White and co?
- coldtea 11y agoObviously lots of latin and asian americans are already accustomed to (their) ethnic cuisines. So I wanted to emphasize that even the stereotypically "conservative in tastes" white america has embraced ethnic cuisines in the last 20-30 years.
- duaneb 11y ago> stereotypically "conservative in tastes" white america I've never seen this stereotype before. You sure you aren't talking about brits?
- coldtea 11y agoNo, I'm taking of white americans, who supposedly (and perhaps actually) mainly eat in bland chain restaurants, have watered down ethnic chains, and usually always search for the nearest McDonalds whenever they are abroad.
- bcoates 11y agoI think you're referring to the "midwestern palate", it's more geographic than ethnic in my experience.
- Shog9 11y ago"Interstate truckstop palate" is what you're aiming for, I think.
- aaronem 11y agoI tend to think that's more of a stereotype than a reality. I mean, I've been all over this country, and the only place I've really found people to prefer bland food was in the Upper Midwest -- I may not know how it's possible to cook ground beef so it ends up with less flavor than it had starting out, but Wisconsin sure does. But that's the only place I've ever been where I could make that complaint. Of course, now that I think about it, some of the tastiest dishes I've ever had were based around venison, and anecdotal evidence suggests that the taste of venison is rarely known among white Americans who like to go around making snide and rather ignorant comments about the tastes of other white Americans.
- Shog9 11y agoI've had bland cooked beef served in Wisconsin... Also had relish trays served with uncooked ground beef, dark rye bread, horseradish, braunschweiger, onions, mustard... Potent chilis may not be a traditional Wisconsin favorite, but there are other strong flavors welcome there.
