It just looks like someone is trying to be controversial to get a bit of
attention. We can't all be expected to know all the ingredients and
condiments of other cultures.

There is a grocery store in Niagara Falls where I usually go for various
ethnic ingredients because they have a great selection and it is laid
out by ethnicity, making it easy to find my way around. They have a
section for eastern European foods, likes jams and jellies, pickled
vegetables, sauerkraut etc. There is one for Hispanic foods that has
spices, hard and and soft tortillas, salsas and sauces. Next to that
are the Caribbean foods. One the other side of the aisle are middle
eastern, Asian and south Asian foods. The freezer section is also
divided into various ethnic sections. They clientele don't seem to mind.
On the contrary, they have a very diverse range of shoppers.
