I find the texture of shrimp unpleasant and there’s a spice used in Ethiopian cuisine that tastes rancid to me, but otherwise, I happen to enjoy most types of food… and can at least tolerate the few things I dislike.

So it never occurred to me that a person might avoid an entire geographical destination and/or culture simply because they don’t care for the cuisine.

And yet, people claiming they dislike Indian food is BY FAR the number one reason I hear people say they have no desire to go to India.

I found this shocking, even as I suspected that many folks I talked to were being closed minded and had probably never given Indian food the fair chance it deserves.

However.

Hear me when I say that if someone truly hates Indian food —the flavor profile and the pervasive spices they use — then I would not waste too much time trying to convince that person they could still have a good time in India, because it is quite likely they could not.

At the very least, you’d have to listen to them complain constantly 😂… and the preposterous task of trying to travel India whilst also avoiding Indian food sounds both exhausting and impossible.

In fact, personally, I think I’d rather go to India by myself than go with a hater who bitched incessantly about the spicy food!! 😝
