What are all the ethnic foods you've ever eaten? (lemm.ee)

There are some exotic foods we tend to take for granted exist. Almost every city for example has a Chinese restaurant, a Mexican restaurant, and maybe an Outback Steakhouse. But this isn't universal for some reason. Someone asked me if I wanted to go to an Egyptian restaurant and I was like "wait, they have restaurants?"

A question for all those who would say they consider themselves ethnically fluent. What are all the cultural categories of food you've had?

That’s why my list includes bread

I mean you can't have milk and just water. Milk has things in it that wouldn't be good for someone in as much excess as someone needs water.

I try to only drink it from white boobs, so it’s got balanced nutrition. It’s my substitute since I cant have chocolate or banana soylent.

You can't live on breast milk either, plus it would lead to abnormal growth and you'd need to alternate between women as we don't have an infinite supply of breast milk in our bodies.

You think bread can replace water?

Bread can contain water, though only briefly
