“Is there a “Taste of America” in India, Daddy?*
“What is an expert? Someone who is 20 miles from home.”
Switch the subject to food and add a zero (or three), and you’ve just described one of the culinary (marketing?) world’s enduring truths.
And yes, the same phenomenon applies elsewhere; see “Minnesota Bratwurst — in Brooklyn!”
*My 8 year-old son’s question to me. My answer: ‘yes — it’s called ‘McDonalds.”
If you didn’t know, Taste of India is one of the Twin Cities’ best spots for Indian food. One of their specialties — and my son’s favorite: mango pudding.
