It's so weird how meat-forward American food culture is that Americans who don't eat meat every day will say to me "yeah I'm basically vegetarian I don't eat meat *every* day" like????? Please I'm begging you to consider other forms of protein the human body is not meant to only eat meat, we are omnivores.

Like. It was honestly pretty easy for me to switch to a vegetarian diet because I grew up in a kosher household and kosher meat is *expensive* so we only had meat on Shabbat (once a week). But then I'll talk to other Americans and they'll talk about eating meat every day and I'm like??? How???

I think humans are meant to eat meat and I think expecting everyone to give it up is wrong, but c'mon this is not sustainable you do not need to be eating meat every single day.

Why is America so meat obsessed?????

Air Fryer Salmon Recipe

An easy polish made with honey, mustard, and garlic gives this salmon dish a ruptured of zesty, slightly sweet taste. The air fryer makes it a breeze to cook in just 10 minutes, and we love how it makes use of much less electrical energy and doesn’t create as much heat as a bigger, standard oven– especially valuable in the summer season.

Prepared together with the asparagus, the salmon will appear completely, however you may choose to cook each individually if you do not have room for both in your air fryer. Offer with a baked potato or rice for a satisfying dish that’s fast and easy and adequate to prepare any type of evening of the week. You can also bake potatoes airborne fryer or roast creamer potatoes and maintain them warm while the salmon cooks.

This shit bothers me. Why does nobody talk about Papajohns?

Sure, I’ll readily admit that the founder is a nutjob whacko, but unlike Dominoes and Pizzahut, they have GREAT fucking service and a functioning website. Like sure, the service varies but the site? The site doesnt log you out every 5 seconds, the rewards points dont expire over time, and more importantly, they have actually fucking responsive UIs that dont try to have a seizure if you’re not attentive.

I also will admit, their food is not anywhere near as good as the competitors, but it is atleast enjoyable, and makes ordering not some agonizing war against incompetence you have 0 control over.

And their prices are shit. Thats the only reason I don’t use them more than like 3 times a year.

i’m thinking about how numerous depictions of american kids hating like brussels sprouts reinforced the ‘ew vegetable are stinky’ and need for products/recipes with ‘hidden veggies’. when I was little some european relatives made this wonderful purple cabbage dish and i loved it. it was my favorite color, still crisp, and seasoned perfectly. I say that because the more I reflect on what non-american kids eat (including throughout africa, asia, and elsewhere) the more I feel like the idea that ‘kids hate vegetables so they should have a special separate category of less nutritious foods’ is, perhaps, an american invention

the thing about culture that's difficult for a lot of people it seems to me is that "culture" is not some ontologically coherent Blob where you can sit at the table and someone will serve it to you and you get to just sit there and Receive it. or, it's not something you can dig up and carefully extract unchanged, if you sit carefully enough at your books, and then put on your mantle to admire. i'm a motherfucker whose career is about digging things up from books so i get the appeal, and yet that's not what Culture is, because culture is what you Do. so you already have one. what food do you eat? where do you live? what rituals do you perform? do you take your shoes off when you go inside?

culture is distinct from religion and ethnicity (though obviously it's interrelated with both), and deeply related to the place you live now and its customs and foodways and norms for politeness and hospitality, and what other populations live around you in the place you live now. trying to connect to the mystical immigrant old-country past of your ancestors is unlikely to get you the results you're looking for - culture is something you do every day and i promise you already have one. and you're already doing it. which means that you can also just as easily change the things you do if you don't like them.

#like my family is bicultural and not biracial AND i grew up in a different part of the country than the US side of my family did. #AND there are additional complications for me specifically but like. my dad makes amazing southern food but is limited by what #is easy to get in new england. my mom is horrified by the immigrant-american versions of food she's used to. this is normal and natural. #the old-country culture has changed without the populations who left and they have their own vested interest in what that past looks like.

The thing is. Bad/gross food is rarely a DISH - when food is bad it's because it's been badly made, whether because of skills or available ingredients. but a dish p much only exists recognisably and has a name because someone likes at least one version of it.

which is to say. there isn't really a way of naming a dish, school of dishes or specific food culture and going EW ISN'T THIS DISH UNILATERALLY CONCEPTUALLY DISGUSTING without denigrating quite a lot of people.

like you don't have to like it in any form. but it's eaten and shared because it's good to a not insubstantial number of people when cooked right.

(and I don't really understand how you approach that with total incuriosity when it's a dish you haven't tried like. ARE rocky mountain oysters good? Maybe! I would very much eat some to find out!!!!)

this is actually something the British food poll did in a way the American ones I've seen haven't really - they described how the food they're imagining is, specifically, badly prepared (grey meat and veggies; unseasoned shepherd's pie). which is wildly tipping the scales by calling it British Food but. like. that is an on point definition of why that food is gross.

