There's a certain type of cake you only really get in America, made with incredibly light sponge that is basically cooked air, covered in an ungodly amount of "cream", which is a strange white substance consisting, again, mostly of air. Maybe it's not an official protected designation, but it's a very distinct confection that you don't get in quite the same form in other countries. What you're describing sounds like generic cake in East Asia, I've never had anything like that in the US. E: A classic of the form. Yes, those are tomatoes.

Haifisch posted:Either that or they're assuming our cheap-rear end grocery store cakes(which is the closest thing I can think of to their weird description, and I know non-Americans are sometimes shocked by the amount of frosting on them) are the main thing we think of as cake, like how eurogoons seem to think Hershey's is the only American chocolate. To be fair, I as an American am also shocked by the amount of frosting on cakes. Everyone puts way too much on it. Honestly tho just on't talk to me about icing unless it's cream cheese icing. Also I made that chocolate cake with the can of Campbell's tomato soup in it and it was loving incredible. Didn't take any pics because it looked like normal chocolate cake. But try that recipe drat.

This is like people making GBS threads on american bread without realizing there is fresh bread just around the corner from the bread aisle, or the people making GBS threads on american cheese not realizing they have things that aren't kraft singles at the deli instead of in the prepackaged stuff case. You don't have to search for some super artisan place to find a good cake, you just have to look, like at all, at places that aren't publix/walmart.

Are you possibly talking about a grocery store sheet cake? Your description doesn't match it at all to me, but they are common and terrible. No one over the age of five likes them, but they somehow keep being bought since they're cheap and do a good communicating the message that "I will not put any more effort or money into this obligatory event than absolutely necessary".

I think that non Americans think that all American food is pre-packaged shite is because that's the American food that we are exposed to overseas. America pretty much invented convenience food and fast food and then went ahead and bought up virtually every food company it could find around the world and merged them into huge conglomerates. And then sold us inferior versions of stuff that we had previously liked. So when I think of American food I think of these huge companies and their pre-packaged stuff with loads of additives in it. Plus when I see Americans talk about food online, it's usually about pizza, burgers, macaroni and cheese, quick crockpot stuff or deserts and cookies. Seriously, what is with the obsession with mac and cheese? I have no doubt that you have good stuff, every country does, it's just the association of convenience and fast food with American food is really strong overseas.

Also, seeing repeat mentions of prepackaged cake mix and "way too much frosting" makes me painfully aware that the standard buttertroll response to premade icing is "I got this container of frosting, it must be meant for one single cake!  " and then they slather on an entire 16oz can of frosting on a 5"x8" cake and get diabetes.Really, though, the big time to start running is if you start associating any American food at all with brand names. Kraft Dinner and Kraft Singles are abominations unto all that is edible. Wonder Bread is basically the most chemically overloaded, flavor-eradicated non-food you can put meat on. Etc, etc. KataraniSword has a new favorite as of 08:11 on Oct 26, 2017 |

Not that I particularly want to defend feeding the poor garbage, however, doesn't Sao Paulo have a ridiculous homelessness and poverty problem? Like in the absence of other readily available options, from a local government level, what would you propose?

The thing is, the proposed solution is a mystery substance made out of products destined for waste. The nutritional information amounts to "it's nutritional" and the ingredients are unknown to the public. And the two may vary batch to batch.

Literally eat the rich people. Or just stop manufacturing a system of artificial scarcity and actually feed people. But that would cut into PROFITS and we can't have that.

People have no idea what is in those pellets or what the nutritional content is. If you give people mystery food pellets, they will eat them because they're starving, but that doesn't mean they won't still suffer from terrible malnutrition and other associated problems if the pellets aren't satisfying what a human body requires to function (especially a growing child). The problem is that then the mayor gets all this credit for feeding the poor (who are still starving and suffering malnutrition) and no other efforts are made to tackle the problem because hey, they are already being given all this food!

It's pretty radical and also very good and not evil. I led a hilariously unsuccessful attempt to put a stop to this poo poo at a local grocer many years ago. "We can save money and look good in our community by not locking up food that is still just fine to eat and letting it rot while we wait for a waste disposal company to come haul it to a landfill you loving morons" Thought I did everything correctly--appealed to cost/time savings and goodwill. Plus, as a department manager, I could show them the numbers as to how much food got thrown away daily in my department alone (a conservative estimate, in tons, would be approximately one fuckton). Couldn't lose, right? "Well, if they know they can dig our products out of the trash for free, they're not going to pay money for them. Duh." Yes, the suburban housewife that just bought six pounds of havarti cheese from the deli for her garden party checked the guddamn dumpster first to make sure she couldn't just get it for free. Good joke, guys. Next thing you're gonna tell me is that we can't donate the food to a homeless shelter before it gets thrown away because doing so would be a liability risk

^^^^^ I assume this was an anecdote from a past job at a grocer or something. Yes the poor are all evil, manipulating geniuses trying to pull a fast one on hardworking Americans, NOT desperate and hopeless wretches trying to not die in the richest country in the history of the world.
