Truly, our world has gone insane. So if a two-year-old says "yuk" to asparagus, that's OK, I guess, because that food is not "foreign." But if he tries chow mein and says "yuk" then the kid is.....racist?
England, what has happened to you? These twits need to be booted out to do honest work
Toddlers who turn their noses up at spicy food from overseas could be branded racists by a Government-sponsored agency.
The National Children's Bureau, which receives £12 million a year, mainly from Government funded organisations, has issued guidance to play leaders and nursery teachers advising them to be alert for racist incidents among youngsters in their care.
This could include a child of as young as three who says "yuk" in response to being served unfamiliar foreign food.

That's ridiculous. So anyone who doesn't like kimchi (tasty, tasty kimchi!) is racist? I really don't think so.

PEP, I like this story. It's good stuff.
An interesting one, from the nation that boils their food to death, where Curry is the country's number one favourite food and where they look at you with surprise if you tell them the humble potato was originally a foreign import.
If it wasn't for all that 'foreign muck' we'd starve to death!

The potato is foreign! I thought is was discovered in the Leicester area by Walkers.

what about people who only eat foreign food, but not British food? Does that make us un-patriotic?

I only eat Chinese and Filipino food and hate the blandness of english food. I have lived in Asia for the last 8 years and my diet has improved. I am a British patriot, god damn I served to protect my country for 22 years. Who are these The National Children's Bureau a bunch of 2nd generation imigrants with a racialist chip on their shoulders is a good guess.
