That's true, actually. It was a real shock for
people coming to the U.S. from
post-WW1 Europe to learn that social prejudices were so strong that people
perceived as "eaters of garlic" or, generally, consumers of multiple
vegetables
Collecting old computers is a hobby, eating is one of my favorite things to
do. Living in SoCal the only cuisine that seems hard to find is Hungarian,
and we get by with the cross over items most German places have (Goulash
and speatzl).
In the course of a typical month we eat a good dozen different foods of
different cultures, Dim Sum, Sushi, Steak, hamburgers and hot dogs, pizza,
spagetti, Korean BBQ, Mongolian BBQ, mexican, tex-mex, salad bars, french,
fancy Italian, German, Togos, Persian, Japanese (Ramen by the case),
English, Polish, heck we even have an Afgan place. And that isn't even
touching on 4 different kinds of BBQ from the US, plus the Carnesauria from
Boliva we visit more rarely (all you can eat, but mostly just meat meat
meat meat).
I don't know how I could stand a place with a lesser selection.
