My foreign food scale

Indian > English > Italian > Chinese

I couldn't really place American because while the food I've eaten there is brilliant, it's all usually in Chinese restaurants etc.

american food is hard to define unless you are referring to cheeseburgers, hot dogs and barbecue. All of which i love :)

my exposure to indian food is sadly limited, but since i am looking to improve my diet (20 lbs off this month is the goal) i may be eating a lot more.

im looking for a lot of chicken and fish recipes :)


the town i used to live in had an indian place, and i was sent there to pick up some takeout for the job i was working. i walked in, and all of the people working there talked and acted like apu from the simpsons, they even had a sign that said "thank you, come again"

Hmmm.... I long for a good vindaloo chicken, a samoussa or two...

Best Indian I've had was homemade though. What passes for curry in most places here is basically coconut milk with food coloring.

thats the nice thing about living in a city as multicultural as toronto ... if you want authentic - you've got it.

I'd say Paris and London are just as multicultural, and yet all the Indian food I've eaten here doesn't even compare to my friend's homemade curry (she's half Goan). Hmm... perhaps Toronto's Indian cuisine will have to be sampled in the future.

That's what I'm talking about, it terrible in the U.K, but back in Melbourne and Sydney it's fantastic. :confused: How hard can it be if you're Indian...

Indian food rules - love chicken vindaloo - spicy, garlic naan, etc. Surprised to see someone indicating the Indian food in the UK is no good - had it in London several years ago and it was top notch. It was a rather strange part of town, almost an industrial section, the surrounding buildings seemed like warehouses & factories- the restaurant wasn't trendy, the food was excellent...

Well after this thread was put up, and all my talk of curry, I got a craving for it so I went and got some. Chicken and Spinach curry, it was fucking delicious. Plus the curry is green, and green is my favorite color. So yeah anyways, I got a belly full of curry and I am happy. The only problem I have with indian food, is the fact that the indian deserts that they make are so sweet. I have a high tolerancy for spicey food, but if something is really sweet I can't eat it. Like mysore pak, which is what I tried today, god it was like pure sugar... I had to ask to get it wrapped up to be polite.

I only "discovered" Indian Food about a year ago so at the moment, I'm not quite ready for a vindaloo. I can have pretty much anything weaker but I'm not ready for a vindaloo yet.

Apparently Tikka Masala was invented in an English resturant when a man was trying to make gravy. But there are loads of other origin stories of it.
