Let me respond to myself by apologizing for my rude response to winecountrygirl. There’s no excuse for my tone.
The content of what I was trying to convey, and it;s something that oppresses me increasingly in this country in which we live, is the certain Eurocentric tone that permeates food boards, and life in general in the U.S. It’s fairly common to find people who want food recommendations to say “not-Indian”, “not-Chinese”, but very rare for them to say “not-French”. Having said that, for what it’s worth, I absolutely should not have said what I did in the way I did.
winecountrygirl is a poster I respect, and to her I say I’m sorry.
