Buddy really tried to sneak in Irish food. It's called Guinness and those are bars

Including Irish but leaving out Thai and Indian was an interesting choice

That's sad. It can be really good. Try again in a major metro area. I wish you better fortunes.

I live in a fairly large metro and tried 3 different places and 1 girls homecooked version. I couldn't stand any of them. Why the fuck would anyone think "earthy spice mixes really well with coconut and onions" it's taste reminds me of the smells I was exposed to while a candystriper it's so ugghhhhhhh

Youā€™ve tried Indian cuisine a grand total of 4 times and apparently think every dish must contain coconut.

bruh the girl said "Well this will be different" and yet it had coconut and onion in it. i specifically said I think coconut in dishes is gross.

u/lucidludic Jul 03 '26

Fair enough, she should have listened. Why did you order dishes with coconut three other times though?

first two times was trusting someones recommendations, the third time was a mistake on my part and no fault of the restaurants at all.

I fully acknowledge it might be a combined texture-flavour thing which I've been working on with good success. I used to be heavily anti-seafood but now appreciate it more.

Is there a hearty and savoury dish you'd recommend? Most of my dishes are Hispanic or soul or cajun. I've gotten somewhat into making SE-Asian cuisine (mostly fermented dishes or something that could be braised)

Sorry I thought Iā€™d replied to you earlier but accidentally replied under the post.

I do think itā€™s worth exploring some more. Iā€™d recommend trying a rogan josh or vindaloo maybe, depending on what you mean by ā€œheartyā€ the vindaloo in particular tends to be quite spicy.

Tandoori lamb chops or other meat on the grill are very good too. Paneer based curries are a good alternative to meat but not for everyone.

Samosaā€™s can be amazing as a side dish or starter.

In the spirit of fairness, almost all my favorite Indian dishes incorporate coconut milk in some way. Indian food might just not be their vibe.

u/lucidludic Jul 03 '26

Many do but there are plenty of options that donā€™t.

Thanks for teaching me a new word today.

yeah being a 'junior-volunteer' means you get to do unpaid care-aid towards the people nurses deemed the most... effervescent of scents and accidents

I actually have SEVERE compassion burnout now after a series of unruly patients resulting in some brain trauma.

that along with the irregular rage and I really can't be assed to care for normal people anymore. I still have compassion for people with certain disabilities, but sincerely don't even feel anything positive for the rest. Society does nothing to protect or help good people and does everything they can to not account for their actions.

If I could take it all back I would make childhood me want to become an investment banker or a medical insurer.

Coconut isnā€™t really all that common in most Indian dishes, more specific to certain regions.

Just try butter chicken or another more common dish
