Lmao what do white people eat everyday, educate me.

I got in an argument with my mother once cause she was conflating eggs with dairy. I think this weirdness came about cause they're both in the "other" category, and instead of having two single item "others", they lumped them together. They aren't meat, fruit, grain, or vegetable, and they can't be lumped in with sugars or oil.

I think it's from when I was young and my mom would say go grab the eggs from the dairy aisle.

Ask her if butter or milk turns into balut.

My GF is Korean. I'm German. She eats her Kimchi while I eat my Sauerkraut.

It's not a very homogenous "race" or "nationality" in terms of language prior to "common language nationalization". It's more like a bunch of foreigners tied to one written script. True to the usual methods of the CCP, achieving the dominance of Mandarin was achieved in part by discouraging and censoring the "local vernacular" in local schools, media, video entertainment. China is also really big.

Hard to relate to someone who doesn't speak the language. English people can't understand French or Spanish, and their cuisines also differ. As far as the Shanghainese language goes, whatever full version of it is probably going to die out.

Something like kombucha was never something my mom was even aware of.

Total horseshit, but you never fail to demonstrate to us the accuracy of your AT screen name.

As for Chinese American cuisine, yeah it was a unique creation that began during the California Gold Rush. But with recent decades of immigration of Han Chinese, there are multiple North American cities with really authentic Chinese regional cuisine. Maybe it isn't exactly as it is in China (how could it be?), but it's a lot different now than a few decades ago.

Right where I grabbed mine just the other day.

While I agree that eggs shouldn't be considered "dairy" technically they are nearly always in the dairy-section in American supermarkets so referring to them as such is pretty common here.

My guess is that markets way back in the day would get fresh eggs along with daily milk shipments from the same farm and the name just stuck.

There are a lot of things that suck about living in America but variety of available types of food isn't one of them at least in my area.

That is absolutely true. My Bro-inlaw owns an upscale sushi joint ($140 omakese / chef's choice 8-course meal). He says his best seller is this creamy shrimp roll that's torched and has mayo inside. It's very rich, delicious, and is it even a sushi at that point? All fully cooked. His best customers get 'em by 3-4x orders. I think that customer JUST started trying nigirizushi for the first time (meat on rice). Good for him.

There are tons of Americans that don't try ANYTHING outside of American Chinese despite all the amazing options available.

Um.....the same things you do but perhaps with a little bit more diversity. Plus the typical white people food.

my only criticism is that he eats jack's frozen pizza instead of red baron

 

[nakedfrog]

Red Baron's "brick oven" pizza is definitely better than any Jack's, but Jack's bacon cheeseburger is better than most other Red baron offerings. So it kinda depends.

 

[bbhaag]

Wut?

Wut?

actually i forgot, stouffer's frozen french bread pizza is even better than red baron!

Stuff I eat today as a Korea-born American:

Breakfast:

• 'Western' style - cereal, toast, eggs overeasy, etc. This is what Koreans actually eat in Korea as well, but with occasional actual Korean set (rice + light soup + egg/banchans). My parents owned and ran a breakfast restaurant... I miss her eggs benedict.

Lunch / Dinner:

• Similar to typical American diet except...
  • Bigger craving / leaning towards acidic/spicy/rice-texture/brothy/salty. Basically 'Asian flavor'.
    • Entire Korean cuisine
      • Everything you see in Korean restaurants.. but that's just the tip.
      • Much more low-key 'homestyle' banchans
        • Banchan making is time consuming. You make it in larger batches, store it in fridge, and serve it over several meals. Only exception are fermented/pickled banchans. I think Koreans in Korea and abroad both buy them pre-made at grocery stores / H-marts.
      • Lots of comfort food such as fried spam + rice (mmmm), tteukboki (spicy rice cakes in a red chili sauce)
      • Many home dishes you may not have heard of... lots of stews (jiggae):
        • Odengi / Uhmuk soups (fishcake soups with fish cakes in skewers + chase it with soju or beer)
        • Nok-du buchingae (mungbean pancake - so crispy and hearty)
        • Siraegi guk (raddish top soy stew)
        • The classic kimchi jigae &
        • daenjang jigae duo
        • Summer buckwheat noodles in a cold beef broth & mustard... buckwheat is satisfyingly chewy and broth is refreshing.
    • I love Chinese and their jasmine rice. Thanks to Chinese friends, I learned to enjoy their flavor found in deep inside Chinatowns. Lots of unaccustomed Koreans get turned off by this. None of below is Chinese takeout. And we all may look the same, but Koreans and Chinese generally don't hang with each other any more than other races.
      • Hotpot
      • Entire wok-culture
      • Ginger & scallion lobster
      • Dimsum
      • Soup dumpling
    • 'Authentic' Japanese is easily loved by most in US
      • Sushi
      • Ramen
      • Any of their homestyle foods if I can find 'em
  • I just love Asian food, jesus:
    • Thai - Pad Thai & various soups and their curries
    • Vietnamese - PHO, I can't live without you, Bun/Boon (cold vermicelli), and various rice dishes
    • Who doesn't love Indian? While it may be once-in-a-while to some of you, I can eat this 3x a week. MMMM.
• 'American' steaks / your typical protein + mashed potatoes + peas/carrots stuff / Food network stuff:
  • I grill a mean steak with fancy plating, probably posted pix here many times.
  • I guess any top picks in allrecipes.com
  • Homemade pasta sauce with san marzano tomatoes. Fettuccini is the best.
  • Making pizza is usually not worth it for me. I don't love it THAT much. I can always get quality pizza around me (who doesn't?)
  • A hearty beef stew / chili during fall & winter.
  • American Chinese takeout
• I love junky food like mall takeout, and all fast food chains.

