Modern America baffles me.
People spurn butter, milk and cheese for... oat milk?
For heath reasons? Does no one remember margarine? For ethical reasons... Oatmilk in a Starbucks coffee for ethical reasons is... something.
Give me some slabs of bread, a mix of cheap cheese, butter and a hot pan... some salt and pepper and maybe an in season tomato.

- metadat 2y agoAs opposed to an out of season tomato?
- ElevenLathe 2y agoYes? Tomatoes are better in season. Is this controversial?
- brianmcc 2y agoIt's an unusual idiom to be sure. We talk about lots of fruits and foods every day without such qualifiers. Are we to assume OP meant possibly-stale bread because it wasn't explicit?
- ElevenLathe 2y agoPlenty of people will only eat in-season tomatoes. I'm not one of them but I certainly understand it. The real thing is so different than the tomato-shaped-objects you get in the supermarket in January that it makes sense to treat them as a different food item. Honestly, I've been using canned tomatoes outside the season more and more, because they retain more flavor than the "fresh" ones that come from a hothouse or 3k miles away.
- vegasje 2y agoTo offer a different perspective, I'm unable to eat dairy, and I am very grateful that we have seen such a boom in development of non-dairy alternatives over the past 10 years.
