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?
Is this something people track? What’s considered “exotic?”
Is KFC exotic if I live far away from Kentucky?
I’m european, is Whataburger and a Shiner Boch exotic? Or brisket at golden coral with authentic Galvestonian
chlorinewater to drink?We looked at taco bell as an exotic American restaurant when one opened here.
KFC is a specific recipe credited to one guy, so I wouldn’t say in a strict sense, but the case can be made.
Anything associated enough with another country/culture to pair it with that group of people.
Okay, then I again ask, is this something peopke track?
Yes.
