When a foreigner makes a peculiar remark about our country, especially the cuisine, Indians are bound to get irked. A similar situation occurred recently when Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gene Weingarten commented on Indian food, which created a stir on the internet and it did not go quite well with the audience. Actor-producer Mindy Kaling and model-television host Padma Lakshmi slammed the post that said, 'Indian cuisine only includes one spice'. The article written by the columnist speaks about a lot of issues including how Indian food is wholly 'based on one herb'. © iStock © Instagram/Padma Lakshmi Even Meena Harris, the niece of Vice President Kamala Harris, said in a Tweet, "Apropos of absolutely nothing name your ONE favorite Indian spice. I’ll go first: asafoetida." Apropos of absolutely nothing name your ONE favorite Indian spice. I’ll go first: asafoetida. — Meena Harris (@meena) August 23, 2021I love fenugreek! There are so many spices in this wonderful cuisine! — Mindy Kaling (@mindykaling) August 23, 2021 Mindy Kaling, too expressed her displeasure and wrote, "I love fenugreek! There are so many spices in this wonderful cuisine!" She also tweeted, "You don’t like a cuisine? Fine. But it’s so weird to feel defiantly proud of not liking a cuisine. You can quietly not like something too." Top Chef mentor Padma Lakshmi couldn't hold back and replied in the series of tweets, "What in the white nonsense is this?" She also mentioned, "Is this really the type of colonizer 'hot take' the @washingtonpost wants to publish in 2021- sardonically characterizing curry as 'one spice' and that all of India's cuisine is based on it?" What in the white nonsense™️ is this? pic.twitter.com/ciPed2v5EK — Padma Lakshmi (@PadmaLakshmi) August 23, 2021 She took to Instagram and shared the screenshot of the article. It read, "Indian food. The Indian subcontinent has vastly enriched the world, giving us chess, buttons, the mathematical concept of zero, shampoo, modern-day nonviolent political resistance, Chutes and Ladders, the Fibonacci sequence, rock candy, cataract surgery, cashmere, USB ports ... and the only ethnic cuisine in the world insanely based entirely on one spice. If you like Indian curries, yay, you like Indian food! If you think Indian curries taste like something that could knock a vulture off a meat wagon, you do not like Indian food." The Washington Post has added a correction tonight to the top of the @geneweingarten column pic.twitter.com/p4yM7ar9Wk — Katie Robertson (@katie_robertson) August 24, 2021 However, it has now been modified and reads, "...rock candy, cataract surgery, cashmere, USB ports ... and curry. If you like Indian curries, yay, you like one of India’s most popular class of dishes! If you think Indian curries taste like something that could knock a vulture off a meat wagon, you do not like a lot of Indian food." View this post on Instagram As she shared the former article, Padma wrote, "There is truly no need for something like this to be published in 2021 (or ever). It’s racist and lazy at best. My issue is not this person’s performative contrarianism (although it is tedious) or that he didn’t enjoy the Indian cuisines he’s tasted." Post this incident, the journalist took to Twitter and spoke about his visit to an Indian restaurant. He also said that the food was made beautifully, but it was swimming with herbs and spices. He also said, "I take nothing back." Padma Lakshmi finally replied and said, "On behalf of 1.3 billion people, kindly f*** off." Here's how furious people are on Twitter with his remark on Indian food. .@geneweingarten thinks Indian food is terrible because it is entirely based on one spice. Which is basically the opposite of the truth. pic.twitter.com/sumaGpOBl4 — Anand Giridharadas @ The.Ink (@AnandWrites) August 23, 2021Ah yes. That's why the masala dabba was invented: to hold that one spice in multiple containers. pic.twitter.com/tVPNjGfTed — Edward Anderson (@edanderson101) August 23, 2021I pride myself on my Pakistani cooking. I also love South Indian, and fusion dishes. That you got paid to write this tripe, and boldly spew your racism is deplorable. May your rice be clumpy, roti dry, your chilies unforgivable, your chai cold, and your papadams soft. — Shireen Ahmed- CanWNT Stan (@_shireenahmed_) August 23, 2021who the **** is @geneweingarten, how the **** is he allowed to speak on food when his palate is so numb he thinks CURRIES are a single spice dish & why the **** is WaPo publishing straight up National Front talking points disguised as food opinions? https://t.co/PrMNfeNroM — Shiv Ramdas (@nameshiv) August 23, 2021You are a absolute idiot @geneweingarten. We even put 8 spices in our omelets. https://t.co/DD83aqkJZF — rabia O'chaudry (@rabiasquared) August 23, 2021No one cares that you don't like it. It's the ignorance of saying it's "one spice" and assuming all Indian food is "curry" that rubbed people the wrong way. A diverse country filled with so many different kinds of food cannot be summarized by a colonizer's word like curry! — LaVidaLopa (@LaVidaLopa) August 23, 2021This is one portion of my spice rack. And I cook cuisines of just 2 Indian states. "One spice"? pic.twitter.com/e2r2abfAKX — TheBrook (@Southern_Brook) August 23, 2021Dude just write a glowing review of your favorite dish from Applebee's for your hometown newspaper and save us all the drama — Asha Rangappa (@AshaRangappa_) August 23, 2021What is it with white guys with elite media jobs thinking everyone wants to read their dumb, very poorly informed rants about how much they dislike all Indian food? It is not cute. It is racist. I just unfollowed him. https://t.co/5gTnZ0C967 — Arlen Parsa (@arlenparsa) August 23, 2021 View the full article
