Food diversity here is second to none.
I've had food from several African countries, several South American countries, several European countries, some North American Classics, an Indingenous American tribes, several Middle Eastern countries, several Asian countries (down to the region), and several Central American countries (Mexican food has also gotten down to the region).
All of these restaurants are within the same region, so I don't have to drive insane distances to experience any of them at a whim, and most of them are can be found in one city. All of them are delicious, and all of them have chefs from those nations, and at times, regions.
I'm not into getting doxed, so I'm going to say where I live.222 Reply- +1 y
This factor was the tie breaker when I was deciding to learn abroad. I decided to eat food from a different country for lunch and dinner until I experienced them all. After the first week, 7 straight days, and still not being finished, my mind was blown. And I loved everything I tried.
I love having options. - +1 y
lmfao if you ask anyone from those countries they will all say the americanized version of their food taste like shit and do not compare at all the original! I know this first hand being from the middle east and i can tell you middle eastern food in the US is some watered down shit of the original. To get the real stuff you would have to personally know people from different countries and go to their home to eat the authentic stuff!

@vald9inches
Many of the restaurants I visited were recommended by people native to those countries and regions, and many of them are relatively famous, with very high ratings. I also usually ate at the restaurant with those people, and they generally ordered for me.
I have only eaten at a few Middle Eastern North African restaurants, one of them being a chain, but I didn't go there for a multi-course dinner, just a quick bite on while on the move:
Halal Boys (the chain I tried), I've tried their fish, lamb, chicken, and beef over rice and in gyros (I loved their gyros);
an Iraqi restaurant run by a family that had arrived from Iraq, and their food was slamming;
and a Palestinian restaurant that has been around for a long time, I was brought there by a Palestinian, their restaurant was almost exclusively filled with Palestinians, and the food was great.
Maybe you live in or have visited places that are not so great concerning world class cuisine, or you were unfortunate enough to visit soon to be closed restaurants.
Where I am, the competition is insanely stiff, and if a restaurant is not great, it's gone in a month or less. It doesn't matter if it is the only restaurant from a particular country, the competition is world class just one door down on either side.
So I'd advise you to get around a little more, maybe visit coastal areas that are known for their restaurants, maybe make friends in those areas that can tell you where to get their people's food. - +1 y

@vald9inches We know that and we understand it. We also don't really care. Because the same thing comes into place in your Middle Eastern land. Try getting some real American food that isn't the standard fare. Even if we wanted our standard fare elsewhere, you guys couldn't scrape it out of your bung hole sideways if you wanted to.

@BlackBeauty90
There are bad restaurants in every country and city around the globe, the point I had is that no other country can produce both a high culinary standard, along with the level of diversity that we can.
I understand that not every city, county, or even state can produce this phenomena, but it does occur in some places within the U. S., and this is a phenomena that you will not find anywhere else at all.
The closest I've experienced was London, but that's not even close. There's no real South American cuisine scene, at least not like in the U. S.
I live in wonderful places that are within that nexus, like a Venn diagram for competition and cultural diversity. Not every restaurant that exists is great, but I can have Michelin Star sushi, 4 kinds of Michelin star Chinese food, many kinds of authentic high quality Mexican food that only locals know about, Pho praised by the local Vietnamese community, extremely highly rated Peruvian food, highly rated authentic Irish dishes, highly rated Ethiopian food, locally praised Jamaican food that has referrals from the Jamaican community, Michelin Star Italian restaurants, Michelin Star French restaurants, etc, etc. And I can have it all within 30 minutes, 45 tops.
You're just not going to find this occurring even once anywhere else, at least not with this level of diversity. There are some cities in the U. S. that have a ton of amazing hole in the wall restaurants from every culture. The quality and diversity can be amazing. No other country even has the opportunity to produce this kind of reality. - +1 y
@vald9inches as a former chef, and world traveler, I will tell you that the flavor and quality of the food comes from the flavor and quality of the ingredients. Depending on where you live and source your foods, in the USA it can go from amazing to depressing. I remember distinctly a particularly sad pomegranate in Maine, selling for an arm and a leg. I would pick pomegranates 4 times the size, healthy and luscious, for free in my grandmother's backyard. Many third world countries have third rate ingredients available. Some local items can be amazing, but living in a first world nation that gets fresh imports from all over is my preference. Especially where I am in California where we also have an abundance of delicious fresh, top notch agricultural products.

