Can I ask what city because there only 10 cities in Europe with a population in the multi millions and pretty sure all would have Ethiopian food even if its quite niche.

And I’m sure I could pick some big cities in the US that are missing certain cuisines that are common in Europe. Like does Charlotte NC or Jacksonville have any Polish restaurants? Or Morocco restaurants? As in my limited experience you’ll be lucky to get a “”“European”“” or “”“Mediterranean”“” resturaunt at best outside of the most major cities with large inmigrsnt populations like LA and New York.

Prague, I’ve never seen a Polish restaurant here- though I’m sure it exists. And checking Google maps I can find 1 Moroccan restaurant.

Also, there is a fair amount of good Polish food, its definitely far better than Czech food. But it’s not at all comparable to Indian, Ethiopian, Chinese, or Korean foods which while they all exist in Prague(except Ethiopian) are generally much worse than in the US, unless you happen to know the basically secret menu items to order that aren’t adapted to the local taste. The one thing I will say is far more abundant for quality than in the US is Vietnamese food here. And German Kebab but if I include fast food then I’ll start ranting about how bad the pizza is here.

  That explains a lot. Eastern Eruope isn’t nearly as culturally diverse as the west/central…

  I wonder why the American thinks the restursunts adapted to American tastes are better than the resturaunts adapted to Czech tastes.

    I’m also Czech, but yes, Czech food is usually bland. Furthermore, I’m not talking about the American tastes, majority of my friends here are foreigners, I’m talking about the menu’s adapted to Chinese and Indian tastes.
