>>11544738
Not even any 'maters?

>>11544738
Water’s good for you and so are vegetables like corn,what’s wrong with that

>>11544738
My parents are like this too. They want to "eat natural" but still eat shit. I grab all my food local sourced and they scoff that it takes me an hour to cook my from scratch meal.

>>11544780
>vegetables
>corn

>>11544808

>>11544787
It's because when they grew up there was no such thing as "chocolate milk" that wasn't chocolate milk. They seem to have no idea about all the industrialization of the food supply that took place across 50+ years that kept food prices pretty much flat for their entire lifetimes.

>>11544738
>>"...is it real milk?"
I'm pretty sure they were correct when they said it was real anon.

>>11544738
Nothing is more boomer than a crisp, refreshing Coca Cola™ classic

>>11544832
Don't worry my dad was enjoying one during dinner, probably his second or third today.

>>11544827
He said the first ingredient was water

>>11544853
I'm only 30 and I legitimately like a can of coke poured over ice after a day working in the hot sun.

>Visit parents (in their 60s) for a weekend
>Mom buys a leg of lamb
>Makes lamb stew
>Consists of: lamb, onions, green beans, carrots, potatoes, water thrown into a slow cooker at the same time and boiled together
>At the end she added powdered gravy mix
>No salt or pepper, but she put shakers on the table so that "everyone can choose how much they want"

That stew cost like $30 to make

I don't care how boomer it is, this is one of my main bucket list items.

Boomers have no idea how to cook. The boomer idea of a meal is the most boring generic meat and potatoes garbage and just massive servings of slop for your fatass. My parents have never mad any ethnic dish ever, no indian, thai, chinese, japanese, proper mexican etc. It's literally all just oh here's a fucking dry ass meatloaf or a plain ass stew once in a while

>sausage gravy
>"casserole"
>macaroni salad
>meat loaf
>anything made in a slow cooker

>>11544907
Lmao. Why are boomers hell bent on turning 100 even if they can't eat salt? Did they never deal with existential crisis in their youth? My grandpa fried chicken and smoked cigarettes and died happy

>>11544935
That wasn't chicken, anon.
That was chicken heads.

>>11544898

>>11544898

>>11544814
>walmart as a scientific source

>>11544738
Zucchini bread and Granola are both boomer foods invented in the 60s that are supposed to be health foods but are not any better for you than just eating candy.

>>11544738
canned shit

>>11544738
>>11544853
i don't get this meme why are they wearing underpants on their heads?

My family has always eaten zucchini bread and we just thought it was a weird pound cake thing. I had no idea anyone considered it anything other than a dessert

>>11545111

>>11545092
Is kroger better?

Toast sandwich

>tunas real good for ya!
>slathers gobs of mayo on it

>>11545186
>hey anon come eat some salad it's healthy
>literally egg or potato salad
Nothing makes me gag more

This thread is literal cancer.

>tonight I'm making my signature dish!

You know, it's funny. I consider myself an avid cook, but I still learn something new every day from my parents. I guess it helps that all three of us are boomers, they just have a 20 year head start on me.

>children always want to eat fast food and frozen dinners
>we personally discuss home-made meals like pork ribs, freshly made bread in a dutch oven, and even delicious december prime rib

there's a magic to having everything come together perfectly.

Milk is mostly water dumbass

>>11544932
Occasionally my parents make japanese curry but vehemently insist all curry is indian.

>>11544817
That's true. I guess. At the very least, they didn't have the fortified, fake shit we have now. I swear, millennials are the first generation to understand nutrition.

>>11544915
Nah, white American with no strong ethnic food ties. My mother just never really learned to care about the food on a scientific level.

>>11544738
That sounds great you ungrateful faggot, I hope at least your boyfriend appreciated it

>>11544738
you zoomers are the most ungrateful faggots ever. God damn if you can do SO much better then do it yourself

fuck you guys. I can't wait for the internet to collapse and disappear so you all freak out and kill yourselves or get killed by the elements.

>>11544853
I like how happy Boomer Wojack looks in every picture, like you can talk as much shit as you want but at least boomers are actually happy and spending their time with their friends talking about the past and enjoying actual recreational activities

>>11545312
>you zoomers are the most ungrateful faggots ever.
I was thinking the same thing

>>11545323
it's insane
it's like the internet has made knowlege so much more accessable and it's easier for people to interact and learn from eachother but these fucking zoomers, they are like the new wave of hipsters but it's WORSE because they think they are too good for things hipsters like like modern creature comforts and call it juvenile BUT they also think they are too good or advanced to do things the good old fashioned way.

and they bitch about there not being a real culture in america, when they are literally killing it.

but kids have always been that way I guess, dismissing the old way of doing things but also not conforming with the new ways of doing things.

>>11544738
mac n cheese

>>11545312
nice reddit spacing

>>11545343
what is reddit spacing? Like just making a space between sentences? I don't see the big deal if I didn't do the spaces you'd literally just respond
>Wall of text
or
>tl;dr

>>11544817
wait, so were you drinking yoo hoo or something? what is labeled as chocolate milk yet isnt?