@BlackBeauty90 Holy Christ. The snobbery I can encounter on this place is something fucked up. What is wrong with you people? All you folks do is complain. You have the ability to shut up. You can live where you live and not complain. When you get a chance though, you bite the hand that allows you to be a such a dip shit in the first place. Fuck those people though. Fuck them sideways. Tell them they need to pay attention to you. Fuck you. Pay attention to yourself. Then fuck off.

Unrelated to your comment, but I don't know if you're from the Bayou, but you just reminded me about the food I had in Louisiana.. Crazy.. Just crazy great.
I was in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and New Orleans, and it was amazing eating. Life altering.
I will never forget Mama's Kitchen... unbelievable. Every place I ate was amazing. - +1 y
@youngmix I have a sister in New Orleans and she is a food lover like us, so she made a point of taking us to all the best places in town. One of which was a nicer restaurant and she was friends with a chef who kept sending us out delicious things from the kitchen "on the house", even off-menu stuff he just had and thought "oh those kids will enjoy this".
There was another BBQ place she took us (me and another sister) that I will never forget. Just fantastic food everywhere we went. - +1 y
@vald9inches Not only is this 100% true when it comes to preparations, but the taste of many foods produced in the USA is very inferior to other countries, so let's start with that.
There are many reasons for this:
* Mass production vs smaller, local farms
* Chemicals and preservatives used, many required by law
* Diet fed to animals
* Conditions the animals are raised in
* For vegetables, depleted soil conditions
* Distances food has to be shipped and therefore is picked before it's ripened.
All of these contribute to taste. If you've lived on non-locally produced foods or processed foods all your life, you may never know any different. If you haven't tasted foods that are truly "farm to table" from smaller, non-chemical using producers, you don't know what you're missing.
The biggest difference I notice when traveling is in cured meats. Italy, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain - the meats taste amazing. You can make a sandwich with two thin slices of meat from these countries, no matter what the product, and it's got more flavor and tastes better than anything from Boar's Head, or any "top" producer in the USA. You need almost a third of pound on your sandwich just to feel as satisfied.
Fruits and vegetables taste very different too. I believe it's all to do with local and smaller production, and more "organic" (in Europe it's called 'biological') procedures. In the USA, you pay a ton more for "humanely raised" meats or "free range chickens" and "free range eggs". In Italy for example, once you're out of the major cities, it's ALL produced that way and that's what you get. In Portugal, I had fresh baked rolls and bread DELIVERED to my door for less than $1 a day, and it tasted great!
Coming back to the USA after travelling is a feeling like "it's good to be home and see friends, family, and do the activities I like, but man, I'm gonna miss food that tastes fantastic no matter WHAT I eat!
- +1 y
@loveslongnails exactly!! For example i always found the taste of chicken in the middle east vs the taste of chicken in the in the US is night and day! The US meats and cheese and even the bread is so bland it can drive you crazy if you are not used to it!

I would say all countries are becoming shitholes. All countries are attacking investigative journalists and having puppet politicians make ultra-rich elites wealthier than most people through cut-throat methods. All countries are having a decreasing amount of internet freedom. Internet service providers from all countries have cowered down to Orwellian government surveillance. Mainstream media businesses have been monopolized by ultra-rich elites internationally to silence investigative journalists and genuinely antiwar people. That’s why countries continue to get bombed and enslaved by America’s military-industrial complex. European rulers are doing nothing to stop America’s military-industrial complex because they care about money more than people’s well-being. The food and water supplies are being monopolized by ultra-rich elites internationally. This is why European rulers are still doing things that contribute to global warming, animal abuse in the agriculture industry, and so forth. America’s C. I. A. agents turned formerly democratic countries into sweatshop dystopias that are known for increased suicide rates. European rulers have done nothing to stop that because, like I said, they care about money more than people’s well-being. All countries are controlled by cut-throat elites who don’t care about human rights and animal rights. China is attacking online privacy rights by banning V. P. Ns, investigative journalism by banning free press, and internet freedom by banning websites at the expense of intellectual freedom.

