India got 99 problems but food ain¡¯t one.
If you are a person who does not like Indian food (and Indian here includes different cuisines from places like Rajasthan, Kerala, Bengal, Assam, Punjab among others) then the judgement is on you. Being as diverse a country as India is, cuisine from different states serves to different palates and I would understand if someone comes to me and says they do not like specific dishes but if someone says ¡®Indian food is terrible¡¯, they sure deserve a kick in their ass.?

One person on Twitter did say that, and he did get virtually kicked in his ass, as one could.?
The beauty of Twitter is that one can share unpopular opinions too and find people who relate, however when Tom Nicholas shared his opinion of Indian food, no one came out in his support, he was actually blasted for it.?
This is what happened. A Twitter user Jon Becker tweeted, ¡®Please quote tweet this with your most controversial food opinion, I love controversial food opinions¡¯. Well that is exactly what people gave him- controversial opinions. Hundreds of comments started pouring in on the tweet with people sharing what they like and dislike.
?
One of these opinions was of Tom Nichols, a US professor and academic specialist on international affairs.?In his opinion, ¡®Indian food is terrible and we pretend it isn¡¯t¡¯. Not only did it offend the Indians but food lovers world wide because hey, it's simply a lie.
?
People armed themselves with knives and handis and attacked Tom left, right and centre, most of them pointing out the sheer diversity of Indian food. Here is what some people of Twitter felt about this comment.?

Well, what can I say, people are entitled to their own wrong opinions.?
