Indian food is the best on earth! In addition to what trabpukcip said Indian food smells a lot more strongly than the average american garbage, so if you're heating up indian food at work the whole place knows what you're having for lunch. Thats a big part of what gets joked about.

Any time I used to bring anything with so much as a waft of cumin for lunch, the bitchy conservative office manager would complain.
I now happily WFH.

Dunno what youβre talking about there champ
It's so common people don't even see it. But it's the same thing as Mexican food. The perception is it is spicy and will give you diarrhea.
I firmly believe this is because American people in general don't understand what spices are. Spiced does not mean spicy hot. Spiced is flavourful and they just can't have that. I have dined with Americans that truly believe black pepper is too spicy. We had a Starbucks chai which is absolutely terrible, and they've said "it's too spicy"... What? Their brains equate flavour to spicy heat to bad.
It's stupidly infuriating.
Spiced does not mean spicy hot.
Yea but like... it's way hotter than most other American food by default.

As an American, I too would like to know this.
Worldwide? I don't think so. Idk I tried Indian food before it was good but I prefer Peruvian food.
Huh? I don't watch a bunch of TV but I've never heard that.