(this also applies to American chocolate, which like. Broad category but I think most of us understand this refers to low-cocoa high-sugar chocolate, probably with bucolic acid. so we are being invited to imagine Badly Made Chocolate not. the concept of chocolate)

personally I just think it's very rarely a good or funny idea to shittalk how gross any given food culture is. partly because food is important and culturally evocative for most people, partly because it's very...alienating? to be like WHO COULD EAT SUCH A THING? just because you wouldn't, and largely because to be frank it says more about you than about the food that you have so little imagination or curiosity that you can't imagine why a food might be enjoyable to folks who aren't you.

yes this includes jello salad, I would like to try it. ONCE. if it wasn't appealing to someone it wouldn't be so widespread.

#red said #like. as if talking shit about people for eating offal or offcuts particularly hasn't always been hugely loaded in race and class terms #ewww can you believe filipinos eat tripe. can you believe Chinese people eat pig feet? #YEAH I CAN AND YOU SHOULD TOO. Those are normal parts of an animal to eat and it's weird that you think it's weird #but it's also. a really common racist trope right? like. how often does racist rhetoric mention food being 'weird' or 'smelling bad'? #because shitting on someone's food and calling it gross is a really good shortcut to shitting on them and their cultures #implying they're dirty or animalistic or cruel or undiscerning or have bad taste #this isn't crying RACISM AGAINST WHITE PPL btw #just saying. maybe in general we should shut the fuck up about finding entire schools of cooking gross #and it's interesting you know. bc Americans in the notes of the American food posts recognise there are race and class sensitivities there #but not that there might be similar sensitivities around mocking another country's food

my favorite thing in the world as a Jewish-American and as a person with BPD is black and white cookies

they are a staple in Jewish delis and were invented by Jewish immigrants in NYC

i joke about them being bpd cookies bc of black and white thinking

they are so good, probably my favorite dessert food

this is why i get annoyed when people make fun of american food like there are SO many different cuisines here and so much influenced by immigration along with settler-colonialism so like yes there's french names for food in louisiana there's also words in hundreds of languages for various foods i have news about the history of the united states

also usually its like "americans are so fat and lazy all they eat is fried food" 1. fried food is delicious fuck off 2. fast food is not what most people eat in their houses just like it's not what most people in any country eat at home it's convenience food in a deeply capitalistic country 3. check your fatphobia and diet culture at the door please

not saying cellbit is doing this he's not even talking about it anymore he's busy slamming crazy brazilian pizzas it just annoys me every time i see people make fun of american food like yes haha burger but also. long history of immigration and colonization means foodways are complicated, shocker

#bell.txt #its just funny to me every time like yes americans dont just eat mcdonalds & theres a ton of food that developed because of cultures meetin #just like for example brazilian stroganoff (nothing like the russian version)

another attempt on the concept of salmonid traditional art

#splatoon #salmon run #splatoon salmonid #salmonids #splatoon salmon run #see look i think a pretty significant chunk of salmonid art would be centered around food and the making of food #bc yk food is such an integral part of their culture #also just for the record: this art style is inspired heavily off of the art style of north-west native american tribes #i fell down a rabbit hole of research when i learned on the wiki that the canon salmonid culture was inspired by them #super cool stuff! i hope to be able to see some of their art in person someday..... sadly i live on the east coast #boiledegg art

I’m so tired of just being “African American”

When I really think about it, I’m so tired of it. When people think about African Americans— even when African Americans think about ourselves, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Slavery. Discrimination. Pain. Endurance. Why do WE have the be the face of pain? Our people’s culture is NOT pain. Our culture is NOT slavery. Our culture is NOT just rebellion. Our culture is NOT facing racism. We are so much more than that. When you learn about African Americans it’s never about our music, our inventions, our food, our style, our way of life. It’s always about being at the end of the stick. We were never taught the BEAUTY of African Americans. Only the worse. I know because of what we experienced, IS a big part of our culture, but come on. Social injustice isn’t the only thing we consist of. Like I said, I know it’s important to be taught. Im just tired of always the “inferiority” being taught about us and not anything else’s beyond that.

I also feel like that’s part of a reason why people are so comfortable with just constantly taking from us. Taking from our culture. Because point one, they’re ignorant. And point two all there really is to “African Americans” if slavery and discrimination.

Who are we? Who are African Americans outside of just being the face of social injustice. The short end of the stick. I know some people may make a face while reading this, but it’s just how I feel. I am proud of my people and proud of what we fought for. How we did it. And how far we have come. It’s understanding of, if you’re African American, who are you to yourself? Who are your people to you? And if you’re not African American it’s an understanding of who are we to you? And on neither side, should it just be the face of injustice.

- I dare to mention that I’m a little bit afraid how people may feel about this. But I only hope to find people who agree, and perhaps even put a thought or two in the heads of the ones that don’t.
