As you can see on this poster, people from India adore hot spices (see the full cupboard) and way overuse them in their meals! Made a mistake way back in 1990 by ordering a #vegetarian meal on a flight Air India. I had better kept the "normal" standard European meal without the hot spices, and eat the vegetarian bits of it! Maybe today the options for special meals have broadened and it is possible to order a "normal" vegetarian meal adapted to European taste buds.
