Unpopular Opinions Thread

Indian food is the best asian food ...

Is this a trolling thread now, or still unpopular?

I love deer,rabbit,squirrel,elk,bison,turkey - the 3 sisters(corn,beans,squash) sweet potatoes,wild rice........

Never heard that before.
I know of the holy trinity (celery, peppers, onion) in cajun food (gumbo, jumbalaya, etouffee).

To me Indian food all tastes the same.  Some of it can be quite hot which I like.

I've tried eating Indian food on multiple occasions. Every one of those times has found me passing water for three days afterwards.

Is it unpopular to say I don’t consider that too much of a downside? I mean, assuming the three days is a bit of an overt statement.

Nashville hot chicken and barbecue also cause me gastrointestinal distress. But they are pretty good.

...
However, I will say that the opinion that it's the best Asian food is one I do not share. There aren't enough beef dishes

Exactly.

Is there really any difference? 

I'm still thinking about what my favorite Asian cuisine is.  I really like Indian food, but it's probably not Indian food.

My favorite single dish might be a Vietnamese pho, I crave that stuff.

Mine is either Indian or Vietnamese, primarily Banh Mi. That might be because I haven’t lived in a town with good Chinese food in what feels like forever.

Indian food?
There are several sorts... India is a big place.  Eastern Indian can be much like Chinese.  Southern Indian is what I think folks here think of when Indian food is mentioned. 

Mumbai is a place you best be careful... I effed up in a major way, there... I drank a glass of water at a swanky restaurant and paid dearly- case of "Mumbai shit pie" ensued and I made it worse when I took unisom instead of imodium ad...

That was a bad couple days.

The worse ever though was after risking it for a week during Ramadan and eating nothing but rotisserie I "think" goat sold at a roadside stand in the desert of Qatar.. it was the only place open selling any kind of food during the day and the only time I had to get out... I think "they" looked the other way and left it open for the workers from elsewhere who weren't Muslim.  That food was fine as can be, but when I made it to a Starbucks just before they closed one morning and got a chicken salad pita? Hell broke loose. 

It was pouring from both ends for two full days and I was forced to decide which I'd rather clean off floor... fortunately, the villa I was in had the bathrooms ceramic tiled from ceiling to floor with a drain in floor... and had what was intended for spraying your ass when finished "wand", which was the same thing as a kitchen retractable sprayer, hanging on the wall beside the toilet.  I went back in there with a bottle of dish soap which I slung everywhere and sprayed everything down the drain... I had a little Pakistani dude who cleaned for us, but I couldn't do that to him.  It was bad.  I've hated Starbucks everywhere since.

I’m basically the exact opposite.  I feel like I don’t have the time or energy to invest in anything new. I basically flip to something I know I like and watch that.

Same here.  At night before going to sleep the wife and I watch 2 episodes of one of sitcoms that we are rewatching.  We generally rotate betwen Friends, Seinfeld, Last Man Standing, Fraser, Cheers, etc. 

In the evening we may be binge watching, Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, Sopranoes, Justified and others

You know you are going to like them and rewatching is just as good as watching the first time

We had Indian for lunch yesterday and I was pondering this point.  We both really like Asian cuisine, a lot, there isn't one we don't like.  Really good Chinese is really good, to me, a fair bit of it is just "sort of OK good" to me, but some is superb.  Japanese, sign me up.  Korean?  Bibimbop del sol, yup.  Vietnamese?  Yup.  Phillipine?  Yup.  Malaysian?  What I've had was really good.  Thai?  All day.

Globally, I'm all over Mex, south American, Tex Mex, Frrench, Italian ... the kinds I don't care for is a shorter list.  We have two excellent Indian places near us so that is a factor, and to me, it all tastes quite different from each other and is superb.  We get something called thali sag often for lunch and it comes with five very different dishes and naan (which to me is not the greatest).