You can’t ignore certain things in order to maintain your perspective on America, regardless of your political views. I never thought of America as the country on earth but it could be if we started working together as one people.
To be honest, working together with people requires introspective skills over pride AND people are stubborn so that reality might take some time10 Reply
+1 yI don't know ask the millions of people who try to immigrate here in America... Including me
Our constitution; freedoms, sense of patriotism, our head for business and free market.. I also as an immigrant who considers himself well travelled notice that people who are the most critical of America when they live in America are Americans, mostly those who have not travelled and don't know what other countries in the world are made up of.. And I don't mean VISITED other countries I mean lived in another country for a significant amount of time... No place is perfect, but if America is not the greatest country than feel welcome to tell me which country10 Reply
+1 yYou really think that America is “anti gay”. We now have not a day, not a week but an entire month devoted to LGBTQ + half the alphabet. The American embassy hung up a rainbow flag in the Vatican to defy the Catholic Church like it that was “so brave”. Try doing that in an Islamic country. Really.
So what the hell are you comparing America too? Canadá? The Nordic countries? The vast majority and population of the rest of the world (Middle East, China, Russia, etc.) would probably burn rainbow flags and supporters together if they even attempted to promote these “agendas”
No country including America will ever be perfect. But seriously spend some time even down south in Mexico to see where people legitimately have hard lives, poverty and scant human rights compared to America.00 Reply
Anonymous(36-45)+1 y@oddbeme - what's so great about America?
You have no culture. What *do* Anglo Americans, in particular, have as a culture?
You're borrowing, and usually screwing up, say British culture claiming to be English or Irish or Scottish. Green beer for example doesn't exist in Ireland except for dumb tourists. Or you're doing the same with some other European culture you distinctly trace your ancestry to & know nothing of.
Just asking as yesterday I had an American say "pond" means something different in British English - no it doesn't unless we're referring to the ocean - and I'm sitting there wondering if they really are ***that*** stupid. Particularly when this American had the nerve of telling me they're British - suuure they are, by far distinct ancestry.19 Reply

Your food is poor intimidation of what passes in other countries. Usually watered down for an anglo palate. I always rate American restaurants by one thing. How many patrons of X ethnicity are eating there. If there's few or none then the food is garbage meant for Anglos & wouldn't be suitable for being fed to a dog in the country they're trying to say their "ethnic" food comes from.

you are correct, Americans continue to IMPROVE everything from everywhere... Old world foods were often a dietary Nightmare... so, we improved it and preserved the flavor.

@schittywok Cool your jets, angry man. You obviously don't live in a big city area, or your car would be locked, your doors would be bolted, or you'd be sitting at your window with your 80 guns waiting to kill someone for jacking your car.
The fact that you love your life doesn't address the question at hand. You only measure "greatness" by your OWN comfort. Then you go spouting off about "libtards" and Schiff, et al, while you worship ass hats like McConnell, McCarthy and Trump, and think the whole of the USA should be Republican because YOU think it's grand.
Ultimately, you recognize that Subarugirl is just smarter than you are, has facts to back up her opinions, and isn't a raging redneck whose ONLY means of expression is to call someone names.

However, as easy as it is to simply avoid all confrontations of these sorts no one should be afraid to be anywhere. I will never put myself in a place where I need to off somebody and not have the evidence to back me up as to where I will simply rot in prison for 20 years to life. What really pisses a guy off?

@OddBeMe "What did Trump actually do?" He was the first real President since Reagan. So, we are to believe. He truly made America Great Again. Despite everything. What did Slick Willy do? He was a blue dog democrat, aka Republican in name only. With the caveat he banned AR-15's. I could care less if Monica sucked his dick. What he did wrong is ban something that you do not want in my hands. That was the start of the division.

Yet, Louis C. K. who in lefty minds is fantastic. He can use his power to masturbate in front of women. Monica sucked Billy's dick. One might say, well she was of age. That is what Libtards do? Louis C. K. had to admit in front of God and everyone that he was wrong. Just to get his footing back. Embarrassed as fuck, Louis is probably a sexual predator and must tell everyone this. His most loyal of people and friends said he's not showing remorse and that he simply "does not get it."? However, Bill Cosby is free. He (Bill) claims he is innocent. Is he? Who the fuck knows? However, Cosby is telling the world R Kelly was railroaded. The kicker is just like hot sauce in assholes. Via JackAss 4.5.

But Libtards show no remorse. William Clinton fucked an intern. For power. For no other reason than he wanted a Cigar dipped in Monica's juices. It's something that is always totally okay. In lefty minds. Everything is okay. Louis C. K. must earn his right back into the mainstream, Libtards or not. However, William Clinton does not. The Clinton's just like the Russians will off people. Proven. So why does a serial masturbator have this much trouble getting back into a world, where 81 Quadrillion people voted for a Potato that touched his daughters clit?

