I find that Hindus from India(new immigrants) tend to eat mostly veggies, while the ones born in the west eat whatever..... From this I would suspect that in India most Hindus don't eat meet, of course I could be wrong.

Elahi, either you shut yourself now and let people think you are stupid or continue to post and remove all doubts.
Obviously, you have no clue about India or Indians otherwise you wouldn't make comments like -
-Sikhs dont like to associate themselves with Indians.
-Sikh restaurants dont have the word INDIA in their name.
-There was a riot in India when Muslims ate beef (whatever that means :)).
-Most "Indian" restaurants are owned by Pakis or Sikhs.
-New Immigrants from India are veggies.
You are funny , that much I will tell you.
BTW, there is a sikh restaurant not far from where I live in SF Bay Area. You can see its name from far. It reads " INDIA PALACE", While on the subject another well known sikh-owned chain in the Bay Area is TASTE OF INDIA.

some1 ,
Just forgive his ignorance.This is what he was taught in his madarsah.
OK , tomarorw is eid and I don't give enough of a sh!te to spend my time arguing with you Indians
By the way next time you want to know what kind of sikhs live where I live, check out the name Ripudaman Singh Malik on google
Besides that,,,,, I don't care enough to post here again..
P.S - Fair & Balance - Send me to my madrassah over your Mandir any day, I am not an aplogetic muslim.
Back on track (kinda sorta).. y'know a lot of Korean restaurants headline as "Chinese cuisine" for all the dumb folks abroad who have never heard of Korea. Same thing with a lot of Pak restaurants. But just as Korean food is becoming more popular on its own so is Pak food. Don't worry about it.
All nationalism and patriotism aside, there is no such thing as a pakistani cuisine. pakistan did not exist until recently. When restaurenteers from pakistan call theirs Indian cuisine, they're noit wrong. They are serving Indian cusine their parents and g.parents taught them.

That's funny...I though Hindus stayed away from meats of all kinds...So where did the the 1001 dishes like Nihari, Biryani, Qourma, Qeema, Broast and not to mention the 1001 sweet meats come from? Don;t tell me India...I would be so disheartened...:(

Are you saying they came from Pakistan?
Don't tell me that - I would be so disheartened to learn Pakistan existed 500 yrs ago. :D:
OMG - I googled on ‘Ripudaman Singh Malik’ thinking that he has opened a Restaurant with name like ‘Khalistan Palace’ or ‘Punjab Palace’ but guess what I found, he is one of the now banned Babbar Khalsa terrorists who was involved in Kanishka Bombing. :hehe: .
So Mr. Elahi, Now we know that you live at the same place as those terrorist who blew up a a plane to kill 329 innocents. Some of the passengers were able to jump off the plance before it blew off but froze to death in the Atlantic Ocean.
Now tell us do you also go to the Trials and laugh at the victims’ families or you live in the jail with Mr. Malik ??

Still, the taste between an Indian restaurant food and Pakistani restaurant food is huge, you can easily distinguish between them. I wonder why? Even though Pakistan was part of the Indian map before 1947, but still Pakistan's food taste is very different from Indian's.
The only reason why Indian Cuisine will rule the world is because of its population explosion which already has crossed 1 billion mark and will continue to do so. Pakistan's population is 1/4 or 1/5 of Indian population so it won't have as big an impact.

Tasting different is not necessarily tasting better? This is a subjective matter decided by personal choice.
Most Indian restaurants out of India cater to a customer base that is looking for standard fare at standard prices. Try some upbeat/upmarket ones. But the best taste of India is in India I'm afraid.
What do you mean by Indian cuisine ruling the world because of population explosion? Italian cuisine is the most popular in the US, and how big is Italy?
A fast-food owner in the southern Indian city of Madras known for his delicious preparation of biryani (or flavoured rice) has a new claim to fame: he cooked for deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein

What is Pakistani food? Pakistani food is Sindhi, Panjabi, Baloch, Kashmiri and Pashto.
Pakistan came into being just 55 years ago but its provinces have their own age old history and culture.

Thats why I didn't say that Pakistani foods taste better, because that would be "Pakistani" opinion while an Indian will say Indian food is better.

Because I don't think that "Indian" food taste is as great to top all other foods, otherwise it would have been on top already. So "number" factor would be a big factor to bring "Indian" food on top. Unless new drastically tasty items/dishes are invented, "number" factor will dominate.

Same is true for all countries foods. For example "Indian cuisine" can be broken into many many areas. That "Masala Dosa" is a south Indian item (I think), does not necessarily mean that it was all over India all the time (an all India item).

Pakistan's culture is a mixture of all these cultures, It is what I was trying to get across. My post was aimed towards those people who think that Pakistan doesn't have its own unique culture.
you guys and dolls from pakistan usually let your belly rule your brain but for some reason on this one topic you're trying to get the brain overwhelm the belly. Just let it be - this is about cuisine and let your bellies rule (and roll in some cases I'd venture). Le bon te rulez!
even bush wouldn't hold you unpatriotic if you admit there was no pakistan until very recently and so pakistani cuisine, if there is one such, should still be in a very evolutionary stage.
Will Indian cuisine rule the world? Guess so some day. Whether it does or not, for us Indians (I'll include pakistnis if you want) and rest of the world , let there be peace and plenty this thanksgiving with dosas & vadas from the South, Dhoklas from the West, jalebi and roshgola from the Eest, Pilaf from the North. AlooParantha and curds from Punjab, Dal Makhani and Bhndi Masal from the center. And for desert (more desert) let there be plenty of khulfi and halwai from Karachi and to top it all, let there be thinly sliced ripe Alfonos and a pakistani mango (don't know name) that I once had that still lingers!
One more thing about this ‘RIPUDAMAN SINGH’. His name couldn’t be more INDIAN. ‘RIPUDAMAN’ is a Sanskrit Name made up of two Sanskrit Words - **RIPU **(Enemy) + DAMAN (Crush). I guess first thing he should have done is to change his name to RAPY DAMYEN SINGH MALIK
I wont be surprised if the name of his business starts with the ‘I’ word.
