Most vegans in the US do not eat food that mimics meat.
Most Western butt holes cannot handle Indian food that well. The couple times I went to Indian weddings, I was clamoring for anything that would not burn my butthole. The good combined with the ridiculous amount of alcohol made the toilets cry.
Try a fiber supplement. Or eating vegetables.
As a Canadian Caucasian I concur that we should all eat more vegetables.
The fiber is not the issue. I'm good on that. It was the spiciness that was the problem. I can handle a little bit of spice but there was pretty much no reprieve.
there are plenty of Indian recipes that's not spicy.
but also it's a good idea to just build a bit of spicy food tolerance.
The problem is when someone else is deciding how spicy to make it.
You need to focus on the creamy, typically lighter colored curries. Butter chicken, korma, things like that.
The anus has taste buds in it, so when it's spicy enough going down it can be spicy again coming out haha.
But why the fuck are there taste buds in there?
I don’t know, that’s a stereotype that may not be true. I mean, I’ll also make fun of my culture’s lack of spice and spice tolerance, but I’m the opposite data point. I love spicy food, prepare very spicy food for my kids, and on my one trip to India had at least the spice tolerance of my Indian co-workers. We’re not all white bread and mayonnaise
"spicy food" doesnt mean the same thing depending on cuisine. Different types of heat are used in different dishes.
I can eat mexican meals for days and have no issues, cholula and all.
Meanwhile mild indian is usually a treat that sets off a small bomb in my gut.
Also, people make fun of americans like we dont have fuckloads of hot sauce brands all over the place. We live next door to mexico, guys, we have plenty of spicy cuisine.
I'll have you know our British digestive systems can handle almost anything from over 60 years of Indian, Pakistani, Carribbean and Mexican food. When Taco Bell arrived on our shores it was bland disappointment compared to existing burrito outlets, especially given all the hype that it apparently puts an American in the toilet for hours :(
Thats from the meat quality, not the spicyness
Yeah there's a sad story about meat quality in the UK after a lot of morons initiated Brexit (goodbye EU food law)
Taco bell gives you the shits because its poorly cooked meat with a lot of beans, not because the food is good or spicy
