‘You should eat boiled potatoes’: People outraged when foreign YouTuber calls Indian food trashy

On social media, people openly express their opinions on anything, good or bad. Now, if anyone gets hurt due to this, a debate breaks out online with social media users divided on the issue. Recently, an Australian YouTuber faced similar debates and criticisms for his posts on Twitter.

It all started when a guy named Jeff, also known as @_FlipMan, posted a photo of an Indian food plate on Instagram. He captioned it: “Indian food is the best in the whole world.” Fight me on this if you want.

Citing Jeff’s post, Dr. Sydney Watson, who goes by the handle @SydneyLWatson, wrote: “No, that’s not the case at all.” In the next post, he wrote: “If you have to add dirty spices to your food to make it edible, then your food isn’t good.”

On this post by Sydney, not only Indians but also foreigners attacked him, saying we don’t agree with your point of view. People laughed at him a lot in the comments. Someone wrote: “Sidney has no taste buds in her mouth, so don’t blame her.” One of them wrote: “Who cares? You are only fit to eat boiled potatoes, we eat our delicacies. One user wrote: “In India, you get 5000 dishes, while in western countries you hardly get 10.”

“These ‘dirty spices’ have given the world so many delicious dishes,” one wrote. Another happily wrote that European countries used to fight to control the trade of these spices in India. One user said: “Indian cuisine is a celebration of culture, tradition and love. If you don’t like it, it’s your loss.
