Check out the X-treme multinational meal I had at Whole Foods tonight.
Clockwise, from the fork: mashed potatoes (American, delicious); garlicky green beans (generic Asian, pretty tasty); potatoes (Indian) on a bed of extraordinarily dry basmati rice (Indian, although they would never claim it); asparagus (generic Asian, kinda nasty); teriyaki chicken (pseudo-Japanese); General Tso's chicken (pseudo-Chinese).
They're in the process of renovating this Whole Foods, and it is now perfect for people like me who use it to eat dinner before choir rehearsal - about a third of the floor space is various salad-bar-type things, including hot food and about a dozen soups. It's delicious variety.
Yes, there are many reasons why one would not want to eat one's dinner from salad-bar-type things. I saw one of them in sharp detail tonight, when I wandered over to check out the seafood bar and saw a dude testing the temperature of the shrimp. He laid one careful, meaty index finger on one shrimp in each of two different warm shrimp trays. Dude. That is so not ok. But I prefer to imagine that no one would ever do that with the green beans, at least not the ones all the way at back of the bin, and ate my dinner in peace.

Ohmygosh! This whole foods has at least four of the salad-bar-type things, but there's no dessert one!! There is, I forgot to mention, a giant pizza oven. When you get pizza, they ask if you want to warm it up...and then shovel it into the giant (flaming) oven.