So you eat just mostly American and Korean food.

You need more variety in your diet, so much more to taste. Especially since you live in an area with so much to offer in a relatively small space.

Not that I give a crap about who's eating more diverse, but I have you beat by miles - just by the sheer depth & scope I get into for Asian food (not all Koreans can stomach authentic Chinese/Indian/Thai/etc... Japanese is easy for Koreans though.)

I live and breathe various cuisines than someone trying different things while most of their meals default to cold cut sandwiches and pasta.

 

[Zeze]

I eat everything.

Within a 15 minute walk of my place are as many legit ethnic food places as there are Americanized food or like pizza joints.

Also got a couple of legit Italian Salumerias, and plenty of Hispanic ingredients at supermarkets and small farmers markets. Couple Indian grocers and some Middle Eastern influenced small shop
Multiple bakeries including a South American one that's off the charts good
Also nearby are a 99 Ranch and H Marts. Also have a huge Indian row in town. A city next door is the best Cuban food in the Northeast.

Since food is one of my great pleasures in life and I have an adventurous palate, this is a big reason I pay to live here. Whether I want to cook at home or get takeout or sit down, I have access to great ethnic ingredients and food joints - on foot or a quick car ride, or with mass transit

This is good, but not anything in the 'you gotta try different things man' territory.

Yes, as a fellow NNJer, I love me some good Cuban food as well as the Noches restaurants here (Colombian).

• Amazing South American cuisine in Bergen County - Noches de Colombia and the fake competition Noches, and check out any restaurants in West New York / Hackensack
• Also much better tapas scene can be found in Newark instead of the fancy Hoboken/JC area.
• Top tier Korean food scene in Pal Park / Fort Lee / Ridgefield (including wood coal KBBQ, most are gas grills)
• Huge Indian cuisine scene Parsippany & Edison - lots of IT & Financial Indian workers - We held a huge Biryani party during our big production release party.
• Good old Dutch & Amish cuisine found in Lancaster area
• Jersey diner scenes throughout the state (although I'm not impressed vs my home state of Mass).
• The small pocket of authentic Japanese cuisine in Mitsuwa area as you know.
• You start to see Philly influence in South NJ with cheesesteaks, crabs, and fried oysters, etc.

Wife makes a mean ass Paella (perfected over a decade) and we hosted a Cuban & PR-American couple and knocked their socks off. With Sangria too.

And you can't touch me. I'm a huge connoisseur of the famous NJ classic:

I feel bad for you east coasters and your terrible food. White Castle is like someone ate a delicious In-n-Out burger, took a shit and then someone slapped some cheese and a bun on the dookie and called it a burger.

My oh my, it seems that you are quite a pretentious prick. Your past posts are usually of quality but I think this time, you left it deficient by leaving it vauge.

Oooh, a loser Beijingnese, aren't you?

While Standard Mandarin was adopted as China's official language in the early 1900s, local languages continued to be dominant in their respective regions until the establishment of the People's Republic in 1949 and its promotion of this standard variant.[44] Starting in the Cultural Revolution and intensifying afterwards, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has adopted a language policy that pushes for the usage of Standard Mandarin at the expense of other Chinese varieties, including the prohibition of their use in most public settings.[45][page needed] As a result, Mandarin is now widespread throughout the country, including in regions where the language is not native.

Many youth can no longer speak Shanghainese fluently because they had no chance to practice it at school. Also, they were unwilling to communicate with their parents in Shanghainese, which has accelerated its decline.[18] The survey in 2010 indicated that 62.6% of primary school students use Mandarin as the first language at home, but only 17.3% of them use Shanghainese to communicate with their parents.[17]

No, wikipedia is not a source, but outsiders do see the above.

I'm more sense than nonsense for the post you quoted. Come at me with the best you got.
