Do you eat White People Food?

[Quesito]

@Gain

Some of you are being obtuse. The “white people food” doesn’t mean Western cuisines at large. It means the very simple, cold and bad meals white people often eat daily like a piece of bread and some ham and cheese. There is no 1.5 lunch break in the west so people need to finish lunch in 20 mins. That’s not food, that’s sustenance.

Did you ever see what people eat in Taiwan lunch break?

Well, the “white people” thing. It’s a bit like saying that all black people eat fried chicken.

Haven’t Chinese people even noticed that they’re whiter than most Westerners?

@finley

In other respects though it’s reminiscent of the way Westerners think that Chinese people just eat noodles and rice all the time.

To be honest, when people here ask you what do you want to eat, they say “rice or noodles?”.

My favorite “white people food” is BBQ and stuff, steaks, sausage, hot dogs, etc. (but not that salty American stuff, European sausage is better).

But bowls of cherrio with skim milk is disgusting and unhealthy. Cold cuts are ok but still feels like suffering when I eat it.

I have. Many people bring their own lunch and microwave it. A lot go out for lunch and it’s never a piece of bread with some bad ham.

Not at all. You can’t be racist against white people.

[Brianjones]

Yeah but look what Taiwanese eat for breakfast, gruel or fake white food.
I’m being a bit harsh…because I like YongHe DouJiang places the most. Breakfast can be great in Taiwan if you know where to go.

Bigotry against a race is racism.

[Gain]

Is there any other definition of whiteness?

[Marco]

I’m asking you, what is your definition of white people?

Where are white people from? Which countries are white countries?

[Gain]

The same definition as everyone else’s.

Ah, the science is settled. Carry on.

Anyway, that wasn’t really my point. I wasn’t much offended by it. I thought their observations were broadly accurate.

They are but somehow the white people here are very offended.

So you’re telling me that Italians, Spaniards, Albanians, Greeks, Armenians, Macedonians, Germans, Ukrainians, French, Portuguese etc… are all bringing in Lunchables every day to work.

Do you know what the average Azeri eats for lunch? I can assure you it’s not processed pork.

Then I guess I’ve only ever met one white person in my entire life.

[OrangeOrganics]

its pretty funny, anyone getting upset is no better than the glass-hearted Chinese

[Taiwan_Luthiers]

I remember eating “lunchables” in Germany, but these are like 1000% better than the crap they put in lunchables. Like salami, ham, etc. that are actually meat and not meat processing scraps, bread that is healthy. Not my favorite food but it’s much better than that American crap.

[Marco]

It makes no sense. Why rail on ‘White People Food’ and completely ignore the rich culinary history of Italy? Are Italians not white now all of a sudden?
