    I mean, isn’t all Indian food overspiced? You could probably make curry out of just about any meat or meat substitute and it will still taste like spices.

    American food has a higher focus on meat flavor, which is why so many meat alternatives try to imitate meat. You can buy vegan Indian or Chinese food here that tastes decent, but it’s not a steak.

      Only if you’re British. But if you’re British then using basic salt and pepper is sometimes considered “over spiced”.

      Imagine conquering the world for spices and then you don’t use them in your own cuisine.

      Nope. So much nope that I’m curious if maybe you understand over spiced to mean something different.

      Depends which part of India you mean. Telegu food is often very spicy. Bengali and Gujarati food is actually mostly sweet. Himalayan food is 99% bland and 1% volcano hot.
