[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So your question is, how much of a snob are they? 
How enlightened are they? I don't know how to quantify this for myself, probably not very. 
How educated? I have an associate's degree.
How worldly? I have never left North America, so practically not at all. 
Are they familiar with quasi exotic things?  Again, how to quantify this?

I thought bouillabaisse was a meat dish - I think I was confusing it with beef bourguignon?  I've never had either. I grew up eating simple foods. Like, my mom poured a jar of spaghetti sauce in Minute rice and told us it was spanish rice.

But, I don't think there's anything wrong with being unenlightened, minimally educated, unworldly and unfamiliar with  exotic things. I think the important thing is to be open to learning. I read a lot, ask a lot of questions, try at least half the things I'm offered (food-wise), and that's fine. [/quote]

:lol:

I never saw an artichoke until I was 22. My dad told us people who liked guacamole were 'showing off'[/quote]

I didn't know brussel sprouts came on a vine until my 30's, and don't think I saw an avocado until my 30's either. All our vegetables came frozen in a bag from the frozen foods section and got microwaved until they were soggy and limp. I'm still figuring out how to cook vegetables in the oven and on the stove in ways I like. [/quote]
