why is south asian cuisine so OP

sure we have some fancy dishes here but when it comes to everyday sustenance then south asia is LEAGUES ahead of europe’s barbarism

@mia south and southeast asian food is truly the best in the world, india and thailand undefeated

@mia and now for my extremely controversial take - the best european cuisine (italian) is done better by italian americans and the second best european cuisine (spanish) is done better by mexicans

@anemone we’re growing many more options in europe as well now, yet it hardly affected our own cuisine

i think tradition should be allowed to evolve over time and it’s sad that since modern times we’re instead associating the term with preservation and conservatism

if our ancestors had treated their culture the way we do now, central europe would either have been colonized out of existence or exist as a bunch of savage germanic tribes

@vriska honestly that’s not even controversial in my opinion. ANY culture gets better if you stop treating it like a museum of history

@georgia @mia east asian is really good too but I like indian more than I like chinese or japanese and i honestly have never had korean food (because all of it is meat)

@mia certain kinds of europeans get very very upset when you point out that italian american cuisine is better than italian

@vriska italian cuisine is one of the world’s favorites and that’s why it has evolved everywhere but italy

“authentic” generally just means “boring”
