American food, like many other aspects of American culture, has benefited greatly from conflict elsewhere in the world: people forced to leave their homes who then come here, and/or Americans discovering new foods while "over there." Should we feel guilty? Or just eat and enjoy?

I'm certainly not happy about conflict in other parts of the world. But I enjoy travel and learning about new cultures, and food is such an important part of understanding foreign cultures.
