"They love their food"

I'm sick of reading "The Italians/French/Thai/Japanese/whoever.. love their food". Who doesn't love their food, regardless of nationality? Surely, the only person who doesn't like food is a dead one?

    You know you're *not* a foodie when sour cream was used on 4 days of cheese lunch sandwiches and you didn't notice.

    Hey, the squeeze bottles look similar sorta.

    It’s because most of the ethnicities you labeled off are well known for creating feasts. They traditionally have lavish celebrations, full of more food than anyone could eat. Often they are told to “eat, eat” as the women in these areas spread their love through their food and find joy in their families being well fed.

    Surely everyone loves their food but not to the same extent or for the same reasons.

    Still, I think Mexicans and Italians do it best.

    The Irish love food too, that's why they came to America.

    I love food and I'm a mutt. Pretty sure our mutual love of food is what drove us all here eventually. :lol:

    Agree, but I'd add in the Greeks.

    We Persians love our food. The older women push food on you and if you dont eat it they get offended. That is why i always gain weight when visiting family.

    So have you - blue eyes and dark hair such a lovely combination. Ha! Sounds like a mutual admiration club :)

    All cultures and countries have feasts and celebration food. Citing one as better than another is just personal preference and based on what we know. I'm from Sri Lanka and find those coconut infused spicy dishes delectable but I appreciate it's just what I'm familiar with. I'm willing to try new things.
