And you accuse Americans of being arrogant. The reality is that most people like and find comfort in whatever they are raised on. In the region where I am, most locals think a big bowl of pinto beans with big chunks of onion, a side of collard greens, and a cake of cornbread is the best meal ever. It's not because it's a good meal. It's what they grew up on. Some like to take their cornbread and break it up in a glass of milk (some like onions in it too). Personally, I'd starve if those where my only options. I'd also die of dehydration if any coffee product was the only beverage available.
