quite true.

Also, I live in Seattle, for God's sake. It would be statistically impossible for an omnivore like me not to have had fresh fish and Thai food. :)



damn. am hungry now.

I always say the same thing about the S.F. Bay Area -- I mean, Thai is what you get when you're lazy and want takeout, right? *g*

Most of the things on that list that I haven't had are meats (kangaroo, reindeer, barramundi) that are rare in the U.S. and may only be available frozen. Or possibly not at all, regarding kangaroo. Also durian, though I think durian may now be available frozen in some Asian markets.

What the heck is "cream tea?"

[eruthros]

I think Americans usually say "high tea" to mean the same thing -- tea with (mandatory) scones and clotted cream and jam and (optional) little cucumber sandwiches and things.
