I'm a seriously picky eater. Was as a kid, still am. However, being a military-embassy brat, having lived in the Middle East a few times, I was stuck. I could be picky in restaurants, I could be picky at home, but I could never, ever be picky where I was guest. That meant eating Kosher, Halal, Arabic, Moroccan, and so on and so forth. Hated most of it, learned to swallow it regardless. Even so, there is no way I would put down those who like the food, whether because of religion or just taste. Kosher and Halal is a matter of killing and preparation, not a political matter. If you like it, go for it. If you don't, eat something else.

Considering that most Villagers are quite educated and some have traveled extensively throughout the US and the World it surprises me that so many are like children when it comes to experiencing different cuisines. I realize that we all have our likes and dislikes concerning food but the significant lack of variety in cuisines in TV is shocking.
I suppose its also because as some get older they get stuck in their ways and cant be flexible anymore..if they ever were. Reminds me of my mother...she would eat nothing in a Chinese restaurant except Chicken Chow Mein....no way was she putting that other foreign food in her mouth. |

Also, the worst food I ever ate was in China over a two week tour. One of the participants became so seriously ill from the food there they evacuated her by plane for hospitalization. The food I ate in Egypt and Morocco was OK but not remarkable and I did not get sick. It may have been Halal. I don't know or care.

Who said anything was wrong with food from Ohio?. I think you are gastronomically defensive...or just like bland food. That's ok...eat what you want. |

I have eaten all over the world and enjoy many cuisines. I love MIDDLE EASTERN food, NOT because it may be "Muslim" food, "Kosher Muslim" food, or "halal". I eat it because I like THE FOOD, not because it was butchered with a ceremonial knife, or while facing Mecca, or while reciting some thousand year old gobbity-gook. I would say the same about Jewish kosher food, or any food that is associated with a religion, rather than a culture Now before you start thinking "racist" or "islamaphobe", please realize that the best man and one usher at my wedding 30 years ago were Jewish (which pi$$ed off my sister in law no end), the guests included our friends that were African American, Asian American, Muslim, Hindu, and an Iranian. That's just the way it is in NYC, and that was 30 years ago. I've been to Seders, have you? I've been to a mosque for Friday services, have you? I've been to a traditional Hindu wedding, have you? So please, skip the lecture, skip the mumbo jumbo during it's preparation, and I'll just have some falafel and hummus. PS---ManAT is right, the food in China is AWFUL!!! PPS--sorry this isn't a step towards becoming BFF's |
