And now, as a coda to this insane discussion about food, I will add one more point. It is revealing when people say "You will love it if you have enough of the right kind of it." That's like an American saying "if you eat enough American food you'll learn how great it is." /1
This would drive Michelin chefs, foodies, and people from cultures around the word into a paroxysm of fury. Because it *is* dumb to think that the best clam chowder or chili dogs will somehow make you more sophisticated and educate your palate. If you don't like it, you don't. /2
But 24 hours of outrage about whether it's racist to tease Americans about whether they *really* like Indian food from one comment in response to a call for controversial food takes is about as crazy as Twitter gets.

Also, Led Zeppelin still sucks.
