Why is everyone obsessed with eating 3rd world cuisine?
Find a loser country, open a restaurant selling their food and the masses will fock to it.

These people are poor, therefore their food should, by rights, be shit.

But it isn't.

It is questions like this that give me a headache.

It doesn't make sense though, does it?

No, not in the slightest.

Why should "the poor" have shit food.
it's more to do with urban vs rural populations and the freshness of ingredients.

I know.
It's the original post that doesn't make any sense. I wasn't clear, sorry.

Not if you look at it in that ridiculously simplistic way no.

Well, I'm poor and I eat shit food.

If you were, say, a rural Italian farmer, you wouldn't, though.
Street food in, say, India or all over the far east, is cheap, nutritious and delicious. Skint Moroccan fishermen have a diet that would cost us a fortune and is fucking lovely.

This is true for much of the world.

I may have been being slightly facetious there

That's all the shit food you eat, I expect.
