US professor calls Indian food terrible, Twitter disagrees
We have seen a plethora of terms being associated with our beloved food from the subcontinent, ranging from spicy, extravagant to cumbersome. But when a certain Twitter user called Indian food "terrible" and said that people only "pretend" to like it, a majority of users on the micro-blogging website opened a riot against him. Here's what went down.
It all kicked off after a "controversial food opinions" post
It all started when a Twitter user, who goes by the name Jon Becker, put up a post, inviting "controversial food opinions." Subsequently, fellow users came up with a variety of personal opinions regarding food choices, but it was the comment from a US-based professor, that caught all the (negative) attention. "Indian food is terrible and we pretend it isn't," Tom Nichols wrote.

Naturally, fellow netizens were left unimpressed
Naturally, the comment from Nichols, a noted author on Russia, war, nukes, and of "The Death of Expertise", left fellow netizens unimpressed. In fact, users from all corners of the world found Nichols' tweet 'tasteless' and went into a frenzy, teaching him why Indian food is actually spectacular. Although Nichols did garner some support, it was little, compared to the flak.
