You are definitely on to something. I see this India with enormous food diversity. The disgust it evokes in some people for those who eats rice and that too with fingers, or those who put tomatoes in all curries, or never add tomatoes, people who eat garlic/onion, eat meat, eat only vegetarian and so on.
Sometimes it proves fatal when people get killed in racist attacks mainly because of their food habits.