Also, the most boomer shit is "fat free" food because no matter how many times they hear how that doesnt help you lose weight, it was drilled into their heads when they were in their 20s that FAT IS BAD! They think if you go for more than 8 hours without eating, you will pass out or something, so they eat all the time and its all "low fat" bullshit, which is why every single boomer has some kind of metabolic disorder.
I recently visited my boomer parents.
>go out to eat lunch
>come home still full as hell
>they start cooking dinner of a full fucking roast, potatoes, green beans, cornbread
>wait, is that for tomorrow?
they just stared at me like I was retarded.

>>11545332
They realize what idiots they were when they're old enough to experience what they are doing now. Of course this doesn't apply to everyone.

>>11545343
>>11545354
>Reddit spacing
A double carriage return after each sentence.

>>11545376
yeah of course, I was generalizing. A Big problem I think nowadays is EVERYBODY and everything is labled now. So it's putting people in all these boxes that they probably don't even belong in.

I think in the 80s the whole grouping of people really became apparent, but the thing about it was, something like being a "Goth" didn't completely define a person and we as a people and culture knew that. Back in the day people just were who they were, granted people obviously will always follow groups, it's just the natural human way. But the group didn't define you.

Nowadays people are so dependant on the validation of their peers through Dopamine Feedback Loops that they can't be happy until they get the validation and if they DON'T get validation they further remove indiviual charactaristics of themselves to match the status quo. Where before people just did what makes them feel good.

I think women are a great example of this, back in the day a woman was allowed to be strong and sexy and confident NOWADAYS a strong, sexy, confident woman isn't allowed openly (without an agenda) because it puts those 3 things ABOVE other women who aren't as lucky to be strong sexy or confident. And nowadays when you be yourself it's seen as insulting or threatening to others (the STACY and CHAD memes are 100% prime examples of this way of thinking)

>>11545387
oh I just think it makes sense to type like that, in regular speech you pause after statements to give the person a chance to respond or add input, you don't just ramble off the entire point. In this form of communication it makes sense to space out certain points. Call it "Reddit" or whatever but Walls of text are turn offs.

>>11545111
Banana bread is fucking BASED though.

>>11545373
>>11545332
Imagine actually being this stupid.

>>11545389
I think you could narrow it down to being passive aggressive assholes with a good deal of narcissism mixed in.

>>11545393
Paragraphs aren't reddit spacing, 11545343 is just a butthurt idiot.

>chili casserole

HUBBY AND THE KIDS LOVE IT!

>>11545405
it's pretty accurate though, I mean i'm not sure how old you are but it's plainly obvious the direction the younger generation is going with how they pass knowlege and how they aquire information and what they choose to or choose not too interact with.

>>11545408
I think you're correct in a sense, social media while it has made us more interconnected it has also made people more, idk what word to use, timid (I guess) when it comes to confronting one another about issues they may have with one another.

like even something that literally requires human interaction like Dating is being done digitally. People are breaking up with one another through text. it's really quite bizarre

>>11545317

>>11545090
Not him, but I fucking chug water when I'm working out in the heat. When I get home I like to sip a coke through crushed ice.
The marketing got me I guess. But pepsi markets hard and that shit sucks.

>>11544832
When i'm hungover in the morning a nice tall cold ass can of coke really does hit the spot.

>>11545111
Question is how were they all so fucking skinny compared to young adults today eating what they ate? I know they got fat, but I mean 15-35 year olds seem way fatter now than then.
Lots of cigarettes?

>>11545120
Not bad to have on hand for emergencies. And I've honestly had some stuff that was too bad. Canned corn nibs seem okay for some reason, just heated up in the microwave with some salt, seasoning, and butter as a fast side on a tired night.
Whoever decided asparagus in a can was okay should be vilified, though.

>>11545507

This is where the hatred stems from. I'm not hateful myself, just jealous.
>dad is a nerd
>still has lots of friends he met at a job his degree got him right out of college, when being a white male didn't put you on a wait list to get hired
>all ended up with wives who would seem lopsided now, if not impossible
>successful and good looking
>all had kids
The times caught up with them, though. All the wives ended up leaving in the past 8 years as feminism got so retarded. All the "moms" drink and go to bars like modern sluts now.
But they still get together and watch football and seem so tightly bonded.

>>11545542
I meant successful and good looking wives, dudes were average looking. The one black sheep of the group is actually a Chad and ended up having his wife leave recently as well.

>>11545542
>All the "moms" drink and go to bars like modern sluts now.

Boomers fear death above all because then and only then will they be made to pay for their crimes

>>11545464
>People are breaking up with one another through text
I've never seen the problem with this, not even in the old days when text meant sms.

>>11545317
Yeah and buying it all on credit they literally don't have. Its a massive ponzi scheme my guy and they pulled the greatest con of all time and we're all gonna pay for it in an ugly mass war or some shit in the next century. They're the Louis XIV of generations.

Before the internet people actually met up to do real physical activities.

>>11545507
People actually left their house and moved around.

