poppy_apocalypse, The funniest taco I’ve ever seen came from a white owned Mexican restaurant. Taco Bell shell, ground beef, and shredded cheese. That’s it. Calling that a taco is offensive.
queermunist, Oh we had these at school too.
Came with a little bit of shredded lettuce and the dryest fresh chopped tomatoes possible.
Alaskaball, holy shit they actually put avocado in it. Isn’t that too offensive for the tongue of the white midwesterner?
SerLava, I just realized that this is the most logical recipe that could be created by someone who doesnt know what a ripe avocado is
ElChapoDeChapo, Committing cultural genocide on Iowa would vastly improve the lives of everyone there
Adkml, Committing actual genocide on them would improve their lives.
Pretty sure it would qualify as a mercy killing.
JohnBrownsBussy2, While I live on Liberal Mountain, I can testify that Iowa seems to have no culinary tradition. It’s south of Midwestern German/Scandanvian/Polish food, and north/east of the Southern/Tex-mex food.
bdonvr, As someone who lived in Kansas ditto
They had a weird thing about Cinnamon Rolls and Chili. Together.
Maoo, What
queermunist, Yup, every two weeks for school lunch. Also the chili is basically just thick tomato soup with bits of stuff in it.
Adkml, The whole Cincinatti tradition of putting chili on top of spaghetti seems weird until you realize that by “chili” they mean ragu, ground beef and maybe a little salt.
They’re just so completely useless at cooking they think a basic meat sauce is “chili”.
queermunist, It has salt, to the Midwestern pallet that means its spicy. 😞
Maoo, Dear God
DoiDoi, need to figure out how to suspend guac in an elaborate jello mold and this chef will win whatever the iowa equivalent of a michelin star is. And like, I’m sure they’ll come to realize this, but the sour cream is served on top of the jello salad. It’s like this mofo has never been to an excruciating family gathering in the rural south before
queermunist, the iowa equivalent of a michelin star is
The Michelin Tire
AutomatedPossum,
SoyViking, I can only begin to imagine the suffering the Mexican chef goes through every day, having to make that slop.
Adkml, They solved that problem by refusing to hire any minorities to work in theiir mexican restaurant.
PKMKII, The chef also stated cottage cheese can be substituted for the cream cheese and ketchup for the Tabasco if the crowd looked especially not spice tolerant.
See, this right here is why white genocide is justified
panned_cakes, One of the most confusing parts. Cream cheese is pungent to these people.
FnordPrefect, Oh FUCK, I tasted something! oooaaaaaaauhhh
queermunist, (edited ) It wasn’t until I learned how to cook for myself that I realized how truly bland the “”“food”“” is here.
Folks? They don’t rinse their canned beans! They use ketchup as a barbecue sauce! Black pepper is too spicy!
PKMKII, Do they drain their beans?
queermunist, No, they don’t want to “waste” the “juice”
I thought I hated beans for years because of this shit.
PKMKII, Ugh, I don’t rinse my beans but I do drain them. Otherwise you’re just getting a massive salt bomb (only exception is reserving a little when making hummus).
SerLava, I always thought “white people eat bland food” was a stupid stereotype, or perhaps something from Mexico, Korea, Thailand, or some other place that eats hot food, and that by bland they just meant “not hot”. In my experience white people in Hawai’i didn’t really eat more or less bland food than everyone else.
Then I went to the Midwest
queermunist, The Midwest blended the blandest foods from Germany, England, and France.
Texmex has slowly infiltrated but the Midwestern pallet can’t handle it.
Adkml, Where I’m from is whiter than old dog shit but the “local” cuisines at least have flavor and spice.
It was wild the first time I got a slice in the Midwest and they somehow managed to have three distinct layers of bread, sauce, and toppings which somehow were completely distinct and did not interact with each other at all.
It should be considered a skill to be able to cook the flavor out of stuff the way they do.
queermunist, Hmm, how should we cook broccoli? Should we grill it? Fry it? Bake it?
No!
Boil that shit until it turns green-grey and serve it with several tbsp of butter!
Adkml, What if we find a way to cook it that not only makes it taste like stale water it also removes half the nutrients from it?
SkingradGuard, The butter is the most flavourful thing on the plate michael-laugh
PKMKII, The Midwest: where garlic is considered an exotic, extreme flavor
sooper_dooper_roofer, the midwest
aka the whitest place on earth: “mid” and “west”
KhanCipher, They don’t rinse their canned beans!
That’s completely fine depending on what you’re doing. Essentially if you’re dumping a can of beans right into something that’s going to dilute the liquid (like say a pot of chili), it’s completely fine and hardly noticeable.
queermunist, (edited ) I notice. The difference in chilli is night and day, it’s way too starchy. I thought I hated beans for years because of that shit 😠
buh, Now I understand why the guys in Slipknot are so angry
