In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there a
omg, you're better than this cn, don't pedant on that
overwhelming majority of uncommon food in the usa, however you label it - is deeply tied to working class people or conservatives
Fine, sorry, I’m in a mood. It was this or making dirty jokes.
I just have such a hard time believing your stories lol
I guess the strawberries thing is pretty specific
I’ll leave you and your weird friends alone

i couldn't believe the strawberry thing as well, i knew their kid loved strawberries and had just picked a buttload of them and knew i was going to their place for a bbq after leaving the strawberry patch - even made sure it was an organic farm as well since i knew that would also be a deal breaker for them - so picked some extras to give them
but once they saw me pulling them out of the back of my station wagon and no cooler in sight it was a hard pass
that was probably the most absurd thing i've ever come across - hence why i included it
i considered arguing that every strawberry they've ever eaten has surely spent over an hour outside of refrigeration and these were probably the safest option they could ever have outside of something they grew themselves but realized they'd probably just faux agree and then discreetly toss them once i left so i just shrugged and said "more for me"
she also probably thinks i'm insane to have left strawberries in my car for a few hours before taking them home to eat
In Latin America they eat chicharrón which is fried pork belly and it can be super hit or miss but when it's good it's incredible. It's probably more not good than good unfortunately so I don't order it much but I had it at a place that specializes in it once and it was one of the best meals I've ever had...but it's usually too crunchy or too fatty and it's just hard to get rig
Puerto Rican restaurant near me has chicharron. its incredible.
all jokes aside, majority of my friends donated the max to kamala, have advanced degrees, and use summer as a verbthey are hypochondriacs who wonder about the pfas level of a nalgene water bottle, will refuse to eat a meal if cooked in cast iron, won't allow their children to eat freshly picked strawberries if it took over an hour to get back from the farm (no seriously that ha
that doesn't look very nice tbh
This is how pork belly is supposed to be eaten (pancia di maiale al forno
Conclusions
Our research builds upon and contributes to the existing marketing
literature on political ideology and its influence on heterogeneous
consumer preferences (Buechner et al., 2022; Farmer et al., 2021;
Schoenmueller et al., 2023; Shepherd et al., 2015). Our central finding
suggests that political ideology acts as a polarizing force within the food
market, paralleling its effects on brand preferences (Schoenmueller
et al., 2023; Shepherd et al., 2015), hedonic versus utilitarian consumption (Farmer et al., 2021), and local versus global experiences
(Buechner et al., 2022). Consequently, our results lend further credence
to prior studies that have posited the pervasive and polarizing impact of
political ideology on various aspects of society, extending its reach to the
food marketplace.
Our study adds to the growing body of literature on food values
(Bazzani et al., 2018; Cerroni et al., 2021; Ellison et al., 2021; Lusk &
Briggeman, 2009) by providing evidence that both political ideology
and green consumption values drive heterogeneous consumer preferences. We contribute to this field by extending the literature on the
psychographic drivers of consumer heterogeneity towards food values
(Ardebili & Rickertsen, 2023; Piracci et al., 2023). As a result, we underscore the significance of ideological segmentation within the food
market. Furthermore, our research supports previous findings that
consumer preferences for food values exhibit relative stability across
various countries, such as the USA, Canada, China, Mexico, and Norway
(Bazzani et al., 2018; Cerroni et al., 2021; Izquierdo-Yusta et al., 2022;
Sun et al., 2023; Yang & Hobbs, 2020).
Our study enriches the marketing discourse on political ideology and
sustainable consumption, delving into how conservatism correlates with
pro-environmental and pro-social food preferences. While earlier
research underscored conservatism’s negative link to preferences for fair
trade and food waste reduction (Mas et al., 2022; Gohary et al., 2023),
we found a conservative tilt toward valuing naturalness and tradition in
foods. Such values align with sustainable choices like organic or local
foods. However, conservatives displayed limited concern for the environmental repercussions of their food habits, echoing past findings on
their lesser green engagement (Kidwell et al., 2013; Lin & Nayga, 2022).
Thus, conservative and less conservative groups may lean into sustainable choices, with varied motivations.

the paper has links to a lot of the literature about politics and food preference (yes it's studied and it's uncontroversial that there are important links between the 2)
when it was first presented to me i had the same reaction, wasn't until the 10th or so time it was ordered (chinese style is large groups with a sole person ordering and treating everyone) that i finally started coming around to it - now i don't think i could live without it
fun fact - that dish was literally chairman mao's fave to the point that a spicier variant which isn't as sweet is considered "mao style"
If you’ve never had Shanghai red braised pork belly you’re not qualified to talk about pork dishes.
I like a lot of chinese dishes but i hate sweet flavours with meat. soy sauces also are terrible because the sapidity goes through the roof (which is why you need the sugar otherwise it's inedible).
I am ok with using balsamic vinegar or wine to deglaze, but going with actual sugar + an ultrasalty soy sauce praying you get the right "balance" is just wrong, don't put either...

sugar + salt combinations can be addictive , which is also why americans are so obese, routinely eat bread that has added sugar in it and so on.
from the financial times, the most extreme group who is overrepresented in social media is actually radical leftists (the 3-5% of the population most to the left)
People on the right of average have overrepresenation as well, but not necessarily at the actual extremes, rather at the 15-20% point as well (which in the USA is like Rubio or Ted Cruz, median republican)

That's some A+ self-awareness there.

What the actual **** are you guys on?
All of it looks delicious. Immediately yes.

This is probably your most disqualifying opinion for you being allowed in polite society
Food derail sucks. Picky eaters have always been the nut low, regardless of their politics.
Clearly we need a food thread since apparently none of you know anything about food
while as usual there is a lot of variance, women do prefer sweeter things than men (the gender difference in literature is quite dramatic especially for food craving).
Given that i am a real man (very masculine) and you are a real woman (very feminine), it's normal that something that screams "thick sweetened coating" over meat appeals to you and disgusts me.

I think both those claims are controversial.
