    "the term has long been misused by foreigners to describe any dish made on the Asian subcontinent."

    No, it's been long misused by ignorant people who can't be arsed to learn about another cultures food.

    Lumping us all in that category is offensive in itself.

    WTF is a "food influencer" other than someone trying to generate clicks to get revenue

    It's all about branding.

    Some people call me the village drunk but I prefer the term Beverage Integrator

    Influencer: self-obsessed, immature half-wit who desperately craves attention and so spouts attention-grabbing ‘opinions’ which attract other half-wits who think they are facts.

    OK I’ve stopped it.

    Unfortunately, you’re sitting right at the top, swaying all over the place and there’s a storm coming. Can’t get it started again either.

    Feels a bit OTT and accusational.

    Everyone has different interests. What to you might be discovering and learning about different food cultures might be to someone else being able to tell you the history of motorsport or train spotting globally. It's hardly being ignorant to refer to something as a curry if that's all you've experienced, is it? I've met some truly interesting, respectful, and fascinating people who struggle to look beyond their own county. I wouldn't label them ignorant, it's just something they're not interested in.

    That feels like an excellent metaphor for some of the posts I get involved in on this website!

    Ah well, probably just the mood I'm in today.

    If it comes across as an accusation, then so be it.

    I just think if you're going to eat something you should do the work and find out about what it is you're eating.

    What did news organisations use to do before social media came along.

    Feels to me like half the 'news' nowadays is trawling through social media and finding an opinion that is divisive enough to envoke strong reactions and turning it into an article to generate clicks.

    Presumably before social media they didn't send reporters round local pubs and supermarkets to find opinions to print - so what used to fill the news? Or have we just got more 'news' now than we used to?

    I did find out. That's what made me buy it, because it said "curry" on the box
    I wanted curry
    It was a box which said curry
    So I bought it and ate it.
    It was curry

    Don't get me started on the black pudding though

    But who's not doing that? You've made a massive assumption in a post complaining about assumptions. No? If these 'ignorant' people are just eating standard curries from standard Indian Restaurants, where's the ignorance?

    Nothing like an online overgeneralisation essentially telling a whole wave of people they're thick.
