Two years ago, Tom Nichols, a professor and author from the US had reportedly termed Indian food "terrible." It created quite a stir.?
Obviously, many people criticized his controversial opinion and made fun of him for saying so. Some, including former United States attorney Preet Bharara offered to take him to an Indian restaurant also. That happened quite recently.?
Now after his visit to the Indian restaurant Tom has become viral once again on Twitter. But this time it is for all the right reasons. The author tried a lot of Indian food including mutton, fried ricotta, spicy shrimp, lamb chops, butter chicken, and biryani.?
Turns out, he totally loved the biryani. (We're not even surprised). He talked to USA Today and described how he couldn't get over the lamb biryani he ate.?
He told USA Today, "A bowl of lamb biryani appeared in front of me. I looked at it ¨C as I had at everything ¨C with a bit of trepidation. But I dug in. Fragrant, with lamb I could cut with a fork. I was entranced. I had found an Indian dish, after years, that I loved. I polished it off."?
He described how it he ate more Indian food in one sitting then he had in his entire life and that he found it delightful.?
Moreover, Tom finally admitted that his opinion has changed after trying the lamb biryani and he's happy about it.?
People of the internet were happy to see this change in opinion.?
?This is what happens when you have an open mind.?
