TikToker has mind blown trying Indian food for the first time in heartwarming clip
A TikToker has captured people’s hearts after trying Indian food for the first time and having his mind blown. With Big Brother star Yinrun trying a crisp sandwich in a heartwarming moment, it’s always nice to see someone experience the joys of trying something for the first time in their lives. American TikToker @lukefoods recently had a similar experience as he went viral after enjoying the delights of onion bhajis, a garlic naan, butter chicken curry and gulab jamun. In his video, which has been viewed 9.5 million times, Luke could be seen sitting in his car having just picked up his takeaway order from an Indian restaurant. Luke first tried the onion bhaji, saying it reminded him of an onion ring. Next, he sampled the garlic naan, which is when his mind truly started to melt. After taking a bite, Luke said: “That seasoning is out of this world. It has a nice garlic parmesan taste and that is cooked to perfection. I’m not even joking. “It’s thin bread but it has so much flavour to it. In fact, this might be the best bread I’ve ever had in my life. 9.5.” @lukefoods Trying Indian Food For The First Time!

He said: “Holy cr*p! This might be the best thing I’ve ever tasted in my life.” Luke rated the curry a 9.9 and said he was “blown away”, before dipping a piece of garlic naan into the sauce for a flavour sensation that “should be a crime”. In the comments, other TikTokers confirmed that Indian food is indeed fantastic and remarked on the “wholesome” nature of his review.

Darren England, referee of Tottenham-Liverpool VAR debacle, returns to the Premier League
VARs Darren England and Daniel Cook will return to Premier League duty this weekend following their error in last month’s fixture between Tottenham and Liverpool. England and Cook were the VAR and VAR assistant respectively when Liverpool forward Luis Diaz’s goal was incorrectly ruled out for offside in Tottenham’s 2-1 home win. Both officials were stood down the following week, but England will be back as the fourth official for Brentford’s home game against Burnley on Saturday and Cook will return as assistant referee for Sheffield United’s home match against Manchester United. Miscommunication between VAR England and referee Simon Hooper led to Diaz’s goal being wrongly ruled out on September 30, with the incident later described by referees’ chief Howard Webb as “a clear error”. Hooper is the designated VAR for Newcastle’s home game against Crystal Palace on Saturday. New VAR guidelines were introduced in the wake of the Diaz disallowed goal controversy, while audio of the incident was later released. England mistakenly thought the on-field officials had ruled Diaz to be onside, which meant that when he told them ‘check complete’ they believed he had upheld their on-field decision and restarted play with a free-kick. Once play had restarted, there was nothing the VARs could do to revisit the decision under existing protocols. Referees’ body Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said it would develop a new VAR communication protocol in an effort to avoid similar mistakes being made in future. PGMOL said the protocol would “enhance the clarity of communication between the referee and the VAR team in relation to on-field decisions”. VARs will now also confirm the outcome of the checking process with the assistant VAR before confirming the final decision to the on-field officials. One of the talking points from the latest round of fixtures was referee Michael Oliver’s decision not to send off Manchester City’s Mateo Kovacic for a challenge on Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard. The City midfielder was shown a yellow card before avoiding another shortly afterwards and Webb later admitted Kovacic was “fortunate” to stay on the pitch. Oliver will referee Sheffield United’s home game against Manchester United on Saturday.
