention of anything being ‘invented’ anywhere until you, just now. I think I’d like to quote from one of history’s true greatest food scholars when I say, “What is even going on in this thread?”

      I’m outta here.

        That’s what it is…

        When OP said “Indian food” you took it as any food that’s sold in India, regardless of where it originated

        So like, if there’s a taco bell, then tacos are Indian.

        If there’s spaghetti, then spaghetti is Indian.

        I’d think that would also mean all those people “worldwide” aren’t eating Indian food either then. They’re eating the food of whatever country theyre in. Do you think Uber Eats has spaceships? Is that what ufos really are?

        I’m outta here.

        Good night, thanks for sticking around long enough I could start to understand what you were talking about. That shit was a trip.
