    Especially with northern European food I think it's often just not something you can casually try.
    They either serve you a warmed up ready made meal or it's going to be real expensive.

  • @nint357

    I think what bothers me more about the whole white/poc food debate in the US is the smugness. They'll trash European food all day without considering *any* cultural or historical subtext of the people that made the food what it is. And obviously it's fine to have preferences but I've seen so many videos of youtubers trying things and their critique of "white" people food is always verging on the side of spiteful for no reason other than their stupid culture/race war.
    The past few years there's been a rise in defending Chinese American cuisine (like panda express) and people will state how this type of food was made by male workers who were alone, didn't have the knowledge of how to cook elaborately like their wives/mothers, didn't have access to ingredients and needed something fast and preferably able to be carried to work. And that's great. we should be acknowledging the past and "honouring" it (sorry, don't remember the specific word needed here). And this goes on with most cultures, which is great to see.
    However, the people that are now defending immigrant food don't extend the same courtesy to ANY European cuisine bc it's white, and... ok? Sorry that we have different ways of cooking? Sorry that we're not from a place that could geographically produce the spices *you* want to eat for you to.. idk, respect us? Like us? Idk why any European would care about being liked by any Northern American but anyway-
    Being proud of your cuisine is one thing, we're all competitive in Europe and everywhere in the world with everything, especially our food. But like, being so smug about who seasons their food the most is such a weird thing to be so passionate about? And the stupidest hill to die on? Literally no one is forcing you to eat it, why are we even having this discussion, pls get a hobby.
    Also, the "white" thing is so recent in a historical context since only the Anglosaxons were considered white till less than a 100 years ago. You had Italians, Greeks, IRISH, Central and Eastern Europeans who were considered less than dogs, much less "white" so this whole thing becomes even funnier when you sit on it for more than a second.

    If any of you are travelling in America, do your best to eat only at locally owned restaurants. It won't be a complete escape from industrially produced slop, but the core of their dishes will generally be pretty good. Maybe even healthy, provided it isn't something fried. Yeah, we badly need similar food regulations as to what Europeans have. That way the regional variety of foods across the states can really shine unobscured by high fructose corn syrup and chemicals that could mummify a small dog.

      I think the Italian cuisine does this the best. I saw people dissing them for "using only 2 or 3 ingredients" but that is exactly the point of their cuisine. If you put 2, 3, 4 things in an Italian dish, you MUST be able to taste all of the ingredients with every bite... what is the purpose of using 10 ingredients and 50 spices if you only feel the flavor from 3 of them... it's a waste of resource. Not to mention that some cuisines have dishes that taste 95% the same due to the overuse of a certain spice or mix of spices...
      As was pointed out in the video, spices should be used to enhance the flavors of the actual ingredients, not cover them.

    The whole "White people" thing is an Americanisation of language. There's no such thing as a "White" identity in Europe and people who apply the "White people" joke on Europe are simply misguided.
    The irony is though, to us Asians we generally DO just see you all as a monolith like you guys do with us, but "Western" food has always been seen as pretty delicious, though stereotypical, but never bland.
    Point is, the "bland white people food" thing is ironically an American idea, a country that's majority white where you'd think there'd be more nuance.

    I think you have to also understand, historically in the US "white" was generally reserved for Anglo-Saxon people. Eastern, Southern, Central European, along with most Latin speaking, all Jewish (regardless of race) and Irish communities were not identified as being "white".
    That is why in the US you had Irish neighborhoods, Greek neighborhoods, Italian neighborhoods. They were separated culturally from what American people identified them as today. The new concept of European = White person is a concept that changed less than 100 years ago. A Slovenian person, as an example would have been identified as a "non white/other" in a historical context in the US/America.

Both are great but I do the Greek salad at home in summer, not the French one.

    America does have good food, but most is traditional, and not the modern processed food everyone thinks of. I live in rural Appalachia in Virginia and me and my family have a garden and get all our meat (including our own hunted venison) from our local area, and the things you can do with that, wether smoked venison/pork rolls, or fresh banana or zucchini bread, or homemade barbecue with homemade sauce, or a freshly baked trout I caught from a local river. Any of these things will have fresh applesauce, a variety of homemade canned vegetables/fruits, maybe some egg noodles (which yeah we got from the Germans), and for dessert maybe a homemade apple pie or peach cobbler baked in a Dutch oven, or maybe a dessert dish called “Baked Apples” (not the baked apples you’re probably thinking of) that my step mom from New England introduced to my families southern diet. The big takeaway from American food is that it comes from all over the world either Europe, Africa via slaves, Asia, or even the Indians (which btw they were the ones to invent barbecue, not black people). America is a rich and diverse land and we take the best ideas from all the people that live in this great American melting pot.

