Perfectly reasonable. English food is disgusting.
Weaponized incompetence much?
Does every single thing need to be an argument in your world?
Well, English recipes are not really the best, it’s more fair to say that an US citizen of any gender don’t should be in the kitchen, after seeing them adding ketchup to Spaguetti Carbonara
ITT: 🤖
Unless the food is for sick people in that case regular English food is perfectly bland for them.
For her, I would bring home a deep fried haggis and a Cornish pasty. Embrace our culture!
Haggis isnt english. Its scottish
Both are British though
Carbonara is delicious and its definitely not a recent invention
Carbonara was invented after WWII to use surplus bacon sent as food aid from the US and primarily served to American servicemen during reconstruction.
I’m Italian, and trust me: carbonara is not more than 70 years old…
Same thing for tiramisù.
The original inventors of Tiramisu are still alive today.
I hate to break it to you but Norma Pielli died in 2015.
That makes me sad.
As am Englishman, I am offended. The idea that I am not capable of preparing Italian food as well as a native, or that I would ever cook English cuisine in my kitchen, is outright racism.
Maybe but the English havnt yet invented it at all
*DISCOVERED it all
I think this is the wrong place to post this. You’re supposed to post this on microblogmemes@lemmy.world
Centuries of cultures and nations mixing and colliding resulted in pasta. Pasta is more international than Italian.
well someone needs to stir the risotto
This is the sort of discrimination I can support. Call the husband when you want some tea.
We usually default to these positions: many women’s love language is through acts of service and cooking is a big one, and many guys eat the garbage they “cook” happily (I’m one of those). The distribution of labour follows these sexually-divided realities, same with taking out the trash, killing the mice and cleaning the shower drain.
Confirmed. My wife does not consume my “cooking”. She will let me grill though…sometimes.
I’m a woman and I’m all about doing things for the people I love, but I don’t really cook. I’ll happily unclog a shower drain, put together furniture, change your spark plugs, but I hate cooking. Nothing makes me feel attracted to someone quite like when they cook for me; it makes me feel so loved. I joke that the worst part of being single is having to make my own dinner and do my own grocery shopping. I eat so simply now because I refuse to actually cook for just myself.
It’s a good 80/20 split from what I’ve seen. My brother is the chef (and boy can he cook, lol), also the anxious one, the one who plans, in his relationship and his girl is the no-nonsense, “gets her hands dirty” person. As long as we find someone who complements us we’re solid. My wife’s pretty easygoing and I’m a maniac underneath, for example. 🤣
Some default to those positions because we live in a misogynistic society that promotes that thought. Everyone of my closest friends and last couple of bosses are male and the primary chefs I. Their households. My wife usually takes out the trash, recently set mouse traps, cleared one, but I usually do the hair job. Not because I’m a man, but because hair is gross and my wife doesn’t deal well with slimy drain hair. This idea of “pink job” and “blue jobs” (my label not yours) is antiquated and bad.
I didn’t make a value judgement on it, just saying how it usually goes, and of course I can’t account for people’s idiocy and the very Western, redpill, confused and closeted homosexual take of “we’re competitors instead of complementary, women bad because women are feminine”. I mean, my mom’s basically a brain with a mouth, she’s a lawyer who’s also a historian now because she went back to uni in her 60s, lol, and she has never, not even once, cooked us a meal. It’s just not her strong suit, it takes her 30 mins to make a cup of tea which is why my brother ended up becoming the family’s chef, and that’s fine cause she’s always brought home the bacon and paid for everything in my very comfortable childhood, maids included. 🤷
But maybe, on average, men are better with/more suited to do/less hesitant to do gross things (that are not like bodily stuff), among other things like physically demanding things, and potentially dangerous and stressful things (I know women give birth and this fits all three categories and to the highest degrees, lol, but that’s because we’re all very yin yang, the exception that proves the rule if you wish), and women are better at other stuff on average and then over time and across societies we see it and that’s just a reality of things. Maybe the nice boyfriend is baking, sure, and that’s great, but across cultures women seem more motivated to do so. Again, just a description, any value judgement is kinda pointless and misplaced here, because “pink” and “blue” jobs need to get done and are important (but of course misogynistic folks and those without much reading comprehension and a victim complex will see what they wanna see).
My wife can bake (more or less), but cannot cook much else to save her life. She’ll default to crackers, cheese and turkey slices for every meal, maaaaybe the occasional frozen pizza, if I don’t cook. Also I’m a really good cook and I like my food, so… I’mma do the cooking.
