There may be trouble with the definition of any culture's food! Most cultures have a mix of a few excellent examples and a lot of mediocrity and some awful food.
"Kind of gross" is a personal reflection and not really helpful.
Perhaps those knocking me might like to instead spend time thinking about the very low reputation of American food in the rest of the world!
I take it from your comments on appropriation that you never use pepper on your food given it came from India.
