@edanderson101 I followed you because you did a podcast with a professor of mine and I really liked it and now you're in the middle of a food scandal wow

@shireentwt Thanks Shireen! Was that Prof Shohini Ghosh by any chance?

@edanderson101 Have been quietly following idligate for some time now, and last night my boyfriend, apropos of nothing while reading the news, asked “who’s Edward Anderson?”

@hannahrosewoods Very good question.

@FaraFarout All good, Farzana! Nice to hear from you. How are things with you?

@edanderson101 Idly is healthy food, bread is sickness food, served to sick people in hospitals.

@edanderson101 I’m from Kerala & fully agree with you, “My mother-in-law's fish moilee is to die for, and I can't get enough konju roast, appam and ishtew, meen varuthathu, and of course piles of Kerala parotta. When all this is available, why waste your time eating idlis?!" he added.”

@edanderson101 I agree. I love Idlis and am from the South of India. But food is a matter of taste and choice. No place for culinary chauvinism!

@edanderson101 @XilleIlahi 😂😂😂

@edanderson101 No forks for you.

@edanderson101 You're a professor now, cherish the moment.

@edanderson101 I just hope you already have your OCI.

@edanderson101 Good lord. <checks for food hot takes I could make to increase my social media footprint>

@edanderson101 You shall henceforth and forever be known as the Idliater

@edanderson101 While pride in one’s food culture is admirable, forcing/shaming/bullying others to like it is not. People need to let go! They’re taking themselves too seriously!!

@edanderson101 This is, by far, your greatest work ed.

@edanderson101 At this rate, you may wanna check if your visa hasn't been revoked!!! 😀

@edanderson101 Who'd have thought an innocuous remark would go so far!

@McQuade906 I know. Sneakily doesn't reveal her hand until the end though!
