With the power of spices... I lived in an apartment with Indians as neighbours 2 floors beneath.

There wasn't a single day when you couldn't smell all spices combined when you walked past their apartment. It was ... an interesting smell...๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ I don't believe they could smell/taste the original flavours of their food

Nice neighbours though

the original flavor of their food?

what is that? bland?

[โ€“] pascal@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah, tell him.

I like that all my different vegetables taste like cinnamon and curry.

I see the seasoning police has arrived. It's funny and also sad that you think normal food flavors are "bland." Better drown everything in Lawry's seasoned salt and Dr Buttblast.

Probably. The spices must have been worth more than the actual food though (:

I used to work with a guy from Pakistan, my car would smell of curry for a week after a couple days of driving about with him. I could tell that he'd been back to his hotel room by the lingering smell in the hallway.

Yeah, some foods are like that - my ex-father-in-law had a similar thing with garlic. You could tell he had it for a couple of days

Nice if you like Indian food.

The smell of all the spices is too much for me at times but I am super sensitive to smells. Gives me headaches.
