Re: Do you eat at immigrant restaurants?
I can only understand eating in a Chinese, a Middle East Kebab or an American Burguer, as some form of gastronomic masochism.
Social compromises? They can't be any serious if they take you to one such place. At least not here. It wouldn't be the first time that I turn down a dinner gathering on a Chinese to go on my own to have some tapas, and then meet the people later somewhere else.
