American foodie's reaction to eating Indian food for the first time

American foodie's reaction to eating Indian food for the first time

This is by far a subtle approach to Indian cuisine.

We have seen many people grow their following online by just eating food. The Mukbang trend really hit the internet with a bang. 

And in saying that, foodies trying out different cuisines for the first time is definitely something that has done well in the past. 

This time it was an American foodie trying out Indian food for the first time. 

Foodie, Luke Foods, shares his personal review as he tries butter chicken, garlic naan, and gulab jamun. 

With the amount of hate and trolling that goes on online these days, we have to admit that there was a part of us that was a bit nervous to see this young man's review. 

Especially because we feel like we have a special relationship with Indian cuisine. 

But after watching his food review, we were pleasantly surprised. 

Watch him review the three-course meal he ordered from a local Indian restaurant in his town, Kentucky, USA.

The "my taste buds have been violated, that should be a crime..." part made our hearts warm. 

Food is so much a part of our heritage, our culture, and who we are as a nation, so it surely can be nerve-wracking when sharing it with people for the first time. 

Because it can be difficult to take criticism about something so close to our hearts.

After hearing this review, we definitely feel honoured to be associated with the province that serves the best Indian food (in our opinion) in South Africa.