>>11544934
Slow cookers are fine as long as the shit you put in is fresh

I see alot of posts about this. And it just seems like that in the absence of an actual culture and people the americans just "go with the flow". Its a life someone like me could not even imagine. How horrifyingly dystopic.

>>11545507
Kids used to play outside with shitloads of physical activity, now they are glued in front of a console/pc for the entirety of their free time. Add to it that women used to do the cooking but now women no longer do that since bossman wants them working 60 hrs a week.

My gf's dad used to be an obese mega-catholic but then he 'changed' and only eats meijer blocks of cheese and spinach and became a stoic buddhist. Talks about 'balance' as if every day is penance for his past gluttony, but he's still a neurotic smartass who has to imply everything is wrong

>>11546684
As if traditions and culture aremt just 'going with the flow' of a family. Problem is in america many people are raised by society and the government instead

>>11544738
You can only partially blame them for being so stupid, their parents lived through the rationing of the war which at least in Britain supposedly did horrendous damage to the British cuisine, followed by the massive industrialization of food production throughout the 50's and 60's, which combined with most western nations having only a very rich but quiet bland local cuisine focused on feeding poor farmers and industrial workers, turned into a perfect storm of industrial sludge, drowning in oil, sugar and low quality carbs.

>>11546699

Still its something more organic and born out of the people. Its seems that these "people" in america are just consumerist puppets. How could you ever feel good and wholesome when your cultural experience is something as vile as that... Rootless consumption in some godforsaken drywall shithole. GAH

>>11546708
In some cases ues, but i doubt youre getting a realistic sample

>>11546684
What is this? I don't get the whole "America has no culture" and "white people have no culture" memes.

Everywhere and every group has a culture. Look up the definition of culture. It's impossible not to have one.
It seems like people who go with this meme boil culture down to novel music and strange smelling foods. If those aren't at the forefront of your culture then you have none.

>>11546718
If its not classical music or la dia de los muertos its not culture, they say, then of course they call pop-positivity and increased sociality through interest in technology some type of degeneration.

>>11546718

Ofcourse you have a culture. A culture that is massively depressing and rootless. Just consuming for the hedonistic pleasure. Making money just for the sake of making money. The new world truly is different.

>carriage return
It's been a long time since I've heard someone call it a carriage return. I'm glad not everybody has forgotten why the key is slapped with "RETURN".

>>11546730
A bloo bloo bloo. You say on a board where people are talking about how cooking has improved over their parents' generation, because you saw a picture of some slums in another country on the news

>invited to parents house for dinner

>drinks milk

What you meant to say was that your parents flung you out of bed for dinner, faggot

>>11546756

What? I just made a remark towards the fact that any culinary tradition that is not locally grown out of hundreds or thousands of years of tradition seem bleak at best. There are no slums here anyways. I have a hard time following with what you are trying to say.

>>11546750
>It's been a long time since I've heard someone call it a carriage return.
So you work with your hands, or what? Also it says "enter" on my keyboard.

>>11546782
>depressing and rootless
Its literally not either of these though. Its been fairly industrial and artificial the last 50 years but we are literally going through a boom in food culture, and roots arent forgotten at all just because cheaper food is available. People still have their shit

>>11544814

I literally tell my mom to pick out the corn when she uses that thing to cook my dinner. She thought it was a joke and did a half assed job and I yelled at her. Now she takes it more seriously

>>11545073
only if the beer has some obnoxious name like 'satan's uncut smegma' and it's from an obscure microbrewery that i can snobbishly inform everyone about to show off my superiority.

No, you may only cite based Aldi

>>11546792
I bet it has the curved left pointing arrow though.

>>11544898
Yeah it's pretty damn good. Or an ice cold squirt or root beer. Damn I miss soda

>>11547418
Nope

>>11544935
My fucking parents don't know how to salt goddamn food. I was at their house for Thanksgiving and I specifically made sure to get there early so I could make the gravy, and I made almost the best gravy I've ever had (for all their faults, they do at least know how to roast a turkey). The next day my mom uses the rest of the turkey drippings to make more gravy, and it's literal tasteless shit because she didn't add any salt to bring out the flavor.
Fuck boomers and their no-salt lifestyle.

>>11545312
I started cooking for myself when I was 10 because my parents were and are god awful at it

I’ve never had a meal that my mother-in-law of 10 yrs has made that wasn’t a casserole. Her go to is some ground beef, canned beans, of course a shit ton of shredded cheese. She bakes tortilla chips in so those get nice an soft and greasy and disgusting. I die a little everytime someone asks her what shes making... “mexican casserole” can go die forever.

Of course her kids and husband are like

>omg mexican casserole yummmmm

>>11544738

Jesus, you guys had shit parents. My parents both worked in the food industry in there teens\early 20s and learned how to cook fairly well.

nothing crazy, but cooked well and tasty.

>>11545332
god this is legit the most retarded boomer spout i've ever heard anyone spew. you literally sound like somebodys fucking retard boomer dad that only orders the bacon cheeseburger from the sports pub.
