Moderator Tommy 12,615 Posted October 20, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted October 20, 2022 Something a bit different today. Gnocchi with goat's cream cheese sauce, spinach, cherry tomatoes and basil pesto. Also the first time I made a pesto myself. It might not look like much, but it was very tasty. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everywhere has bad and good food, so I always find it really sad when people hold the food they are familiar with up on a pedestal, I know so many people like this and it’s really frustrating, I know people that treat German food like you treat English food, they find it repulsive and really bland. I’ve cooked great food for people, things like sauerbraten and roulade and they act like I’m serving up a pile of slop. I don’t understand why people get so fixated on specific things to the point of myopic. The picture you posted is sad as well, because all it is doing is shaming poor people and the food they eat that is readily available and cheap. I often ate beans on toast as a kid because we were poor, it’s not nice to look at but it is quite tasty and filling for a very low cost, why should I feel bad about it because we didn’t have much money? currywurst - curried sausage schnitzel - meat cutlets stolen - fruit cake blutwurst - blood pudding apple strudel - apple pie Bratkartoffeln - roast potatoes with bacon kartoffesalat - potato salad I wouldn’t shame anyone for labskaus.

They're iconic dishes (apart from the bottom two which looks like @CaaC (John)'s lunches ). But the food here is far from bland if people give an ounce of effort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub 2,508 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Pizza was also a dish for the poor. Some nations are just culinary superior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the fact taste is subjective, this doesn’t take into account economic, geographical, and culture factors. Not to mention they also like to eat cheese infested with maggots to break down proteins in the same country as pizza. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub 2,508 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Speaking of economic, cultural and geographical factors in cuisine most of the popular subcontinent dishes worldwide were actually the food of the Mughal aristocracy suited for a life of soldering. That's why South Asians have high rates of diabetes and heart diseases, modern life isn't suited for that diet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why South Asians have high rates of diabetes and heart diseases, modern life isn't suited for that diet. It's not even a phenomenon exclusive to South-Asia. Changing diets in the Indigenous communities of Australia, Mexico, the Philippines, North America are causing a huge increase to diabetes. In Mexico some communities don't even drink water, opting for high sugar carbonated drinks instead. Unfortunately that is also linked to diseases like gout and kidney stones.
