1. “Asian-inspired.” Listen to me. Are you listening? Asia is a BIG-ASS CONTINENT. Lots of countries. Look at a map. A globe. Shit is FOR REAL. Stop using “Asian-inspired” as in “Asian-inspired food” when you probably mean “Chinese-inspired food” or “Japanese-inspired food,” because you probably…

I’ve been complaining about this shit for yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars. You’re going to get tired getting pissed off all the time.

(Also, there are really at least eight major different cuisines in traditional Chinese, so we could go on ad nauseum. Have y’all never watched Iron Chef before?)

In one of Nigella Lawson’s shows (I forget, she has tons), she mentioned that she loves southeast Asian flavors and begins to gather “southeast Asian” ingredients for something she was gonna make. These included: chilies, soy sauce, sesame oil, sake and dashi. Any trained chef would know that the last 2 are Japanese, and Japan isn’t part of southeast Asia last I checked. I now think she’s an ignorant bitch and I respect her a lot less. LOL

edit/ If she said she was doing “southeast Asian fusion” then I would’ve gotten it. To borrow a line from a classic movie, “God Karen, you’re so stupid!”
