It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Wait is he describing a shawarma? chicken, garlic sauce, pita, humus. Unno where the lunch meats would fit lmao.

But describe garlic sauce as flavourless, or the chicken as unseasoned..... mf has covid.

Is he talking about how white Americans try to make Mediterranean food? Because this is exactly the kind of thing my aunt would make when she was on the "Mediterranean diet"

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

does this mf think britain is mediterranean or what

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 year ago

probably thinks subway is mediterranean cuisine, based on that description

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago

I guess he really can't have an opinion about food, he doesn't even know what Mediterranean food is.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mediterranean food includes Italian, Greek, and Morrocan food, no? What is he on about ?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a matter of linguistics but to me "Mediterranean food" is eastern Mediterranean, like Greece down to Egypt.

Italian and Moroccan would definitely need to be referred to as their own thing for me to understand.

I once had this conversation with a Japanese person.

J: "I feel like Asian food for dinner tonight."

Me: "What, like Japanese food?"

J: "No, no, Japanese food isn't Asian."

Me: "Then... Chinese?"

J: "No, that's its own thing. I mean like... Asian food."

Me: "Korean?"

J: "No, Korean food is Korean food. I want Asian."

Me: jesse-wtf

knock off mayonnaise

It's only mayonnaise if it's made in america, otherwise it's just sparkling salad cream.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Which has been bastardized to mean whatever flavored mayo of fancy. Aioli is just garlic and oil, the name is a portmanteau!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

mayonnaise is just knock off cool whip anyway

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

When I'm feeling positive and a bit idealistic I smile and think "food is the universal language." I'm glad I can live in a world with all these diverse foods. Sharing cuisine is a beautiful experience. It's a great way to share a very intimate and beautiful part of your culture. If I make you "my" homemade wheat noodles I'm sharing a recipe that's over 100 years old, passed down. Learned it from my grandma when I was a kid.

Then there's this disingenuous fuck, here. Showing his ass for the world to see.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reminds me of this. My only counterpoint is 1) I'd eat that shit and 2) if you're out at night and you get gyro and tzatziki sauce on fries you'd change your tone.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

fr though

I have to face the rest of my life knowing I will never have a pita as good as that one time I was in Athens 5 years ago and that's terrifying tbh

Pure unadulterated copium that readily absorbs moisture in the air to form a hydrated salt.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Dogshit bread, boring lunchmeat, unseasoned chicken.

You just described white American "cuisine"

Knock off mayonnaise.

Mayonnaise is just disgusting, period. Any knock-off would be an improvement. True chads use hot sauce.

Ashkenazim Jews can have an opinion on food, right? We have bagels.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wrong mayo is delicious and has many applications. Like it can be applied to my mouth with a spoon.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like to squirt a packet of mayo in my mouth while eating a hard boiled egg. I call it a "mayonegg".

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I call it lazy egg salad, and have also done it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Due to your opinion you are advised to shut up in eastern europe unless you know how to swim in mayo.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Redcap mayo is good

The funniest part is when he looks around confused and says "he doesn't do anything?"

Christ it makes me laugh every time. A room full of professional comics couldn't time it better.

The landlord who uses racial slurs and has posted a picture of himself in blackface has bad takes. Who could have guessed?

I don't understand what food he's describing

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

cracker will never know what it's like to eat traditional Turkish food for all meals. Seeing this take, from an Amerikkkan of all people, after eating my grandmother's great imambayıldı (cw: pic has yoghurt) and being offered aşure reminds me that even good food has haters.

To be fair we stole an important amount of those great recipes. His take is that the region's cuisine is generally bad though(unacceptable).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That sure is a fun name for a food. Is it because it tastes so good it makes Imams faint in shock?

Why does this piece of shit even have an audience?

Yeah I get it. He used to be a freeze-gamer celebrity famous for... being a bigoted piece of shit.

I swear he gives off subsidized-by-feds vibes, like Andy Warhol.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Mediterranean cuisine is fairly fast down the list of my favourite cuisines though. Barring Italian. Italian is really quite something

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

are you saying you eatta da pizza?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

i believe he's saying he lika de sauce

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mediterranean food is great, probably one of my favorites, I especially like Spanish cuisine. But Greek, etc is great and of course Italian.
