Kim Kardashian Offends Indians By Stating Their Food Such As Curry Is Disgusting

She Doesn't Know What She Is Missing

          

The Kardashians

Xenophobic Kim Kardashian has apologized to Indians for stating she does not like curry. Kim and her sister Kendall publicly referred to Indian food as "so disgusting." Many took offense and slammed the Kardashians online. Indian food is quite good and their statements were mean. You need to open up your minds.

Recently, my aunt in England introduced me to an Indian dish that was new to me. She bought "samosas" which is seasoned ground meat and veg in pastry and they were a delicious meal with a nice side salad. I initially thought my aunt had said "mimosas" and automatically thought, "no, I don't like to drink" (though, I think I must be a secret Jew, because the only wine that didn't test my gag reflexes was Manischewitz, because it's sweet, but still, the most I can do is taste a sip of any alcohol before I start feeling unwell/nauseous, so I try to avoid everything).    

But back to the curry. I've always loved curry, as it is one of Jamaica's national dishes (curry chicken or alternatively curry mutton). A funny, yet sad story about that. When I was about 5, my mom bought a goat that unsuspecting me thought was a pet. We lived in a suburban area, but we had a huge backyard, which gave me the chance to pet the cute animal.

For days I played with the goat, not realizing what was really going on. No one bothered to tell me the goat was actually for my birthday dinner and our neighbor, who knew about being a butcher and working with meat in that realm, killed the goat. I woke up one day to see the goat dead. I was horrified. 

As a result, for many years I would not eat goat/mutton (but it has nothing to do with curry, which is very good for you). Really, it's just in the last few years that I've had curry mutton a few times, but I've always liked curry chicken. I never let my mom forget that incident and anytime anyone offers us goat/mutton for dinner, I tell that story and she, being the kind, height challenged person she is, laughs at me. 

On a lighter note, here's another story about Caribbeans and meat. One of my Jamaican friends, who loves pork, was telling me about her Cuban co-workers that invited her to dinner. He was making roast pork and bought a whole pig. She said he turned roasting into a science. She said he had the barbeque area cordoned off like a crime scene with plastic tape that no one was to enter but him, while he intently roasted the pork. 

She said if anyone in his family tried to come up to him and ask a question while he was working on the barbeque, breaking his concentration, he would state in a slightly annoyed manner, "Yessss, may I help you!" (LOL). She said it was the best pork she'd ever tasted in her life, summing it up as, "Cubans don't joke when it comes to the pork!"
