Some of us have looked at a map, or have an interest in cricket.
Oh this is going to be a fun thread :redface:


Well there is a stereotype that bengalis/bangladeshis eat a lot of fish but then again it can just be the cuisine :s-smilie:

Nah I hate fish it's a big thing in my culture but I hate it especially in curry. Fried fish is ok
I've heard the banter stereotypes and jokes about: fish focused diet, very wealthy curry restaurant owners, lavish gold wedding gifts to the bride and automatic full first cousin marriages almost every generation.

half bangladeshi but the main stereotype is that we eat fish a lot :s-smilie: in my case it isnt that true,and my two siblings are both allergic to fish (no joke) so we don't eat it often haha,and yes quite a lot of my family do own restaurants
