Head of Development: so once I was gifted a Thai recipe book by Ken Hom, he's Chinese but the recipes were gorgeous. Thai food is quite similar to Chinese food isn't it?

Me: *where is this going.. *

HoD: I blew my family's mind. I cooked them a beautiful green curry, following the recipe to a tee.

Me: *please stop talking before you say something that will make me want to crawl under this table*

HoD: so how often do you eat western food like this? *points at my fish and chips*

Me: erm at home Chinese food would be staple but western food isn't exactly rare..

HoD: if we flipped my scenario and you were to cook something British at home, what would it be?

Me: *wtf, I don't follow any recipes for food I grew up surrounded by at school and everywhere else. who does this man think I am? does he know how much I want to punch him right now? how is he head of learning and development here? is this considered racist? or just ignorant? or am I over thinking? do I have a right to feel angry right now? why is he still smiling?*

Me: I don't know, we do eat roasts you know..
