It is true that there is a wide variety of food in both different parts of the USA and Europe - I travel abroad about 25 times per year and have for the last 28 years. It is always worthwhile trying the local specialities off the beaten track. Restaurants near tourist areas need not seek loyal customers as potential new ones are passing all the time - quality usually suffers. I know most Americans never travel abroad (I heard only 9% have a passport) there is plenty of variety already at home! cheers Frank On Sunday, November 9, 2003, at 06:35 am, Eric Welch wrote: > I didn't think so. > > And there is such a variety in the U.S. I don't see how anyone could > claim they could know what American tastes are.
