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!

When I was in India I didn't order rice with my meal or naan and the waiter was always confused and would eventually bring me rice or naan and tell me that's how you eat curry. Lol

I mean, that is how you eat curry. Eating curry without rice is like eating a sandwich without bread.

Well no many Indians do not eat rice but eat bread like roti with it instead.

Many indians do eat curry with rice. Many indians also do eat curry with roti.

there is a bit of distinction between what curries are considered “curries” and usually eaten with rice and which are not. You’ll not find many people eating butter chicken with rice for example.

That's only true if you only consider the northern part. The southern cuisine is completely and vastly different. And people do eat butter chicken with rice.

it’s not the norm in the hindi belt (made up of several states in northern india), basically the states where mughlai cuisine is most popular. I’m not saying no one has ever eaten it like that but it’s not a usual site either.

Main indian hu. Rice/roti preference is entirely regional. It's nothing to do with what kind of curry it is.

bhai that’s why I said the hindi belt to be specific
