      In the Bay Area we have lots of pizza places run by Indian people.

      Some of them will offer Indian style toppings, like paneer, which is actually pretty good.

        Slightly off topic.

        tl, dr = Hollywood star had a refugee do her nails. Realized that there were a lot of similar ladies who needed a way to make money.

        I’m guessing that there was someone who showed one Indian how to open a pizza place and they inspired/aided others.

        Yeah them too. The fondue restaurants are not run by the Swiss, but the Italians.

          Which would make sense if those Italians were from the Aosta Valley, since food and other culture doesn’t stop hard at the border. But I’m betting they’re not.

              As someone who moved downhill from there, yes, I’d agree. But things weren’t always like this, and when Americans say “Italian”, they really mean “someone whose great grand parents may have been Italian. At least some of them.”
