Happy to see that someone really cares of what we indian care !!…Really it is due to sanskar of our parents and our school which taught us not to disrespect food and treat it well (btw they were also right as we shouldn’t waste it coz almost 25% population in india doesn’t get food regularly) ..But it had adverse impact on our senses and minds (by adverse I mean we can’t tolerate others disrespecting our food or you can say anything which belongs to native india )
Waste of time! We have more important things to deal with in this day and age.If he doesnt like it WHO CARES! He should learn to keep his opinions to himself. I dont go on twitter to say american food has no flavor..oh plzzzz grow up!
