[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were white it doesn’t matter where you grew up, you were probably eating the same variety of bland church cookbook food mentioned in the last 2 pages. American cuisine was shockingly uniform. Food Network really opened up people’s eyes to better ways of eating and trying different cuisines. [/quote]

Not really. I'm as white as they come and grew up in NYC with tons of different cuisines and parents who ate everything and were into food. My first "solid" was palak paneer (parents had been vegetarian and ate and cooked a lot of Indian food). They were shopping at natural and "ethnic" markets long before the days of Whole Foods and I don't even recognize a lot of church cookbook food. We didn't ever even have white bread in the house, Wonder Bread was like some kind of crack to 6 year old me I only ever saw other kids eat.  [/quote]

You grew up in NEW YORK CITY, that comment would pretty obviously not apply to someone like you. [/quote]
BS. I have a relative who grew up in Brooklyn, won’t venture beyond Italian or Chinese for ethnic food, and considers black pepper spicy. [/quote]
