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 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.
