It's a pretty apt analogy, except Americans have access to and can appreciate good Indian food, and the reverse is not true.

Sometimes I think about starting a restaurant that serves burritos with Indian food inside. Both cultures use lots of cumin and coriander so it makes sense, right?

Good curry > tacos.

Choose what? There’s no “or” in your statement.

 

[shoeless]

Sounds about right to me. Could also add :: Doner kebab:Germany

Indian food is difficult to find dishes not made with joghurt, at least the places around here. Mexican without lactose is to be had. So Mexican wins for me.

I think maybe it's been too long since most people have taken a test like the SAT/ACT

It seems fairly reasonable to me, with the caveat that history between the two countries is different, so the relationship with the food might be different on some level, but in terms of ubiquity/availability/general ratio of good-vs-mediocre I chose agree

I understand. Is Indian food for the UK, our Mexican food? I just don't know if it is or, isn't

you're right about this....afaik the UK does not have Tina's burritos

Wat?

Premise is false, because "Mexican" food was eaten in the US by indigenous people prior to the arrival of Europeans whereas the Brits had to go and fuck up another whole country to culturally assimilate their cuisine.

lol what?

What's so tough about it: Tortillas, beans, chiles, etc. were eaten by native Americans long before the arrival of white people to what is now the US and are thus an indigenous cuisine. Curries were not eaten in the UK prior to being imported from India during the days of the Raj. That wasn't so tough, was it?
