excessive consumption of sugary crap and meat should be banned for a lot of reasons. bloomberg’s ban was wrong because it fined the consumption of soda. the real answer is to nationalize coca cola, repurpose their supply chain to distribute baby formula, and send all the executives to labor camps

Taiwan's british colonial past? Chinese people, drinking tea, is an affectation of colonialism? The idea that india needs england to send it milk is weird. they have milk products in many traditional foods.

bro do you eat chicken? that comes from asia. Do you eat potato? South america. as a north american can I eat fried chicken and french fries? is that ok with you people? The kind of milk tea served in mainland came from taiwan, so taiwan is proud of it. Yeah historically chinese tea culture didn't have milk, but now it does, much as burgers are a symbol of american culture even if it's a fast food. such weird foreign opinions I really don't get it

Then it woul be most natural for the PRC to be head of the milk tea alliance, since it's the biggest milk tea consumer.

Milk tea is fine, just try to not put sugar in it. You can drop in some sugar substitute syrup to change the taste. I really don't notice the "bitterness" in any tea I drink. Its nowhere as bitter as black coffee.

Its more of a Market Forces (emphasis on force) in the late british imperium thing. People had relatively affordable minor luxuries dumped on them and they got into it. This was a very tightly controlled thing in the british empire, while the irish potato famine starved and displaced millions, Ireland continued to export dairy, meat, grain and other sundry foodstuffs. I drink tea in milk as a member of the metropolitan proletariat.

at least in the west, boba/bubble tea is an extremely shallow and superficial cultural signifier for middle to upper middle class east asian diaspora, to appear different and foreign but also appealing enough to whites to not weird them out (like say, with balut or fung jao) sometimes it's used by 1st gen/2nd gen AAs/CAs to compensate for a whitewashed western upbringing: "I drink boba tea almost everyday so I'm Asian af" it's also where you get the term "boba liberal": asian americans/canadians with heavy investment in surface level idpol (representation in media, cultural appropriation, etc) while completely ignoring issues faced by poor asian immigrants (exploitation by employers, homelessness, discrimination)

Zedhe Khoja posted:bu-bu-but byzantine placenta cakes!!1! sütlü nuriye is acceptable in hard times quote:According to the owner of Güllüoğlu Baklava the desserts origins go back to the 1980 Turkish coup d'état during which a military officer purchased baklava and found the price to be too high. The officer complained to İsmail Hakki Akansel, who had been appointed Mayor of Istanbul in the aftermath of the coup. Akansel responded by setting a price ceiling on baklava, which was announced during Ramadan. The pastry shop was unable to make the traditional baklava recipe profitable under the new pricing rules. To lower the cost of making baklava, pastry chefs substituted hazelnuts for pistachios and added milk to increase the weight of each tray of baklava. The new recipe became known as Sütlü Nuriye.[1]

I've heard it mentioned that milk was added to tea so it wouldn't stain the fine white porcelain cups as much.

i always assumed hong kong milk tea was a result of british colonialism but i never thought about it much. afaik, it was served in "tea cafes" alongside iced lemon tea and you can get it hot or cold. it used sweet condensed milk because fresh milk was probably too difficult/expensive. could be an attempt to replicate cultural mores of their british overlords. you can also get a 'yuenyeung' which is mixed milk tea + coffee Grapplejack posted:I've never had milk tea, I assume the milk cuts away most of the bitterness from the tea? the "silk stocking" brewed tea you get is usually really strong so the fat from the milk cuts the extreme dryness and the sweetness goes well with the roasted flavour of the tea. it's still a dumb name for an alliance that reeks of 2nd gen diaspora idpol

Weka posted:Sounds like you're supporting baklava being Turkish? the placenta cakes ‘baklava is Greek’ people point to is much more similar to babka. Central Asian cuisine, on the other hand, has a long history of pastries with a crust of dough like “locust wings” Doner however was copied from the Greeks and you can enrage Turks by telling them that.

I meant durum not doner but I’m full of vodka and oyster and am likely dying. specifically the “wrap in a pita/lavash” stuff is pretty solidly Greek in origin. A lot of the other Balkan food war items are of fuzzier provenance.

Now there's two types of Biriyani. One is from Hyderabad, which is a lighter variant, and another is from Lucknow which is a heavier version. Its essentially a pilaf with a bunch of indian spices and aromatic rice.

Lake Changjin by contrast has 0 magical realism and is more of a sports underdog movie where the bad guys have air supremacy.
