Is Afghani Asian or Ethnic?

Also, is Polish food really a major option? In Chicago it is, but I’m a little surprised that it is in New York.

Afghani should be a category of its own; Italian can go under “Ethnic” or “ugh, why not something else?”

Polish is a major option in certain areas, anyway. Sought it out with my parents, once.

written last night prior to seeing this post:

// some false positives like "Nor," "'Hee-haw!'" (including the quotes, from theoriginal)
var enforceEndingPunct = function(lines) {
  let re = /[.?!]$|^$/,
      finalPunct = config.finalPunct || `.`;
  // TODO: elaboration, if not defined, see what's most common? or some other heuristic
  lines = lines.map((l) => re.test(l) ? l : l + finalPunct);
  return lines;
};

More people in NYC have Italian ancestry than any other ancestry, so Italian would basically be “food”.

“ugh, why not something else?”

@GulliverFoyle

Perhaps American, since Americans eat everything? To quote Colbert, America’s national food: food.

I can’t help mentally replacing American with white

@ugh

and referring to some generic “ethnic” cuisine is just not cool, as is lumping together all Asian cuisine (yet it gives sushi its own category, for whatever reason).

I read it as various levels of subsets, like “Ethnic” covers everything that’s not found at Cracker Barrel, “Asian” narrows that down to only Asian foods (including sushi), and “Sushi” just limits you to sushi. So the larger, vaguer categories are inclusive, and just give the roller more choice.

I guess that gives you a 50/50 shot of being able to order a panini, but only a 33% chance of having escargot or tapas. And less than a 17% chance of scoring a Big Mac. But if you really like sushi, you have a 67% chance of being able to order it.
