The creamy Butter Chicken, spicy tikka masala, the soft gulab jamun, and the heavenly Biriyani. You know life is treating you well when you have the right amount of foodgasm. Can't talk about anybody else, but food can definitely hit the right spots! Good food is all about the right amount of flavours. However, food has caused quite the controversial discussion on Twitter on US professor Tom Nichols comment on Indian food.

US professor and academic specialist on International Affairs, Tom Nichols, commented on Indian food after a Twitterati asked the people to make a controversial food comment. He replied to it with a comment stating that "Indian food is terrible and we pretend it isn't." REALLY? He also said that apart from Ethiopian and Indian food he is open to any other food choice.

This got the people on Twitter all riled up and here is how they reacted to the comment:

The thing that gets me here more than the stunted palate is the use of “we.” So, Indians in Tom’s world are also “pretending” that their cuisine is terrible? Or do they not exist in Tom’s sense of community? I think we know the answer. https://t.co/PDBYPZDm6c

This condition has a cure via the gastronomic brilliance that Indian food is which itself is vast,varying by geography,religion,region,language and even country. You have possibly never tasted such a spectrum of taste, aromas & spices in the US.Invite you to india to be our guest

I agree with Tom on many things. He is a wise man. But this is crazy. Tom, I will take you for Indian food when you’re in DC.
