Indian Food is praised worldwide and celebrated in countries like the UK and Germany. Americans, why do all your comedy shows rag on Indian food? (lemmy.ml)

My problem is with a specific, hyper common ingredient of Indian food: Cumin

I'm sorry, but garlic, onion, cloves, etc don't even come close to the clinging, pervasive staying power of cumin.

I don't like to smell what I cook or eat for days after the fact.

This has never made sense to me. I love the smell of food. When people apologise for the smell of garlic on their clothes, all I can think is "Why?? You smell delicious."

"I could just eat you up"

"Awww... wait you meant that figuratively right? ...right???"
