But there are lots of anecdotal observations that will indicate it is true. Just like what they're always saying in Europe, Germans smell different from Italians. Or spice eating people smells different from non-spice eaters. So those people who has that belief might not be IDIOTS after all. As for Indians, they have they're eating habits and the way they prefer their foods. They're totally different from what we normally have locally. There might be some few locals who might be critical with those things and they are not the rules but the exceptions. It's sad that you've reacted that way.

Just like the black sheep in the family and the white sheep one. Black Hole, Black Saturday, White House...all with racist implications he he he. To be politically correct, don't call them indigents. It's marginalized sector. Squatters? No...they're informal settlers. Cheers!!! My apology if I’m OT but I just can’t help sharing these -

There are traditional versions that contain lamb or chicken. Not all samosas are vegetarian dishes. There are traditional versions that contain lamb or chicken.

Looks like it contains grounded beef in it. I thought samosas are usually mashed potatoes with spices in it. Speaking of Samosas, we usually drop by an Indian 'turoturo' in the neighborhood after playing tennis and buy them hot and crispy along with hot jasmine(sampaguita) tea with milk. @Connie: I thought the food in your photo is an empanada too.
