Lol, I'm Indian, I am very well familiar with spices and "foreign" (by which you likely mean non-Western) foods in general. My point is that while spices are good, they are not mindblowingly good, like some drug. It's probably more a factor of me eating spices all my life and thinking that's normal, rather than eating bland food instead.

Your "charitable" ad-hominem is instead "severely lacking" in substance.
