Ethnic Food Aficionado Mugs

Hoax Ethnic Food

I found out something last night that just totally destroyed my entire worldview. The burrito, as most Americans know it, did not actually come from Mexico. Or maybe it did. The internet is of two minds about the issue. The point is, if you can't count on the burrito being Mexican, you can't count on anything. I have something to tell you about Chop Suey.

'We can order Lebanese, Thai, Italian, Indian, Greek or Chinese...'

'Do you want your zebra de la margola rare, medium or well done?'

"I think the 'Exotic Recipe' diet will make me lose weight. I'm running all over town trying to find the ingredients!"

"Put out the Asian sates, the Russian blinis, and the Mexican bean dips, while whip up something Korean."

"I know it’s a challenge, but it needs your input!" "...Your breadth of knowledge of different interest groups, religions...cultures!" "Right, so the staff Christmas meal will be a traditional lacto-vegan one at a Thai restaurant sometime in March?" "Do you think the Pagans will be OK with that?"

'This is fantastic! I don't know what's smaller, the talk or the food?'

'Are you sure you don't have any Indian blood?.'

Culture clash

'This is my kind of Chinese...A chocolate double fudge fortune cookie!'

"I just explained 'kugel' to him."

Lottery - come back to eat here 20 times and you will win million dollar in lottery.

"As you can see, my culinary creations are eclectic."

'It's an acquired taste!'

Children hold hands around a map of the world with picnic food.

'I think we should eat out in the hotel tomorrow dear.'

In the Works: Eurocheese, Eurobread, Eurowine.

The Great Dietary Pyramids of Egypt.

'Free Chen Cuangcheng fortune cookies are here!'

"Hi! I haven't had a crap in months. Bon appetit!"

'I eat them myself, and I can assure you that beetles are even better than ants.'

"It's steak and chips, it is what the ploughman had for lunch!"

'It's the law of the puszta, son. Them tripping on a banana skin, that's funny. Us tripping on a banana skin, that's a conspiracy!'

"You'll like this place. The food is eclectic without being schizophrenic."

'Do you do the squished up little balls that taste of fish - or are you the wrong ethnicity?'

We're sunk. Everyone's supposed to bring their Grandma's best dish to the potluck. Don't panic. Helen's Grandma was from Scotland. Yeah. But the Patakis cook Indian feasts. And the Mercantis still make 10 course Italian dinners. What was your Granny's specialty? Jell-o cube salad. Mmm ... sweet or savory?

'There's a new push to improve the quality of food available...here's the takeovut menus for Ling's Chinese and the Indian in the High St!'

Explorer's Club: 'Rule one - when you eat a hamburger, don't ask what's in it!'

"You call this guacamole?"

'A bird's nest. . . hmmm, I wonder what that would taste like in a soup?'

'Oh, quit blubbering about not finding any quality walrus fat in the city!'

"I thought that we were going to eat something exotic tonight - not just a traditional English meal."

'Our cuisine has moved from the eclectic to the schizophrenic.'

Frank and Ernie's Greek Cafe. Menu. I'd like a gyro with everything. One encyclopita!
