The Japanese or Chinese ... well, they're even more unadventurous than the Indians.
Thais and Vietnamese (and particularly, Malays, Indonesians and Singaporeans) will eat anything from anywhere - their countries are melting pots, and there's lots of foods that filter back and forth between borders. Northern Vietnamese food and southern thai food are very similar, and thai food is reasonably close enough to Indian (rice based, "familiar" spices just lots more of them - several dozen varieties of chillies rather than just green and red, ginger, dried ginger, onions, garlic, etc etc) Malay cuisine too - it has elements of several (Indian, Chinese, muslim, brit ..) cuisine. And anybody at all with a taste for kababs will love satay. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sriram Karra Sent: Wednesday, 3 June 2009 9:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [silk] Indian foodies On Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 6:37 AM, Charles Haynes <[email protected]>wrote: I was astonished to discover just *how* unadventurous your average Indian > was with respect to trying new and different food. In your experience how do people from other oriental cultures / countries of a similar economic condition fare?