    One technique that should be mentioned is *marinating.*
    People who hate on chicken breasts have never tasted a properly marinated piece of chicken. The secret is adding something acidic (be it lemon juice or yogurt) to the marinade in order to soften up the meat.
    Of course, much like with pickling, marinating meat makes it last longer once it is cooked. Just compare eating an unmarinated chicken breast a day after it was grilled, with a marinated one, and you will see which is still delicious.
    Oh, right, a bit of sugar in a marinade really helps with caramelization, if you want that.

Sides can be pasta, crepes, cabbage, főzelék, potatoes and nokedli for example, adding more water to your pörkölt, you starting make some kind of soup, adding any different veggies will result different types of soup. Also, you can use veggie based pörkölt (like lecsó), or if you feel fancy, adding to your pörkölt little amount of veggie (like peas or mushrooms) or sour cream for different experience. Also, if you mix your fried potato cubes with pörkölt, you made brassói.

      @@tetovazamarcelabrozovica3392 Apart from the dishes listed by Aeronaut, there are many other which have been lost in time and forgotten. Fidgetty Pie from Shropshire for example. The reason for this was more the Industrial Revolution than WW2 rationing, at that time most people became disconnected from their lives on the land, and moved to cities, where they depended on food available in shops, which didn't have refrigeration. So would you prefer if we had continued eating good hearty peasant food in Britain, and not have had the industrial revolution?

    I remember hearing white people food growing up as an immigrant in Southern Louisiana. I didn't understand what they meant because the local white people's (mostly Cajuns) food was incredible and my own family's cooking (white Jews from the Balkans) was also pretty good
    Then I went to the Northern half of the state, Utah, East Texas, North Florida, and Nebraska and it clicked for me what people were referring to when they said "white people food". They're not actually referring to "white people food" they're actually referring to "scots-Irish/Anglo-Saxon/Americanized Dutch and Scandinavian food". I was later vindicated in this opinion when I visted London and found most of the classic "British" foods to be bland and forgettable (not necessarily bad, just bland and forgettable) whereas the food made by immigrants including immigrants from other parts of Europe was actually very good and very flavorful

      I honestly beg to differ... I would actually go as far as to blame the likes of Ramsay and Oliver for creating a false image of the British cuisine. I've tried some British classic dishes (in the UK as well as tried to make them myself) and a lot of them are super tasty. Here are a few: Steak and ale pie, Scotch eggs, Sticky toffee pudding, Yorkshire pudding, Black pudding (if you're brave, but the taste is worth it), Shepherd’s pie, Jam roly poly, Christmas pudding, and the list can go on and on and on.
      It also helps if you're a meat lover, because British cuisine relies heavily on animal fats, different cuts of meat, organs and so on. So it's a heavy, hearty type of food meant to keep you satiated through a long day of hard labor.

    I am stew loving dutchie who's also a bushcrafter en history nerd. North West European cooking is obviously a product of it's geography. If I think about typical dishes I don't even include potatoes, because they are fairly new. I'm thinking of things like oats, rye, hazelnuts, butter, cheese, salted fishes and meats with seasonal addition of fruits like apples, brambles, raspberries and lots and lots of greens, from nettles, dandelions and rumex to brasicas to things like young birch or beech leaves. Because the growing season is so short, you have loads and loads of things that are only available for 2-4 weeks a year and dont make it into the wider culture or if they do, in a bastardized form, like marsh-mallows. The marsh-mallow was originally a plant whose stem was roasted. Before the age of cheap sugar we had a whole variety of sweet tasting plants we have forgotten about. Also ecological degradation played an enormous role. Orchids used to be so common that a drink was made from them called saloop, which was an alernative to tea or coffee (it's still common in Turkey and middle east. All in all, there's so much interesting things but it all tastes less intense or sweet than we are used to.

    This is a meme started mostly by black americans to rib white americans. Strange to see it being addressed by europeans when it was never about you guys.

      Not just black Americans but Latinos too. You can do all sort of apologetics about how """expertedly made""" European foods are but they don't hold a candle to the versions of them made in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, that objectively improve all of them.

    Chile is the king of white people food. And I say that as a white immigrant.
    Blandest shit I ever ate. I had to teach myself how to cook (I make a great beef bourguignon) when I arrived, it's so bad.
    When a Chilean invites you out for a traditional meal, they take you to a Peruvian restaurant.
