Rant for today: east indians and curry

[Bouncer]

I do get the point, but be considerate and open windows so it doesn't permeate through the halls and other peoples places. We do that when we cook so it doesn't stay in the apartment.

But I don't get how the fuck smelly body odor scent would comfort someone. Makes me want to puke.

no excuse for the body oder. that should be law, you live here you follow our hygiene.

North Indian cooking tends to use more aromatic spices than South Indian cooking. There is no equivalent for garam masala in South Indian cooking. Regardless, if you do it right, you won't create any more smells than any other cooking. People tend to add way too much spices while cooking in the mistaken belief that it enhances flavor. Unfortunately, all it does is kill the intrinsic flavors of the ingredients and stinks up the joint. Cooking should be done with subtlety, not with a heavy hand.

not sure i agree with you bro. i have been to some award winning indian places in and around NYC, absolutely amazing food but very very strong in smell. you can smell it for a mile in a dense city.

The worst is, you smell like the food a few hours after you have eaten there. Even if you showered right after you ate, lol.

Garlic, onion, cumin, curry, etc.....all contain chemical compounds that remain active and are excreted through the skin in sweat.

It's not racist or ignorant it's just a scientific fact. People who eat large amounts of food with those compounds will smell like those compounds.

Yea i don't like the smell either, but honestly it shouldn't cause you to get this upset over it. the smell won't be there forever, it will pass in a day.

Curry lingers longer than most smells. Only reason i'm that upset.

[Timma]

All brown people smell, I thought that was common knowledge.

Good point

Could always be worse, you could have German neighbors cranking out the sauerkraut and limburger.

Well. You are right. But south indian cooking (I know this because ilnow some) have coconut oil and hing. That combination makes for unpleasent smells. As for the misconception that spices enhance flavor, I agree but even the most subtle masalas make for strong smells. South indians also eat a lot of fried food, like fish and grains. When you fry things with these spices it makes the smell worse. I have never liked south indian food, always north indian and punjabi (I am jatt :P).

I love curry and Indian food and I'm not brown. It's my favorite food.

Use this as motivation to become a homeowner; you will always have to deal with the noises and smells of others when you are in an apartment or condo.

[jack tors]

Indian food is pretty fucking good.
