I am white and was born in. Australia then moved to US and for the life of me I can't eat bland European food. I was invited for dinner at friends place who is British and they served me chicken. I took the first bite and couldn't eat more.

To be polite, I said sorry I need to use the washroom, came back and said I am nor feeling well and want to go home. They were concerned but I dont think they suspected anything. I went my merry way and thanked them for the food.

Is there anyone here from Puerto Rico, I've a serious question. Does anyone there actually like American football?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 points 26 minutes ago (1 children)

I mean there's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico_American_Football_League

But afaik Baseball is #1 by a LOT. Basketball comes next and then Football (⚽, not 🏈).

American football is probably a distant 6th.

But that's kinda the point of having Bad Bunny. Get new audiences watching the big game maybe some of them will start watching the sport.

Yeah, I can see that. A lot of Americans that don't care about🏈 watch the Superbowl for commercials.

How did bland ass food become the hallmark of cuisine for white middle-class americans? I mean, fuck, just oven roasting those breasts would make them taste.... I say this as a white dude from Canada

Racism. Honestly. Spices were seen for peasants and came from foreign lands. Over the generations it just became normal to come from a family with bland ass food.

Spices were associated with rotting food, because they were often used to cover up the flavor of overly game-y meat — at least that was common in the U.S. .

I don't think you can blame people for eventually realizing that if a piece of meat has a suspicious amount of spice on it, it might just make you sick. You also can't blame someone for being averse to the flavor afterwards — spice kicks twice, and if that second kick is also associated with one of the most violent shits you've ever taken... well you get the picture.

That being said, I do love spice. Not a terribly huge fan of the second kick, but such is life.

Not all of us are that bad. I'm making tamales next week and getting gyros tomorrow
