I just read "the other version" of this at BPHD; spot on. All I could think of was the MST3K quote: "Fun with ethnocentrism!"<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty adventurous, food-wise, for your average white American, and when you look at what I eat, it's really not all that adventurous. I mean, I'm amazed at the shrieks and horror when I order chicken feet at dim sum, and that's not exactly a challenging food to eat, if you ask me.<BR/><BR/><I>It's not really about appreciating the diverse foods or culture. It's kind of insulting actually. </I><BR/><BR/>Yep. It's a "freak show" show. I'm a little surprised at all of the horror directed towards tripe. What, these people have never had a sausage with natural casing? I wonder if the "ewww" reaction would come out in a Polish restaurant... after all, they love their blood soup.<BR/><BR/>Nice blog, John. I'll be coming back more often. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104294.post-17770482087630098772007-03-02T13:02:00.000-08:002007-03-02T13:02:00.000-08:00This post was so dead on, it killed me.

It's not really about appreciating the diverse foods or culture. It's kind of insulting actually. He has a list on the website of top 10 most bizarre foods he has eaten. Of course on the list is something I have been have been eating since I was a child and consider a revered part of my cultural heritage. Everything on his list and everything he eats on his show has that role in someones culture. So it all comes off as a big gag at the expense of those persons who are not white americans.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293292382454710136noreply@blogger.com
