This just reads like ragebait haha. I have had good Indian food and bad Indian food, I've had good pasta and bad pasta. If you think that every other cuisine but British is somehow always amazing and always better than British food then I don't know what to tell you. Go to a tourist trap in Italy and you will have trash that doesn't compare to even a British Italian chain. Buy panipuri from the wrong guy in India and not only will you shit yourself violently but it will taste like a spicy watery mess.

The only reason I can fathom why anybody would talk so much nonsense is for ragebait purposes. Going from "your cuisine isn't as good as India's" to "your food is garbage" is a pretty steep slope.

It is rage bait. BUT, most times when I have bad food it's better than bad British food. That's also putting aside the fact that british food is bad a lot more frequently (almost always I would say) than other foods.

I'm glad that you have such excellent food even when it's bad. That you somehow find yourself purveying everything that Britain has to offer - hating it - and also so much of other cuisines for comparison. Omniscient taste buds, I would wager.
