I smiled as I heard this news from my homestay host about her international student's first experience with the great "American burrito!" Apparently, burritos are not as popular in Saudi Arabia! Seems silly--but this is what the homestay cultural experience is all about! Experiencing new things and another culture.

Are those over-sized mammoth tortillas from the likes of Moes or Chipotle another great "American invention"--I doubt it--especially since the burrito is Mexican in origin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrito! However, the experience for this Saudi student was indeed an American one! (Perhaps it's also a testament to the diversity of USA culture?)
