That's true in America too no? Like from my experience even fairly large towns just have the major fast food brands and not much else, unless they're on the southern border.
I think that's kind of true. There's no "traditional" restaurants from other countries, but in every small town in America you can have a choice between "Italian" food(both "fancy" restaurants like olive garden and pizza) "Chinese" food, "Mexican" food and the occasional gyro shop, German place or Indian place.
Yeah same in Europe for the most part. There are a few places I've been that are very rural and traditional, that don't have that, especially out east or in countries like Italy, but most towns have your typical Chinese, Italian and indian/Greek/Turkish place sending on the specific area.
Not at all, this is just relevant because its one of the types of food I miss the most, but in my city in the US of like 500,000, there were like 5 Ethiopian restaurants. I now live in a European capital city, with millions of people. If I wanted Ethiopian food I'd have to go to another country.
Can I ask what city because there only 10 cities in Europe with a population in the multi millions and pretty sure all would have Ethiopian food even if its quite niche.
And I'm sure I could pick some big cities in the US that are missing certain cuisines that are common in Europe. Like does Charlotte NC or Jacksonville have any Polish restaurants? Or Morocco restaurants? As in my limited experience you'll be lucky to get a """European""" or """Mediterranean""" resturaunt at best outside of the most major cities with large inmigrsnt populations like LA and New York.
Prague, I've never seen a Polish restaurant here- though I'm sure it exists. And checking Google maps I can find 1 Moroccan restaurant here.
Also, there is a fair amount of good Polish food, its definitely far better than Czech food. But it's not at all comparable to Indian, Ethiopian, Chinese, or Korean foods which while they all exist in Prague(except Ethiopian) are generally much worse than in the US, unless you happen to know the basically secret menu items to order that aren't adapted to the local taste. The one thing I will say is far more abundant for quality than in the US is Vietnamese food here. And German Kebab but if I include fast food then I'll start ranting about how bad the pizza is here.
That explains a lot. Eastern Eruope isn't nearly as culturally diverse as the west/central..
I wonder why the American thinks the restursunts adapted to American tastes are better than the resturaunts adapted to Czech tastes.
I'm also Czech, but yes, Czech food is usually bland. Furthermore, I'm not talking about the American tastes, majority of my friends here are foreigners, I'm talking about the menu's adapted to Chinese and Indian tastes.
