hmmm yes ok, you must be completely right.....
You obviously know about people who train and develop culinary skills in other countries,
but I actually didn't say anyone was inherently 'good' cooks of their food, just that Chinese Italians Mongolians Indians etc.. know it better and it is their food originally. The english or whoever are just stealing their dishes as we naturally don't go rice here and such also our digestive systems are not the same in every race so naturally people cook food they're accustomed to and so they would usually know it better from living in the country than someone who went there to learn it too
