Because cultures around the world including western ones haven’t done the exact same thing at some point in time.

You act like a dish can’t be enjoyed because it may have been used or even developed to mask bad food? Sounds like maybe it did a good job and is therefore tasty.

This thread is starting to sound more like an indictment of people and their cultures instead of the merits of good seasonings and food.

We also used to shit in holes in the ground, but we stopped doing that centuries ago too.

So I guess that makes India 0/2 in the civilization department.

This thread was pointing out that white people (or western culture) have more to their cuisine than salt and pepper. I agree. Then people started attacking other cultures food, and for the exact thing this thread was trying to defend western cuisine with (usage of more spices and seasonings).

Then the conversation devolved to subtle attacks on the cultures and their choice of cuisine, again, exactly what this thread was trying to prevent in regards to “whites people cuisine”.

If you people are shills, you’re not very good at it. If you’re genuine people, perhaps you could expand your culinary horizons a bit.

I’m not going to defend shitting in the streets, I’m also not going to defend white trash welfare families and their disgusting practices who enjoy western cuisine.

I’m just pointing out that other cultures have varied and delicious food that rivals our own. Regardless of cultural practices or how a dish came to be.

Dude. It's okay. You don't have to pretend to not be Indian and it's okay for you to defend your food if you like it. We are doing the same thing with our food.

We're going to shit on yours because it does pretty much all taste the same, for the exact reason you said, it developed as a way to hide the taste of rotting meat, just like western cuisine did, and it does it very well.

We are laughing because our culture doesn't need to do that anymore and yours does. We don't try to defend our past overseasoning as a culinary choice like you are, it was a necessity. You're trying to convince us that the stuff we moved past as a civilization 300 years ago is actually super great just because other cultures haven't advanced far enough to leave it behind.

It's okay to laugh at yourself, it's okay to admit some cultures are superior to others, and it's okay to admit that it's funny that people still do some things in 2020.

I’m American of European descent. You don’t have to be in a culture to enjoy other cultures foods.

You’re making a lot of generalizations and assumptions about things I didn’t even bring up.

By the way, I never said I don’t eat or make western food, far from it. Most of our food is standard western fare. But as a hobby chef, I love to make and try all kinds of food.

Shitting in holes in the ground is still a thing in the Appalachians. Just saying. :P

I mean, I shit in holes in the ground all the time when I'm out backpacking or hunting.

I don't do it in the alley behind my house.

Indeed. We was civilized as well. We dug a pit and built an outhouse. =)

Ok, you’re clearly trolling, got it.
