poor nice lady.
Timelies all!
Never eaten authentic Irish food. Amusingly enough, when we were in Scotland, most of what we ate was Chinese or Indian.(There was the little Russian cafe we ate at one night, but that's even farther afield...)
That’s why the Brits I know say British cuisine is curry. When my mom and I were in Amsterdam, we asked where we could get some Dutch food. Everyone tried to steer us to Indonesian restaurants. Because that's what the average Amsterdamnit eats. (We did insist and found the wonderful d'Vijff Vlieghen.)
My sister agitated to find more Kenyan food while we were in Kenya. She couldn't even find a word for rice that wasn't straight off an Indian menu. It was frustrating her, but...that's just how amalgamation works.
amalgamation can be cool too, though. Think of all the fun fusiony cuisines.
I just finished a paper, instead of going to a 4:30 class. The prompt was so high school that I almost lost it:
Write from the point of view of a Buddhist, Jew, Nestorian , Manichean or Muslim. Explain briefly your key beliefs, distinguish yourself from others, your attitude toward evangelization, your purpose on the Silk road and the status of your religion at the time you choose to place yourself.
I wonder if I should also include a diorama, or you know a poster or something. How old am I again?
Kat, make sure your diorama is made completly of recycleable material! /helping with 4th grade Mission project

Tell her, not me. Of course, the more Indian the food, the more her stomach got upset. Cause? Effect? We may never know.
"Authentic" evolves. Italian food has tomatoes, Indian food is hot.
Maybe we should order historically as well as nationally, "can I have that pre-columbian?" or "anything pre-colonial on the menu?"
Dawn, poor you! Actually I'm kidding about the Diorama. But the assignment feels like something I'd ask my middle school kids to do. "Imagine you're a jew in Venice in the 15th century. Make up a journal for your daily life!"
