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?

    That’s an optical illusion. That’s like saying the sky isn’t blue just because you can see into the sky.

      The sky isn’t blue. It’s the angle of the sun and the blue wavelength of light making it to our eyes.

      At a different angle the sky is quite red or orange.

        Turns out the color of everything has to do with different angles at which light travels through it.

        Apples are red because the other wavelengths get bent into the 6th dimension and become electronic energy.
