Indian Food is praised worldwide and celebrated in countries like the UK and Germany. Americans, why do all your comedy shows rag on Indian food? (lemmy.ml)

My problem is with a specific, hyper common ingredient of Indian food: Cumin

I'm sorry, but garlic, onion, cloves, etc don't even come close to the clinging, pervasive staying power of cumin.

I don't like to smell what I cook or eat for days after the fact.

Could you post some examples of comedy shows making fun of indian food? Otherwise it sounds like you are using anecdata and then drawing an inaccurate and worthless generalization of a diverse genre of "comedy shows."
