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)

Do they? I rarely see jokes about it and if I do see jokes they are spicy diarrhea related which I will admit is odd because Americanized Indian food is not spicy at all.

exactly the spicey diarrhea jokes, as well as direct comparisons to vomit. American Dad and Family Guy writers spring to mind.

So 2 cartoons that are by the same people. So basically a single source.

Indian food is probably given less shit in the states than most other foods. Mainly just the smell it leaves permeating through everything.

British food is tasteless trash. Mexican food makes you shit your pants. Chinese food is eating cats and dogs. Thai will burn your butthole to death. German food is angry and has sauerkraut. Canada just has syrup on everything. Japan is fish they won't cook. Irish is all potatoes and sheep belly. Indian is stinky and smells forever.
Americans deep fry everything.

We're an equal opportunity country. We'll talk shit on everyone.

The German food stereotype is definitely that it's all sausage.
