I just do not know where I would get the idea of you being Euro-Centric.?
Perhaps it was reading such as this?
"Cooking terminology is not complicated but it is extensive. All cooking
processes and techniques have specific English and/or French terminology.
All the processes of cooking
described in any other language can also be described in English. While
foods (dishes) are ethnic dependent, cooking terms are not. and then this
"this is an English language newsgroup. Other
languages are certainly not banned, but have a lesser impact" and here I
thought this was as it was labeled; a Mexican Cooking newsgroup. little did
I know the Mexican cooking must define itself in Anglo/Franco terminology.

"Using proper English terms for cooking makes it easier" . I have to ask
for who?