@OddBeMe Then what you idiots do is say William J. Clinton's Impeachment mean's nothing. What in the actual fuck causes you assholes to get on the Witch Hunt High Horse for Trump? Who did precisely nothing. The swamp wants him out? What the fuck did Trump do? Pencil Neck Schiff and Chucky Shumer along with Hillary Clinton and Obama spied on him and lied their pantses off about Russian Collusion? And it still lives to this day. But we have a "big lie" via left bent media, and Lester Fucking Holt. Can't have nothing. Ever. Because you Libtards believe in the next big LIE. All you do is believe in lies. We do everything above board. You do not. FACTS.

I love it when Libtards talk about how we are not the Greatest Country in the World. While not treating everything as America first. Do you see the Irony? You bitch ad infinitum about it. Treat America first and foremost. We are already trillions in debt. But you need to send money where it does not count. We can indeed be far greater than we already are. But you want Globalism. You want Libtardism. Then you bitch about how we aren't the greatest Country still? Despite everything. Despite everything, the Irony is beyond stupid. Libtards are totally okay with spending a billion dollars on Ukraine, they turn the other cheek. It's totally fantastic to send millions upon millions to Pakistan? For Gender Studies? You don't want to combat our problems here? You don't want to do it. Then you bitch that we are not number fucking one.

I'll say it again. Common Fucking Sense. That should be Trump's 2024 motto instead of Save America. Libtards can't understand this. You hate upon your own Country. You make it this way.

