America, Land of the Free

"Turkeys have no flavor. She trimmings are worse. Do Americans like turkey? I don't think they do." Pg.74

This shows how different food is in America compared to countries in the middle east. In the middle east the food is generally very spicy and it is very tasteful. In America there is some food like that but the majority of our food has practically no taste compared to the spicy foods of Iran. It is interesting to see what people coming from other countries might think of our food and how we eat.

"I'm recording all the shows we are missing on my VCR!" Pg. 80

I thought this was funny because it shows how Americanized they had become. In Iran they probably did not have a VCR to record things on. In America it is normal to just record the shows that you miss while you are doing some other activity that does not have to be done. TV is something that we can not miss, we can't miss our favorite shows, ever. So it surprised me that they fell into the American way of recording the shows they were missing while doing something as useless as going to a time-share seminar.
