That would be true of many cuisines named for their countries. Indian food and Chinese food have
very different subregions. Even in France you'll find the Meditteranean area differs from the North
and there's even the Basque subregion which is a whole different ethnic subgroup with their own
tastes. Yet we still refer to those general food labels and in reality people have a pretty good
idea what they're going to get to eat despite these subregion variations. If I go to a Chinese
restaurant I know I might get some Cantonese, or some Sezhuan, or some of both, but it's OK because
as long as they don't serve me bratwurst and saurkraut I'm not going to cry foul. |