Opinion Owner+1 y@vald9inches Capitalism does not produce monopolies only Government as you should very well know given the need use bribery and lobbying to control the same government power of force to protect said monopoly. Absence said force to inhibit competition no monopoly could be sustained.
Indeed it was precisely the collapse of the limited Federal Constitutional system which until then provided almost no such general power to be so abused that enabled such monopolies to establish themselfs abusing it thereafter to protect themselfs.
- +1 y
Capitalism does not produce monopolies huh? Wow what milton friedman rock have you been living under in denial? Lmfao 😂 care to explain what happened to the multitude of independent news stations and entertainment stations since the advent of television and radio?
Opinion Owner+1 y@vald9inches FCC broadcast licenses are issued in limited supply and can be difficult to obtain. The real consolation of the news industry however happened at the end of the 19th century. It hinged upon leveraging new Federal government enforced understandings of intellectual property and distribution rights, as well as trade and businesses 'rights' invented by congress and its hand picked courts facilitating the consolation.
The backlash against the effects of theses changes in the 'progressive' era resulted in hardly enforced anti-trust laws.(The trouble with politicians is they tend to run for office to control things themselfs either for money or their own agenda, so have never been generally inclined to seriously challenge the systems of their own control.)
Insolently some of theses cartels broke down following the de-regulation and technological changes starting in the 1980's and 1990's creating new distribution and platform systems ranging from the end of AT&T monopoly, the development of high bandwidth cable distribution, and the modern internet and its enormous diversity of platform excess allowed.
Until then we basically just had 4 networks who controlled everything all of whom were largely controlled and selected by federal bureaucrats who controlled their access to the airways.
- +1 y
@monorprise So you admit there is corruption in the government as well as politicians is that correct?
Opinion Owner+1 y@vald9inches As a rule the more unaccountable or obscurely distant a government is from the people it governs the more predispose it is to corruption.
Unfortunately our federal government today rather than sticking to a very tiny number of at most 35 enumerated powers. Has effectively claimed power over everything. Having such broad power gives it a vast domain of economic and political influence to sell to the highest Bider far larger than can be observed in any of the elections that take place every 2-6 years.
As such no matter what issue you vote on each November there are thousands of others the same politicians are free to sell policy on, with the vast majority being largely ignored and thus left to un-elected and unobserved bureaucrats to do the same.
There is simply no practical way we can hold such a government accountable. There is no human we could elect who could even keep track of it all even if they wanted to, nor any way to hold any such super-human person who could accountable for failing on more than a few such issues.
The very idea is even more insanely dangerous then trying to drive a car with nothing more than an on/off switch, because that is basically all we do have for all the complexity and newonices we have to deal with.
So yes there is large scale corruption proportional to the large scale un-accountablity.
This is the reason far wiser men than are common today recognizing the limits of human cognition and skill strongly advised us to keep such power as limited and local as possible. So that we the people might best be informed of its activities with our own eyes and best able to hold it accountable with the vote of our ballots and failing that our feet.- +1 y
And how do you think voting at the ballots will solve anything with the revolving door of the politician business man such as Ajit Pai who was the chairman of the FFC but worked for Verizon before that? Do you not agree that of that corruption and deregulation was made possible by lobbying and this revolving door?
Opinion Owner+1 y@vald9inches
It is the power itself that they seek to use to secure their own position and limit their rivals. They don't particularly care what person or persons wields said power in their favor, it really doesn't matter.
Indeed if anything appointing a former CEO who has since divested has the limited advantage of that public official having some idea of the effects of the requested policy changes being lobbied for. Not that they or our congressmen would necessarily be inclined to oppose such regulatory capture.
The problem is in fact the power itself is not something we the people can practically see, understand, or control free of forsaking all other issues of similar power. Thus it really doesn't matter who gets appointed. The politicians and absence their attention public officials will
We voted for the president to avoid getting us all killed in war, that precludes us having any say on what exactly the FCC, ATF, FBI, CIA, NSA, EPA, DOE, and countless other agencies are doing.
Complain all you want even if you did outlaw appointing former CEO's to such positions, and their serving in subsequent industries (as it already the case in many other areas) it changes nothing. The policies being lobbied for would simply be implemented by other people, people with even less idea of their effect.
- +1 y
So you don't see any conflict of interest in having a former Verizon employee become the chairman of the FCC? And it also seems like you are ok with legal bribery aka lobbying? Lol ok interesting... 😂
Opinion Owner+1 y@vald9inches I am not ok with the big government corruption and abuse taking place.
I simply don't accept there is anything that can be done to control such corruption while the power exist in such a distantly obscure place of such limited accountability and control.
We have already made laws banning such hiring and conflict of interest in other areas. It doesn't make a difference because the underlining source of the corruption is as explained the unaccountable nature of the government that wielding the power as well as frankly the power's complex nature itself.
For your information competing companies routinely trade CEOs and other high level staff. Non-competes are illegal in many states like Texas.
As long as they are personally divested of said interest the businesses frequently tend not to recognize the conflict of interest. Many government contract industries by contrast have extensive laws and regulations intended to do just as you suggest. All theses rules however did not stop the favoritism and regulatory capture that has historically allowed only a few players to dominate such fields.
The reason is quite simple as above explained, the capture is the self-interest and familiarity of the people making and enforcing the rules. This is why unfortunately no amount of rules will ever get enforced to prevent said abuse of power.
The problem is the power itself exist in the hands which cannot be practically held accountable for such abuse. In the case of the Federal government this is a product of obscuring distance from the people and sheer number of issues to address in a limited number of election cycles.- +1 y
@monorprise But there is an answer you just delude yourself into thinking it is not possible and it cannot work just because you dont want to tarnish your pride and admit it that capitalism has failed it is a failed experiment and the true answer to all of humanity's ailments that your ego has blinded you to see what clearly is right in front of you is Communism. But the brainwashing you have undergone and been taught will never allow you to consider any other system besides capitalism even though you can clearly see the problems within it...
Opinion Owner+1 y@vald9inches I have worked in industries where such rules were clearly in place, and have seen how they make no difference.
The problem with such rules is they completely miss the nature of the problem being inherit in the power itself being held by people who cannot be held accountable for misusing almost any of it.
If you want to blame "Capitalism" for government officials running private industry via such excessive micro-managing rules then i think you don't know what capitalism is. May have confused it for a form of socialism.
The truth is as i said before the problem is the power itself. Our system of Federal Government in which we elected 536 federal politicians every 2-6 years is completely incapable of holding any one of them accountable for the miss-management of more than a few issues, much less the thousands they have accumulated control over via 200+ years of largely uninhibited usurpation.
If you believe otherwise, then you must agreed with the choices taken place under every politician on every issue you ever voted for.- +1 y
You dont get it do you? its not government getting rich from corporations ruling with an iron fist as you seem to think it is. Its corporations bribing politicians and presidents if they themselves do not work for corporations! CORPORATIONS ARE THE GOVERNMENT! How can you be so blind to this fact? And thats why i dont vote or partake in this corrupt intentionally broken system
Opinion Owner+1 y@vald9inches Your assertions are not making any sense. I am not blind to the fact that federal politicians and administrators do the bidding of the highest bidder. I am telling you why they do that and how its unavoidable.
You cannot prevent this because there are too many direct and indirect ways to do it, including the most obvious of them all campaign donations.
