I found this very "white people in middle america" centric (sorry but I'm banging my brain to find a better way to describe it).
My options as a beginner are 'greek salad', 'spaghetti & meatballs', 'cheeseburger', 'deli sandwich', 'avocado toast'. Even on advanced it only added 'scrambled eggs', and 'tomato bisque'
To put it another way I found it very non-inclusive.
Not that I expect one app to teach me all the world's cuisine but it would be nice to at least acknowledge up front the bias of the app in its description?
There's nothing wrong with teaching these things but they are not the "beginning" things for a great many cultures including cultures in the USA itself. I doubt the kids of most parents of Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Mexican, descent would start with these items.
Sorry if I'm not making any sense. I'm not trying to be negative. I'm just pointing out that the selection offered clearly shows a bias.
