mmmm....fattoush
i love me some middle eastern food, and i enjoyed our trip to jerusalems. i thought that the cuisine was authentic as was the atmosphere. Then again what do i know about authentic middle easter food i've never been to any of those countries. I think its a stereo typical american thought for us to know what is authentic for other countries and what is not. The fact that several of us were proudly displaying our crusader attire (myself included) was really the icing on the cake though....think about it.

First, you mispelled icing. Second, I really do believe that us, as Americans, often do assume that something is authentic when it really isn't....example: "Mexican Food"
ReplyDeleteFirst, Ryan, it's impolite to correct people's grammar in casual conversation. Second, it's even worse when you make a hypocrite out of yourself and misspell "misspelled."
ReplyDeleteThird, addressing Brian now, I believe there's a certain limit to authenticity; especially if the restaurant isn't on its own native soil. I mean you have to accommodate your patrons as much as possible, you can't go around speaking in another language and providing no silverware, right? It's the same in almost any other country. I mean, McDonald's serves beer in Germany for God's sake.
