    It's a matter of linguistics but to me "Mediterranean food" is eastern Mediterranean, like Greece down to Egypt.

    Italian and Moroccan would definitely need to be referred to as their own thing for me to understand.

      I once had this conversation with a Japanese person.

      J: "I feel like Asian food for dinner tonight."

      Me: "What, like Japanese food?"

      J: "No, no, Japanese food isn't Asian."

      Me: "Then... Chinese?"

      J: "No, that's its own thing. I mean like... Asian food."

      Me: "Korean?"

      J: "No, Korean food is Korean food. I want Asian."

      Me: jesse-wtf
