Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Many Asian restaurant owners in the UK are fearful
that they may no longer be able to staff their kitchens with workers from their homelands, according to a recent article in The Times. Pending
restrictions from the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality bill would force the owners of Chinese and Indian takeaway
(takeout to us Americans) restaurants to employ workers from eastern Europe over workers of their own nationalities.
Troubled restaurant owners have cited language barriers and other cultural differences as the main obstacles in
employing non-Asian cooks, claiming that a cultural background is necessary to prepare authentic food. The proposed
bill would allow citizenship to some skilled workers of non-European origin, but many unskilled workers would be
provided little in the way of rights to settle in the UK.

I understand you say that we can cope with having slightly different taste from having a person with a different cultural background that the food their cooking, but Taco Bell is far from qualifying as Mexican food. They have a dish called "Mexican Pizza" The only kind of pizza you will find in Mexico is the same you will find anywhere else: cheese and tomato sauce!

I see lots of non-Mexicans working in Taco Bell--even some Chinese.
And western style "Chinese food" bears little resemblance to the real thing. They'll learn to cope.
