Indian food isn't all curry and other countries have curries too ......

Yay! I'm not alone! I don't like curry either!!!
Makes perfect sense.So glad I'm not alone with the curry thing.
Now I know for sure I don't like "Indian curry" dishes but from the way I understand it, Asian curry isn't the same. As another example of learning lots here, I bought a recommended jar of "Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce" from Trader Joe's. In my interest of keeping an open mind, I'll be using it soon, and I don't need to buy a bunch of spices I may never use again.
We should try to find you an easy Indian curry with only spices you like and already have to see if that's the problem.I'm not sure what is the spice in Indian Curry dishes that make me not like it but it's sure not for me!
Well, I love it. So much so that several years ago I bought a book called "50 Curry Recipes" and every Monday night, for the better part of the year, my wife and I would enjoy a different recipe from the book. They were all different. It was an interesting experiment and, although every recipe wasn't a success, we enjoyed our "Curry Night" for the most part.Yay! I'm not alone! I don't like curry either!!!

I find it odd that someone can say "I hate curry" after trying only one dish in one restaurant. It would be like saying "I hate Italian food" after having spaghetti once.
If I gained a pound for every "food" thought I had, I'd be in 500# of trouble right now.
DC does inspire me to cook outside my comfort zone sometimes. It has me trying things I've never heard about before. After a post of CWS's I thought I would try methi, the young greens from the fenugreek plant. No luck today at the Mediterranean market, but I'll keep looking.
I do find, though, that like you puffin3, reading a post gets me busy making something that it got me thinking about, even if it's a stretch from the original food. In the end, if it turns out right and you enjoy it, it's all good.
If you had read carefully you would see I never once said the word hate, and I tried several dishes in that restaurant yesterday, in addition to having tried several examples of Indian Curries in the UK. If you find that odd, I don't know what to say. Now if we're talking about brussel sprouts I'll use the word hate.

Same here, but it's just turned into another food bashing thread, a more and more common theme here on DC.I thought this thread is about Inspiration.
Ok. Fair enough. I'm glad you at least tried several dishes. One of our favorite Indian dishes isn't a curry at all, but a rice dish called Biryani. It comes in all varieties - chicken, lamb, and I've even had one made from pork with hard boiled eggs. There's a nice yogurt sauce that can be spooned over the top of it.
The reason I mention that one is because it's what our daughter always used to order when we'd go out, because she didn't care for "the spice" as she called it.
