I like how he can list all these neat little factoids about India but fail to even understand what the word Curry even means. This doesn't really even account for the Anglo interpretation of what this word has become or even the history of what even is a "curry." Just smooth brain shit all around, well done Gene 👍 https://twitter.com/AnandWrites/status/1429802465055096842

    I like indian food quite a bit, but haven't found a way to really ensure it doesn't have Cardamom in it (deathly allergic to that of all specific things), so I don't eat it at all unless I cook it myself, which is sad, as I don't think I'm very good of cooking it. Seems like cardamom is in a ton of spice blends (indian an otherwise), often without specifying what's in the blend. Don't have a point, just want to complain, cause shit sucks.

        Didn't know there was a difference, honestly. May test it at some point. I did make some curry power and garam masala myself, just skipping cardamom, but if I can pick up some black cardamom cheap next time I go shopping, I may try a small piece and see if I react.

        Its in a decent amount of thai food too, along with fish/shrimp paste, which is also an allergy, but at least I can find some thai curry that's safe for me.
