Stuart Lynn spent nearly £30 in his local Indian restaurant, and asked for his venison curry to be served very mild.

This is quite a normal request, so he was shocked when his curry order came with a receipt marked 'VERY MILD, WHITE PPL'.

The 44-year-old believes the note was a slur, suggesting that white people can't handle curries that are not mild.

"I was not happy at all - it said 'white people' next to my curry."
Stuart Lynn
He has complained to the curry house in Southall, west London.

Stuart, who works as a supervisor at Heathrow Airport, told The Mirror: "I was not happy at all - it said 'white people' next to my curry.

"It implies we can't deal with strong curries. I do like a hot curry sometimes. I just fancied a mild one for a change. I thought it was very rude of them.

"It was the first time I've been in there and I won't be going back."

The owner of the restaurant, Ruby Kandasamy, clarified what they meant by "white ppl":

"Under white ppl, we don't mean white people, but a white sauce made from milk, single cream, coconut milk and spices we add to our dishes when a curry is requested mild.

"'Ppl' means 'milk.' "However, we have decided to change the way we inform the kitchen and will mention 'add white ppl' or 'with white sauce' to avoid any confusion with our customers.

The owner should have put wimp instead so that he can be judged for the content of his curry not the colour of his skin.

Edit: for shits and giggles

That explanation is amazing.

Someone needs to go there and order the 'white ppl' and see what they say.

Sure you did, pal. Sure you did.

I know I always refer to milk as ppl in casual conversation. "Milk" just sounds too formal.

liquidtmd · Sep 25, 2015

Ppl means Milk

So White Ppl was needed in case they used the Black milk at the back of the fridge

RoboPlato · Sep 25, 2015

Ppl means milk.

Ahahahahahahaha

ultratruman · Sep 25, 2015

No, it's not racial. White ppl is code for milk sauce!

This sounds like a South Park skit. The outrage, the explanation. Its perfect.

stump sock · Sep 25, 2015

clearly I'm part of the problem because I usually ask for "white people spicy" at indian/chinese/korean joints

amusingly it's almost always the perfect heat

I am screaming at "ppl = milk", omfg

painey · Sep 25, 2015

when I was in nashville, I went to a fried chicken place and I was the only white person there. After my order was up, the place was busy and the guy at the counter asked to the back "who's the #3 combo for?" and the guy who took my order and went to the back yelled "the white dude". Everyone in the place looked at me, and we all chuckled, and I went and ate my tasty chicken.

Firestorm · Sep 25, 2015

agree with tweet in article
who asks for "very mild" curry wtf

braves01 · Sep 25, 2015

Unabashed racism

BocoDragon · Sep 25, 2015

So many people from spicy cultures: indian, korean, mexican, etc. make the mistake that "corporate American" food = "white people" food.

The corporate model is to serve the most people with one flavour, and that means not spicy. But many white people love spicy food.

Lone_Prodigy · Sep 25, 2015

Maybe the owner should've just said "white ppl" was a way of identifying the customer.

Dali · Sep 25, 2015

Zoe Voss... If you're listening... I've got a lot of white ppl waiting for you.

This guy ever goes back to that restaurant, and he may end up with another kind of white sauce in his order.

godofcookery · Sep 25, 2015

Any south Indian folk in here? Please tell me there is some code for coconut, cream and milk that ppl makes sense for. Please.

uh huh

I had a funny "white people can't handle spicy food" moment at work a few months ago when someone brought in a platter of veggies and hummus. My timid Minnesotan co-workers wouldn't even touch the red and yellow bell peppers because they thought they might be spicy. More for me!

Also, maybe folks should learn to laugh at themselves a little when they belong to the group that generally has the most clout and privilege.

Dynamite Shikoku · Sep 25, 2015

Mild curry? Please stop embarrassing us white ppl

Who orders that shit?

Venison? Just get some saag aloo and chana masala, rice, chapati...onion bhajji *day dreams*

Tubobutts · Sep 25, 2015

If you order a "mild" curry you deserve whatever you get.

Arkos · Sep 25, 2015

Green is milk

YoungHav · Sep 25, 2015

Lmao @ the explanation. That's an M.Knight Shamalayan twist. My stomach can't handle white ppl.

BitStyle · Sep 25, 2015

Never heard of "ppl" equaling milk. If any Gaffer could clarify this, I would be most interested.

Other than that, it seems like some massive gymnastics
