Part of what made the clip go viral was the earnestness with which Lukefoods described how he felt about the food. One of the biggest tweets about the TikTok picked up on this, saying: “This incredibly sincere white guy trying Indian food for the very first time and having his mind blown is so wholesome.”
Additionally, several people wondered why the place he got the food from didn’t give him any cutlery, because, as he highlighted in the video, Lukefoods was forced to use a fork he had in his car.
Another post read: “Speaking as a suburban white guy raised evangelical: the first time you have good naan and curry is the moment you realize you were birthed of a failed civilization.”
Clearly there’s a lot of love for Indian food out there.
