Midwestern food was mostly sturdy farmhouse cooking showing some German, Polish and Scandinavian influence. But the 20th Century fucked it very hard. Many of the companies that make the vilest overprocessed garbage are headquartered there - General Mills, Kellogg's and their ilk. A lot of the "cooking" that happens there these days involves creatively mixing a can of this with a box of that, covering it with orange cheese and baking it.

>midwestern atrocities
They're American atrocities - people in the Northeast, the South and the West made the same shit. It's just that it really took over in the Midwest. I'd guess that's because the food culture there was less well established. Probably also because as long as all the "normal, regular" people ate it no one bothered to be critical. Being critical is seen as rude there.

[Anonymous No.8009228]

>>8009163
It's not funny at all. It's indicative of the kind of thinking that trashed the food there. Au gratin potatoes is ideally a dish made with quality ingredients and at the very least a basic level of skill. It's a quality dish.

Tater tots with cheese is not a quality dish. It requires no skill. The basic ingredients are incredibly low quality. You can totally taste that the potatoes have been frozen. The cheese that's inevitably going to be used is orange grated stuff - the lowest possible quality of cheese you can get.

Equating the two is pretty much saying, "I don't give a fuck about the quality of the food I eat." Or simply not being able to tell the difference between them. Just potatoes and cheese, right? May as well get some McDonald's fries and put Cheez Wiz on them. Same thing.

>>8009168
Not where I live. I haven't heard anyone use the word hipster unironically in a long time. here in NYC. I've heard the term "hickster" to describe people who leave the city and open up cute restaurants and coffee shops in small towns in places like the Hudson Valley. But no one I know uses the word hipster anymore, unless they're talking about something from a decade ago. Gentrification is more the current buzzword.

You're making my point for me. This is the kind of thinking that trashed Midwestern cuisine in the 20th Century. Simple, straightforward cooking is delicious when you have farm fresh vegetables, good dairy and quality meat. But replace that with the stuff you find at the supermarket and it tastes like shit. Because for simple to work you have to start with quality ingredients. There's a huge difference between the taste of a potato freshly dug from the earth and a tater tot.

>signature dishes from the absolute cheapest garbage they could find, and made it not only palatable, but amazing
You can make cheap ingredients into delicious things - people do that all over the world. But you have to start with actual ingredients. A bag of tater tots is not an ingredient. Nor is a can of cream of mushroom soup. Using advertising to convince people it was is what fucked up Midwest cooking. When you start with ingredients that aren't really ingredients in the first place the stuff you make is gonna be some laughably bad stuff.

Important reminder that the midwest is mostly used for growing feed corn and other commodity grains. They consider it pretentious to "pretend" to enjoy simply prepared vegetables, because they don't have access to that kind of thing. It's all trucked in from places that matter, and obviously, a 6 week old tomato from a strain that was designed for durability and cosmetics isn't going to be particularly appealing. Hence why tater tots and dry soup mix are basically prerequisites for having a meal that's even somewhat palatable.

but if you say something tastes acceptable, why shit on it just because it's from a certain region?

This is untrue in my experience. I have in-laws in central Wisconsin, and there are local farms and farmers' markets. And the prices are great. You can buy from Amish and Hmong, which makes for a nice variety of in season produce. Out of season they're probably screwed, but in season anybody interested can do well for vegetables.
>people who thought eating fresh food was a provocative fashion statement rather than completely normal.
They do eat salads at least. But at the home of a high school friend of my wife I was served a dinner of salad from a bag and a frozen pizza heated up in the oven. She asked what dressing I'd like, pulling bottles out of the fridge door. I asked her if she had vinegar and olive oil, saying I'd be happy to just make a vinaigrette. Her response: "I didn't know you could do that."

These are people for whom salad comes in a bag and salad dressing comes in a bottle, and that's just the way it is. They don't think to question it, or think that they maybe could do just a little better than that.

Unless you're in a big city or living in an apartment where you're limited to growing herbs or something small, there's plenty of space for a garden. I've grown up with a garden at my parent's place and we're not out in rural parts. It takes a lot of time and resources since the soil isn't necessarily meant for gardening with.

Summer harvest was good this year except for some pears and apples my dad's been experimenting with. Dang chipmunks found a way through the barriers. Sorry for no photos famalam. It's almost September and we've been living off of everything that was growing before they went bad.

Because in your mind there's no distinction between the two? Being picky and discriminating are the same thing to you? Someone who turns their nose up at a wine cooler but accepts a glass of white Bordeaux is just being picky? That's absurd. I don't eat garbage food because I have better options, plain and simple.. Eating tater tots or chicken nuggets would be weird for someone of my age, socioeconomic status and interest in food. As would be having sweet cereal in cold milk for breakfast, making a frozen pizza for dinner or buying salad dressing in a bottle. These may be "normal" things in your world, but in mine it requires so little effort to do better that there's no reason to ever settle for them. Same is true for chain restaurants. I have so many good options that chains are invisible to me. I can easily do better.

I'm aware lots of people settle for crap food. It's cheap and widely available. I'm just lucky enough that I don't ever have to eat it.

Delaware bay, you mean.

There's a DMZ between the Delaware and the Chesapeake that probably quite isn't the South yet, but we're not entirely comfortable with either.

Since that area pretty much keeps its mouth shut most of the time we're not in any hurry to draw lines, but if there was another war we'd be fine burning it with the rest of the South, just to be sure.

I think by "rough and self-reliant rural pioneer RRRAWWR" he's not so much talking about the dull as fuck wedding gift Wustof set in your average middle class family home in Shaker Heights, but, rather, some angry MGTOW's bachelor cave in an undisclosed location somewhere between the Hudson River and the Diablo Range where you can only tell where he lives based on the brands of craft beer "rare empties" he has collected for display

You can expect an impressive collection of extremely sharp mora knives used regularly for stabbing phone books and ripping open Hungry Man dinners because that kind of poster obsessively sharpens his knives 3x a week using the "scary sharp method" (he's still saving up for an actual stone and besides something about the word "scary" resonates with him in some way)

I can pick up what he is putting down but its not exactly relevant, I am married, me and my wife are both college educated, her more than me she holds a professional degree and I jumped the education ship after my bachelors but am gainfully employed making more than her, anyway I have passive interest in knives, or at least the craftsmanship of the knife, dont care if its "scary sharp" but i can ascertain if said knife has a valuable handle or construction.

Basically he is taking a subject he lacks knowledge in and criticizing it and people who do posses such knowledge as it is out of his comfort zone.

Tolerance: being able to live around people who aren't like you without getting triggered
Intolerance: killing abortion doctors and gay people and shooting up Sikh temples because they look kind of like Muslims. Bitching and moaning about people who don't look like you

Rustics seem to have confused "tolerance" with "enabling backwards retards by pandering to their delusion that they're an oppressed group". Fun fact: the first amendment comes before the second.

It's a morally bankrupt argument though
Flyovers are shitty human beings because their first thought, right after one of their own committed a horrible act of violence, is "well, look at all the bad things Muslims did", thus essentially condoning the murder of literally anyone as long as you thought maybe they weren't Christian
