I've always assumed it was a similar phenomenon to how much of facebook mom health poo poo is dedicated to "You can cure cancer with lemon juice and paprika" in that people tend to obsess over finding extra cures and virtues in the stuff they already have access to. Got a lot of wheat? Flavor for that wheat expensive? What a coincidence God hates masturbation but he sure loves wheat and hates flavor!

No, Kellogg and Graham's brand of particular religious hangups really did revolve around the idea that getting as much as a whiff of pleasure from something was essentially one step removed from dancing naked with the devil under the full moon.

But we're talking about the guy who got people to put yogurt up his butt, "enjoying food is sinful" is not the weirdest idea Kellogg ever had

My dad is from a tiny midwestern town, and whenever he visits me in the city he has to eat at his “favorite restaurant” which is a chain of bar & grills you can find anywhere in America.

Aren't there also really strict regulations about importing raw vegetables/other farming stuff from country to country? Like I remember customs being really strict about not having DIRT on you the last time I came to Canada (they likely have good reasons, I just remember it seeming funny), so potatoes which are basically big seeds in dirt might be affected.

The good reason is likely to avoid non-endemic soil bacteria suddenly showing up in Canada.

Yes! That kind of thing. Exactly, good reasons just making it awkward to import your favourite potatoes even if you'd just bring a bag home with you on the plane or whatever.

My sister and I sat down one day and put together a list of everything my dad eats. Since my mom wasn’t cooking two dinners this was also a list of everything we were fed growing up. The only vegetables on there are carrots (but specifically carrots cooked with a pot roast) and salad but he added salad after his doctor gave him poo poo after I had moved out.

The complete list: Roast, pizza, steak, burgers, spaghetti, Tyson chicken, turkey, bacon and eggs, ham, pork chops, roast carrots, fries, Mac and cheese, Dry salad

Childhood was Pizza Hut once a week, McDonald’s once a week, spaghetti once a week, deep fried chicken tenders and fries once a week, and the other three days were some combo of roast, McDonald’s again, Mac and cheese, Outback, or breakfast for dinner.

It took a long loving time to work my way out of that nutritional black hole.

Edit: school lunch was spaghettios and meatballs with Doritos every day until I got to highschool and started actually eating their food sometimes. Breakfast was cinnamon toast. I’m not sure how we survived.

I got together with my midwestern family and traveled to the southwest US. Local fast food tacos? Too out there, we had to make a second stop at Wendy's. OK, let's try something else they can't get at home, a dedicated German restaurant. Nope, too ethnic.

They ordered pizza. Got a "white pizza" (alfredo sauce). They didn't like it. Rural Midwest is a black hole of flavor.

Tried eating at a "Mexican" joint in St Joseph, MO and it was like a retirement home where the owners got their cuisine explained to them over the phone from an old white person in Jacksonville, FL.

We didn't even get past the drink order before we gave up and left.

There's a Buddhist tradition of avoiding the "five pungent vegetables": garlic, onion, green onion, chives and leeks, as well as spicy food, because they inflame sexual desire. There was a great episode of Chef's Table about a Korean nun who makes meals adhering to this diet.

Is this just a thing parents do? I've tried to persuade mine to try some of the unique little local food shops near me, but they always refuse and insist on getting the same bland supermarket sandwiches you can get anywhere. They're from a little village in the UK and have also told me the first time they saw a bell pepper in a shop was when they were in their thirties, and that my grandmother refused to ever eat pasta because she considered it to be some weird foreign thing.

Nah. My parents (extremely white; one is from Toronto by way of Newfoundland, one from New Jersey, both in their late 60s) will try pretty much anything once. Sure, my father likes a good steak or roast beef, but that's not all he eats.

Now my grandmother (specifically my father's mother, the Newfoundlander) was a cooking disaster, and directly responsible for me not knowing I liked lamb or pork until I was in my twenties because the only time I ever had them was when visiting, and they were the driest things imaginable... and same with Brussels sprouts, except those were soggy mush.

Best pizza I've had in the last few months was fior de latte, Gorgonzola, roasted brussels sprouts, prosciutto slivers, dates, walnuts, and a drizzle of honey, on a little bit of olive oil and garlic white sauce. It's just different. Very good though if you get a good one.

Sorry to go back to Re: "white" culture and bland tasteless food.

Tasteless food is not confined to pale skinned middle class Americans/Westerners.

You people should try eating Dhal. Bland, poo poo, mushy yet lumpy. When eaten by itself it tastes of nothing, and if you are mad enough to add it to a proper dish, then it actively detracts from the taste.

Lentils. gently caress em.

In it's sole defense though, Dhal is piss easy to make, and eaten with yoghurt and rice can be a cheap and filling substitute for eating actual food.

Where do they cook Dhal without spice? Every time I've had it, it has plenty of seasoning and spice, that's usually why you have yogurt with it.

Lentils are fantastic. They’re versatile, cheap, tasty, and healthy. Wouldn’t really like to eat them plain, but that’s true of most foods.

People making fun of white people food are generally making fun of midwestern food and generalizing it to all white people and at this point it’s just a tired joke. Of course there are always people hearing the joke for the first time, but it’s been run into the ground a hundred times over for me.
