    I get that. For years I wouldn't eat Italian food because I didn't trust African cuisines.

    Severely limiting the foods you can enjoy to own the non-whites.

    Also: Didn't know ketchup was Chinese, cool. Where's mustard from? I'm guessing the Middle East.

      Tomato ketchup is entirely British. They couldn’t figure out how to reproduce a spiced Hokkien pickled fish brine sauce, so they somehow made mushroom and eventually tomato ketchup.

        Even in the US colonies, it was mushroom ketchup. I don't think tomato ketchup became a thing until the 1800s.

              cows were only domesticated in the Mideast and India.

              Dairy is non-european.

                  goats and sheep were also domesticated in the mideast

                  but sure I guess we can pretend that some paleoeuropean milked a wooly rhino or something once

                im gonna go out on a limb here, but given the degree to which lactose is tolerated in germanic regions, i'd say europe has had a hold of milk for 10k+ years. i know evidence shows that southwest asia had goats first, but the genetic evidence implies european ancestors were exposed to milk for quite some time, which implies some rudimentary form of cheese making as a byproduct

                aight im done nerding

                  It's exactly the opposite. Cheesemaking bypasses the lactose because lactose is water soluble. Even moreso if aged cheese.

                  Yamnaya (basically the "Aryans" that are worshipped so much) had a 0% frequency of the lactose tolerance gene, despite being buried with loads of cattle: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l1YmSXd7yQA/VhlDdgADsfI/AAAAAAAAAx0/081XEAvT0PQ/s1600/pigmentation%2BMathieson.jpg

                  Keep in mind that these Yamnaya Aryans were half Middle Eastern by DNA.

                  but given the degree to which lactose is tolerated in germanic regions

                  Also irrelevant, lactose is tolerated just as much or moreso in Gulf Arabs, Northwest India, and Sahelian Africa.

            cheese was invented somewhere between Europe and the Middle East, though China does have limited cheese-making culture that dates back thousands of years it's not as old as what's been found in Europe and Egypt and elsewhere

        IF YOU ARE A FRUIT I AM PRACTICALLY BEGGING YOU TO REPOST THIS

        TOMATOES IN XINJIANG ARE BEING SKINNED AND COOKED ALIVE

        THEY ARE BEING CRUSHED TO DEATH AND MADE INTO A SAUCE THEN SOLD TO CHINESE NATIONALS

        THEY ARE BEING PICKED UP AND THROWN AGGRESSIVELY AT STAGE PERFORMERS THE CCP DISAPPROVES OF

        She is probably way worse. Honestly she is most likely one of the worst white supremacists around. She actually did act on their shit by going to Mediterranean sea and try to sink the refugee boats.

    I mean I don't buy ketchup because its usually super sugary mass produced stuff that tastes nothing like any tomato paste or tomato sauce made with actual tomatoes, and it's really easy to make my own basil tomato paste with fresh tomatoes that I can use for anything. But if I'm out at a fast food place or restaurant I'll eat ketchup if it's on the food because I'm not a food obsessed infant. But avoiding a restaurant on a date because it has ketchup, which is from CHYNA? Wtf level of craziness is this lol, does this mean he can't even go to MacDonalds? Holy shit can't believe people like this exist.

      funnily enough, apparently the reason american tomato ketchup is so sugary is because Heinz sought a way to keep the ketchup from spoiling but prevent use of artificial preservatives - so he increased the vinegar/sugar amount lol.

    Used to have a manager who refused to eat polos because they were Jew food. Nearest I could figure was that back in the 80's I think they stopped using pork gelatin and that somehow turned into a weird thing in his head. Really weird bloke, deeply racist to a just surreal level. Supported millwall because of course he fucking did.

    People like this are just fucking gone. I dunno how else to describe it really. It's like there's nothing working behind their eyes except weird, viscious reactions to stuff and a buch of torn up gears and belts, clattering about and tearing into each other.

    First, it's impossible to avoid cultural crossover in food. We've been mixing our food since before Western Culture™ was a thing. Secondly, I'll have the Harissa Spiced Raw Kale for a starter. Roast Atlantic Salmon & Sesame Seeds w/ Asian Spiced Cabbage as my main. Stilton-Wild Cherry house ice cream for dessert please.
