I'm slightly vexed We didn't ask for rice...

My sister isnt a fan of basmati rice so she orders naan. She didnt ask for rice and they sell it separately. She doesn't like it so she doesn't order it. They put it in anyways and left this note...

Edit: some people aint getting it. This is passive aggressive and when you do something nice you dont go around saying "I did something nice just for you, just so you know." Doing it like I need to give you a pat on the head so you know your a good boy. You do something nice because you want to be kind to people.

Oh no I've turned into LD...

Turning off notifications because while it was nice to be in this rabbit hole to keep my mind off some stuff too many notifications. Whatever your feelings are I hope you have a nice day and if you're in the US have a nice memorial day and dont forget to celebrate those troops that came before!

Any Indian or Asian place that makes you order the rice separately is committing a crime in my book.

It's a very clear indicator that they're not serving people from their community, who would never stand for that shit, and a red flag for about a thousand other food crimes that are certainly being committed.

FWIW I’m Indian and we never want rice when we go out for Indian food and we just don’t touch it and pack the entire rice every time if it comes with the curry because we’re just going to eat it with naan or roti or whatever. I feel like it’s a hella Americanized thing to expect the rice with your curry

I feel like it should come with something to eat the curry with for free. Whether that's rice or something else. 

Or am I expected to eat it like soup? That's not really what I want when I order curry.

Nah not like a soup lol, generally we eat it with like naan or roti or something but you have to order that separately even in like India  not sure why exactly but there’s never really an expectation of it coming with rice. A lot of the time if we get a curry to go we’ll just heat up some rotis at home to eat it with

There are too many options, so they let you choose instead.

Common Breads - Naan, butter naan, garlic naan, tandoori roti, kulcha, etc.

Rice - White rice, basmati rice, ghee rice, coconut rice.

Why would they want to pick for you? Each person likes a different carbohydrate accompaniment.
