> That's true. But I bet even more people are cooking, eating tofu, or masala.

On the other hand, that rural grocery store is probably chock full of specialty items that are hard to get where those heavy tofu-eaters live, like cheese.

Different places have different cuisines, which means their grocery stores stock different stuff.

Worldwide sure, but I'm not sure that that is the case in rural America though.

In the US? Not a chance in hell. Especially in rural areas.

The only place you'll find tofu even in most suburban areas are at asian restaurants in their soups.

That makes sense, given that rural America is the topic.

Amusingly, saying: "...very hard to find masala for your curries or good tofu" is a thing someone says when they're not in touch and live in a bubble.
