“The point of the white people's meal is to learn what it feels like to be dead, but I've taken two bites and it was so bad it made me realize how alive I am."
These are hilarious. But there’s a tidbit in there about the “996” work thing in China. 9am-9pm 6 days a week. That’s terrible. How do you do literally anything else?
Feels like yet another article that just makes you want to get upset with another group of people.
I don't take that so serious, for me it's hilarious :-)
yeah in general of all the international banter, food banter seems like the most harmless, most funny, and generally least mean-spirited of the lot
I’d say that that applies to regional foods as well with barbecue being the notable exception. The BBQ wars are still being fought to this day. Everyone knows eastern North Carolina vinegar based pulled pork is the best. Don’t @ me, the state of Texas. Lol
This is must be an argument conducted while talking with your mouth full. “Mwafmuh…Ours is better. Pass the slaw.”
"the BBQ wars" oh my god 😂
Though I won't turn down any BBQ that tastes good, I am definitely team vinegar base.
Carolina vinegar based pulled pork
Is that related to mustard based bbq? Mustard based is my favorite ♥
“Lunch of suffering”. I’ve definitely had a few of those desperation meals at my desk.
Let them have their fun. We make enough jokes about their food already.
Remeber the "Are you going to eat that?" Meme.
The article is hilarious, I had a great laugh!
The Guardian also has an article about it: https://www.theguardian.com/food/2023/jun/15/lunch-of-suffering-plain-white-people-food-goes-viral-in-china
White people have a rich history of pairing things that don't belong to be eaten together. (see: ham banana hollandaise)
also the entirety of 1970s savory jello abominations
They would be far from the first. There is a long tradition in the US of making fun of white people food, whether it is the entire cuisine native to the island of Britain or the more contemporary food blogger who for some reason is compelled to put raisins and walnuts in raw collard greens and eat it. I won't deny that I've had ranch dressing on pizza in my life and I'm not going to pretend that isn't nuts.
