A California vlogger cooked up an Indian food controversy with a call to cancel the word “curry” – blaming its widespread usage on British colonialism.

A viral April Instagram post from Chaheti Bansal on her Rooted in Spice page sparked a debate over the word’s usage to describe dishes of different tastes from various regions of South Asia and has been widely recirculated in recent media reports.

“I’m not even gonna bother with the recipe in this voiceover cause I have more important things to discuss like canceling the word ‘curry,’ ” she says in the post, accompanying a video of her cooking.

Chicken Tikka Masala has been a favorite british dish since it was first created in Scotland. Legal migrants from asian countries brought their own recipies.

Now if the woman wants to cancel ‘colonialists’ from eating ‘foreign’ foods, maybe she can turn in her jeans (US-Jewish) and stop wearing colonial clothes and using colonial technology

I can just imagine the thrill that goes through these simpletons when they realize they’ve thought of something brand new to be offended by

Few things are as authentically British as the Queen, the Union Jack, the Buckingham Palace guards and a plate of sizzling chicken tikka masala.

The man who invented blue jeans, Levi Strauss was a German Jewish emigre. The fabric he used was originally French. The fabric denim was from “Serge De Nimes”, or a type of cotton serge fabric as made in Nimes, France. This is the basic story of America. Contributions from many cultures making new things. Nobody is being repressed by using the word “curry”. The only repression is in this idiots mind.

Curry is one of the most popular take-out foods in the UK. Take away their curry, and there will be trouble.

Obviously this nutcase doesn’t want to “curry” favor/flavor with many of her readers.

Many professional racing horses, when contacted by moi for any comments on the attack on the world “curry”, said, “Curry, comb, brush, mush, slush, etc. Just do my hair. We like it. And as for t his Vlogger, she can kiss our collective horses asses”.

What this country needs is a National Day of Grievances. Meet in the streets. Tell it just like it is. Scream, yell,pffffft people. Until the sun goes down.
Then gather up the lawn chairs and start back up the driveway. In complete silence.and with no eye contact for another year.
Good therapy to get it all off your chest

Why bother to debate, counter point, reason or even pay attention to this loon who clearly is deranged and has nothing better to do.

Cue up the bunny with a pancake on his head.

Isn't that what Festivus is for?
