Blogging from A to Z —- the letter X

I thought this would be a hard one.  But …

 Xenophilia or xenophily is the love for, attraction to, or appreciation of foreign people, manners, customs, or cultures. It is the antonym of xenophobia or xenophoby. The word is a modern coinage from the Greek "xenos" and "philia", though the word itself is not found in classical Greek. 

I am somewhat of a xenophile.  I like reading about foreign cultures.  I enjoy travel, though I haven’t done nearly enough of that. I speak a little Spanish, I studied Hebrew, I’ve always wanted to learn French.  

And I really enjoy ethnic/foreign foods.

Let’s go to that Italian place for some calamari, chicken Marsala, eggplant rollatini.

Or do you prefer the Greek place?  Moussaka or gyros, perhaps?  You had me at  tzatziki.

Schnitzel at the German place?  Or kielbasa and cabbage at the Polish restaurant?  

French?  We can get coq au vin.

Tacos from the Mexican place or ropa vieja from the Cuban?

Too bad the Croatian place closed.

Oh, you want Asian food?  Chinese? Spare ribs and fried rice.

Maybe we should do Japanese instead, the hibachi place has good sushi.

Or Korean.  It’s been awhile since I’ve had Bulgogi or Bibimbap.

I didn’t realize that blogging would make me so hungry …
