I love how the typical contents of a kitchen around the world are a real reflection on that culture.

Here in the UK you can always find an electric kettle, without question. In Italy a Moka pot. In Japan a rice cooker.

It says a lot about what’s important to people.

It’s only really in the US that you see such a proliferation of hyper-specific kitchen gadgets. Smoothie maker, waffle maker, electric egg poacher, vegetable spiralizer…

I don’t know if that says anything about American culture, or just that you guys have really big kitchens.

In our culture this is understood to be a sign of deep seated emotional distress. And in accordance with our culture we ignore their distress and bring up the weather, as is tradition.
