There are some exotic foods we tend to take for granted exist. Almost every city for example has a Chinese restaurant, a Mexican restaurant, and maybe an Outback Steakhouse. But this isn’t universal for some reason. Someone asked me if I wanted to go to an Egyptian restaurant and I was like “wait, they have restaurants?”
A question for all those who would say they consider themselves ethnically fluent. What are all the cultural categories of food you’ve had?
Not who you replied to, but I think some people would prefer asking with “What are all the different kinds of food you’ve ever eaten?” and then elaborate by saying stuff like “My area has many types of food, but I’ve never seen any Egyptian restaurants/places around before.” or something like that.
Every time I’m broad like that, people misunderstand the topic’s boundaries.
