Koramei posted:This is one of those things I think has improved dramatically in recent years, most of the foreign (western-style; other non-Asian stuff is still sparse) I’ve had in Korea has been pretty good, and the best pizza I’ve had in my life was in Busan (and I live in NYC). Oh sure you can get decent stuff. I'm just saying the average, generic "foreign food" is almost certain to be horrible. Like in Chengdu there are hundreds of places to get an insane, terrible pizza and two good ones. Go to those two and you'll get an excellent pizza, but if you rolled the dice and got a random one it's almost certain to be the worst decision you've made that week. My town in Korea had one place that sold decent bread. It's not that you can't get it, it's that there were hundreds of places to buy bread in the city and only the one where it was recognizable. I still think about the "rye" loaf I got that was purple, sweet, and full of corn (and contained no rye). It's a little better than when I first lived there but I think the real improvement is information, it's easy to find the places that are actually good now.

Okay yeah this is fair, I’d always go based on reviews; I’m still haunted by the one time I went into Mr. Pizza out of curiosity without checking first. In Seoul and Gyeonggi though there’s no shortage of good stuff these days. IMO it’s because Koreans vacation like they did not used to and have more of a sense of what these foods are actually supposed to be like.

After a while it can be fun though, once you've stopped having expectations and you can enjoy the inherent comedy of a taco with whipped cream on it.

I suspect you're right, quite a few of them just seem very specific. For example, I have never seen or heard of a Singaporean restaurant in my life, and the culinary scene is fairly cosmopolitan over here. Some of those countries must have basically none of them.

My only guess is most people just call it spaghetti with meat sauce instead of bolognaise? There are a lot of Americans with vaguely Italian heritage who have strong secondhand opinions about food.

Now that I think about it, just recently my dad went out to eat with a former colleague, and apparently their choice of restaurant was rather limited due to her 'traditional' palate. That is to say, nothing ethnic. This is not a common attitude to have, though, and it's influenced by factors like background and social class. I would say most people here are open to trying new things. Also none of our 'cities' count as actual cities except Antwerp and maybe Ghent, but obviously it's still Leuven that's the greatest one.

Chifa (Peruvian Chinese food, basically) is great, as are both potatoes and pasta with Huancaina sauce. Ceviche is wonderful in all its forms (except Colombian), but the Peruvian version is the best. And let's not forget the cuy, I know people are hesitant to eat guinea pigs, but they're tasty.
