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?
Falafel differs from place to place. The most generic are likely levantine or maghrebi… But I bet there’s more.
It’s like pizza, I know plenty of pizza styles and they differ from Italian
yeah although I lump pizza places as italian food.
