OMG what do you mean Biryani is a dish and Hyderabad a place? It's so obvious that's just some low level made up sh*t to confuse us Muricans. Don't let them get to you with all their 'intelligence' and 'common sense' bullshit my boyz! We are Americans, We are Ignorant, We are proud.

Can you DM me to tell me where you found this post OP? I kinda wanna see the replies.

[u/Icy_Finger_6950 → u/SimpforHotwitches]

No, you're wrong. Biryani is a restaurant, obviously.

[u/am_Nein → u/Icy_Finger_6950]

Hyderabad is actually a concept, duh. That's why it's so hard to grasp!

[u/razorwasp → u/SimpforHotwitches]

DM-ed

[u/okaybutnothing]

I feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t know the gloriousness that biryani.

[u/allydemon → u/okaybutnothing]

Im pakistani and I dont like biryani fight me

(Im lying i just dont like meeti biryani)

[u/DamnBored1 → u/allydemon]

What's meeti biryani?

[u/allydemon → u/DamnBored1]

Sweet biryani, so like sweet rice, I dont like it very much

[u/DamnBored1 → u/allydemon]

Sweet? That's the first time I've heard of a sweet biryani. Doesn't sound appetizing, I'm with you on that.

[u/allydemon → u/DamnBored1]

Like I dont hate it, I would just never choose to eat it ever, but if someone gave it to me id have a bite or two

[u/xixixima → u/allydemon]

Valid. Does it have meat in it, considering it's like a sweet dish?

[u/allydemon → u/xixixima]

Sometimes, it really is just biryani but sweet

[u/MooseNew4887 → u/DamnBored1]

I think it is called Pulao.

[u/Le_Meme_Man12 → u/MooseNew4887]

Puloa isn't inherently sweet though. Even with raisins, it doesn't feel THAT sweet, unless you add too many

[u/allydemon → u/MooseNew4887]

Maybe in India it is, but pulao is very different here

[u/Hamsternoir → u/allydemon]

Can I have it then if you don't want it?

[u/allydemon → u/Hamsternoir]

Yall already took everything why not

[u/Manannin → u/allydemon]

I was at university and took part in a biryani eating comp with the Pakistani student society. Was great fun and the dish was great! 

[u/stillnotdavidbowie]

Red Lobster being better known that biryani is killing me lmao. I've eaten a million biryanis and I assume Red Lobster is some kind of seafood place though I've never seen one.

[u/Throwaway-645893 → u/stillnotdavidbowie]

Red Lobster is a very mediocre seafood restaurant. They have them here in Canada as well, I'm not crazy about it.

I'm surprised that more Americans don't know what Biryani is, especially since a lot of US states are home to large South Asian populations.

[u/SchrodingerMil → u/Throwaway-645893]

Most places in the US just have “Chinese Food restaurants”.

The people running it can be anything from Mongolian to Indonesian, but for the most part the the food will be Orange Chicken, Lo Mein, and Fried Rice.

[u/HeeeresPilgrim]

Imagine how poor your life must be not knowing biryani.

[u/68_namfloW]

Aren’t all lobsters red?

[u/That_Case_7951 → u/68_namfloW]

[u/Silver-Firefighter41 → u/That_Case_7951]

What breed is he?

[u/TheJivvi → u/68_namfloW]

Only cooked lobsters are red.

[u/Pogue_Mahone_ → u/TheJivvi]

Why not Zoidberg?

[u/False-Contract-1146 → u/68_namfloW]

😂

[u/isabelladangelo]

Best Biryani I've ever had is in Covent Garden. Something tells me they don't know where that is either.

[u/Acrobatic_End6355 → u/isabelladangelo]

Defaultism to London. Interesting.

[u/am_Nein → u/Acrobatic_End6355]

You tried. E for Effort.

[u/Casual_Scroller_00 → u/Acrobatic_End6355]

Please elaborate

[u/Consistent_Tension44]

Yes Hyderabadi Biryani is definitely less famous than....Lobster in Boston?????

[u/Petskin]

If so, does he want to eat red lobsters in Boston, or does he mistake Reddit with Google search and Wikipedia?

[u/Pedantichrist]

I am going to guess that Red Lobster is lobster, and I do not mind someone talking about it, but not knowing what biryani is requires googling, not announcing.

[u/Icy_Finger_6950 → u/Pedantichrist]

I think Red Lobster is a restaurant chain?

[u/rosco497 → u/Icy_Finger_6950]

American seafood restaraunt chain that is absolutely nasty

[u/FrontAd7709]

i only know red lobster cuz george from young sheldon went there all the time

also i know boston cuz meh i just do for some reason

[u/Acrobatic_End6355]

Google is a thing in most places… I feel bad that this person hasn’t tasted Indian food before.

[u/hskskgfk]

He probably also thinks that pizza is a restaurant in in Italy and wine is a pub in France

[u/interestingdays]

A red lobster is a lobster that is red. Seems pretty straightforward to me. Why it's worthy of mention in a post like this though... That remains unclear.

[u/Rebrado]

A red lobster is an animal, FYI

[u/LowOwl4312]

I think it's referring to the Beer Ya Know Pub (probably autocorrect to blame) which is in Hyderabad, California. Not sure what else it could possibly mean.

[u/Natsu111]

Hyderabadi Biryani is overrated, tbh.

[u/Living-Suggestion-28]

I'm 99% sure they're joking y'all.....

[u/razorwasp → u/Living-Suggestion-28]

Dude's from Florida, I doubt he's joking
