[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4043918, member: 24302"] I've watched all of Bourdain's shows. I've never once seen him chide Americans for arrogance and ignorance. Closest to that was when he visited Laos, which was heavily bombed in Vietnam War. He was about informing and enlightening. And I've seen him make very sour faces over some of the food he tried. You are guilty of elitism here to some extent. For example in the country Kyrgyzstan out in the countryside they will waste very little and commonly eat horse, as well as drink fermented mare's milk. In the capital Bishkek however you can find it, but most people want to eat Western food, and are much more likely to eat pizza and hamburgers. You shouldn't assume that these nations are all eating very different things than we are. More accurate to say they eat what's locally available the poorer they are, and the West has a huge influence on what those with money have to eat. [/QUOTE]
