not just food




it's not a poor man's paella. i don't even like paella. i'd rather have valenciana (pictured). it's my crisp apple streudel. we have strong flavours in the orient. while here in the west, they serve merely sandwiches during get-togethers ( or only crisps). it's probably too bare and simple for our palate. food divides cultures. mashed potato in one corner, rice on the other end. at nando's, it's either mashed, rice or bread with the chicken. it's whatever one's fancy. just never expect people to be the same.
