One time I talked to an acquaintance about why she hadn’t tried the best taco truck that I love that is literally next to her house.

@aehdeschaine @fifilamoura there’s a whole genre of food that is ‘Asians hired by colonial Europeans to make food for them, ended up jazzing up their food’
I love Hainanese ‘British’ food, it’s so fun. It’s like curry chicken pot pies and black pepper steaks and really old school food from the early 1900s with more pepper and curry and soy sauce

@sashin @skinnylatte having spent a few years in the Midwest in the 70s, I can concur that the (mostly) Norwegian-Americans I knew did not like seasoning. It was really odd.
-
@kimlockhartga @sashin oh you were there for peak flavor fear too. Also when they were afraid of fat I think

One time I saw an internet discussion about ‘what are some things that cause your society to ostracize you?’
The Americans said ‘not liking dogs’
The Singaporeans said ‘not liking food’

@skinnylatte the. lack. of. flavor. comforting … I’m… I’m speechless.
That might explain British food.

@aulia these people tend to be Nordic descended tho. I don’t usually associate the Nordics with worse food than the UK, but there is something about suffering and food and not allowing yourself to enjoy anything that is very interesting. (I blame Lutheranism. Some Dutch and Germans are like this too)
-
@skinnylatte I’m still dumbfounded

@skinnylatte religions can really ruin people
-
@aulia I don’t get it. You couldn’t get me to convert to a cult or religion if great and amazing food wasn’t part of the deal

I know someone from Saskatchewan who, when he was his a kid, his mom did not use seasonings. Like not even the mildest of herbs
He's old now, but he still cooks that way. It's just what tastes good to him

@NilaJones I would be fine with that if people also got the best ingredients!
