I'm always astonished
when I go somewhere and try ethnic food and find it to be awful. I mean, seriously- it's not that difficult to cook good Mexican food, as an example. Yet the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been in were one here in Richmond that's run by a Greek family, and one in Saranac Lake NY in the back woods.

Why do these people cook up awful slop and pawn it off as Indian or Chinese or whatever? If the authentic stuff tasted like that, the natives of that land would revolt and start cooking differently! Worse, why do people go to these restaurants and support them if the food is greasy/salty/bland/revolting?

Gah. Never mind- I'm not going to go off on a food rant. I know that I'm too demanding.

Still, how hard is it to cook, ffs? Not knowing how to cook is like not knowing how to fuck!
