Everybody has opinions. If the guy from Bhutan can answer and remain calm in a situation, it tells you where we are these days. Come on, Cuisine? It that such a difficult and "rarely" used word?
Regardless on how the interviewer comes off, you can either say "no" to the interview or be ready to take it and handle with confidence, joke or serious.
I don't think it is healthy to defend our people for everything. Clearly, this guy was lost and confused. He should have stuck with Nepali translater or simply said "No"
