‘Will miss India for this one reason’: Australian vlogger praises country’s food, hospitality as trip concludes

His plate appears filled with parathas, two varieties of sabzi, raita, a fresh green salad, and some leftover rice, a spread that clearly impressed him. Praising the quality of the meal, he adds, “I’m gonna miss the food here, no doubt about it. If you can get airport food and it tastes this good… So until next time, goodbye. I will miss your food.”

Sharing the video, McNaught summed up his feelings in the caption: “India’s food is just too good, I’ll miss it.”

The post struck a chord with viewers, particularly Indians and fellow travel enthusiasts, who flooded the comments with messages of appreciation. One user wrote, “Will miss you too. Hope to see you soon. You are one such vlogger who tried to show the positive side of India no doubt India do have lot of other things too to be criticised for. But only few shows the good side, You are one of them. Will definitely keep up with your upcoming vlogs too.”

Another comment read, “You truly accepted the India the way it should. You are an absolute energy bro.” A third user questioned common stereotypes, asking, “But american and Europian people says ” I hate smell of curry”.”

Others encouraged him to explore more on his next visit. One person suggested, “Brother next time visit village of Punjab or Haryana or proper rural areas of Gujarat u will love it more.”

This is not the first time McNaught’s reflections on India have gone viral. In previous videos, he has spoken emotionally about the generosity he experienced and called out the negative narratives often seen online. In one such moment, he remarked, “It’s just sad how much social media has done India wrong, like it is such a beautiful country.”
