That’s not what saying something like that would mean but I’m not going to laugh at someone who isn’t a native speaker for that. It’s a weird reply though.

My point is that you don’t have to use olive oil. I just said it in a silly way. It’s a prompt for the realisation of “oh yeah, I could use other oils. Other oils exist.” You don’t seem to have picked up on that and have chosen taken it personally, on behalf of olive oil. Theres no need. The oil doesn’t care.

Good luck with the olive oil fried rice though!

Sorry to burst your bubble but I’m not American. However, your assumption that my view must be American, specifically due to your intensely eurocentric view, is painfully ironic.

For some people making Indian, Mexican, Thai or Chinese food with olive oil isn’t tasty, as (believe it or not) olives don’t actually go with everything.

I mean, I listed more than just Italian but I guess that’s inconvenient for the point you’re attempting to make.

I am being free. It’s just im using my freedom not to make my food taste weird. People can use a neutral oil like vegetable oil for almost everything instead of, say, using olive oil in a curry or egg fried rice 🤮.

Maybe they’re not making Italian, Greek or Spanish food?

Very true, she only had a career because her dad bought a record deal for her.

Now, the best producers are writing sabrina carpenter’s songs (as she’ll be made into the next big thing) instead of Swift’s and the quality of writing, such as it was, has plummeted.

Her old record label will now look to bring her down, to bring her fans over to their new projects and the wheel keeps turning until the next one. It’s not a coincidence that bad PR suddenly happens to an act after their record deal comes to an end.

Okay, well, you draw it to a sufficient enough standard and then we’ll use that one instead.

When the genocide happened. I thought that was obvious.

It’s like they haven’t updated their maps since the late dark ages/early middle ages.

They had private enterprise. So, In what way were they not capitalist? Imperial colonial economies are capitalist, by nature.

Tbf, i dont think they could name all of the African American slaves or the millions killed in the DRC.

You know the drill: Ukrainian starvation genocide = crime of communism.

When the Turkish capitalist empire does the same to Armenians, that’s just one of those things. Feels kinds commie though.

And it’s not like we aren’t all going to replace “redacted” with Trump, in every instance it would fit anyway.

Honestly, it’s the latter. Sorry. Without trying to be ironic, it’s the over generalisations and lack of nuance in their views of other cultures. It’s also like you guys are worried anything other than harsh put-downs might go to our heads and we’ll start invading the world again or something.

Also, the only people who tend to be that negative towards our food tend to say it in French and be a lot more specific, almost constructive in their feedback (by French standards that is). Even then, I’m yet to meet a French person who isn’t partial to a well made fish and chips or a shephard’s pie and I’ve met a fair few. In fact, the French have their own version of shepherd’s pie that isn’t as good as the British, can you believe? Maybe it’s the exception that proves the rule lol.

Most British people tend to make the poor French version and not slow cook the mince down in stock and stout beer until thick or use a proper buttery, cheesey mash to go with it.

Fair enough, apologies if I came across too strong. It wasn’t my intention.

Pointing out that I think someone is being a bit unfair and overly generalising isn’t making something a competition.

It genuinely does take time for people to adapt. That’s not point scoring.

Tbf, some people just throw mash potato over mince beef they’ve cooked with chopped tomatoes and soggy carrots. I used to think I hated it too, until I made it properly.

However, I feel thats like deciding how good American food is based on next door’s poor attempt at a dry meatloaf. We have plenty of bad cooks here who panic and make poor food that they take no time over. Maybe more than our fair share.

Also, we don’t cover up the taste of spoiling, poor quality, food by drowning it in sugar syrup and seasoning powder. That can take some time for palettes to adapt to.

Yeah, I’m not taking the “that’s not indigenous food” from an American who im sure will unironically attempt to claim pizza and the hamburger steak as American.

Sad to hear you don’t like apple pie though. I thought you guys loved that one.

Too much meat and not enough fruit and vegetables. Not just your bowels, your heart will thank you too.

What’s the matter, babe? You’ve hardly touched your roast nightmare of the deep.

Can you describe the nature of the unrealness of stella?

And God, despite being male presenting, identifies as non-binary. Per them/thier own words, God created at least three genders.

Why do you think that?
