Gasp, shocking! 'nearly died of heart attack when reading that. Nobody
else than Americans would dare writing such other-simplifying
absurdities :-) <--- smiley, don't shoot, we Europeans usually don't
have firearms :-) <--- second smiley.

Indeed, the comparison is silly, but for a different reason : Asian
food, European food... this doesn't mean anything at all! What's in
common between Japanese, Chinese and Cambodian foods, or between
German, English, Spanish and Italian foods? Nothing. BTW, as a biased
arrogant French, I'm not allowed to judge the food of my country, but
of course you know what I think :-)
