Hurray dude, sorry if I offended you. But with no such intention. My use of "family" was in a friendly way, i would have said the same thing to my cousins for that matter. No need to take it personlly, "mom" was used because she is the king of the kitchen. I myself think it is hilarious if i tell my own mom, hey mom don't put spices in the kashi today because it won't taste like kashi. She sure will think I went nuts or something. So relax, no bad intentions. As far as use of numbers 1%, you see I used the word "bet" which tells its just my personal feeling. I don't think anyone can come up with such number without being biased. If we do a statistical analysis on this thread only, so far there are 2 people who don't like nepali food and there are almost 70 posts (i am guessing at least 30 people), that makes it 6.66% not liking nepali food plus margin of errors. There you go, I am wrong. My original intention about this thread was favourite food, which you can see if you read my first two threads. But lot of people who started posting on this thread started to talk about Nepali food (which happens to be my fav. also). Thus the ideas began flowing and here we are. As of right now, 1083 views and 68 postings. Hope this clarify your concern.
