/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Midwestern cuisine is fantastic! Do you think Midwesterners are fat because the food sucks?

>>8497229
It's cause they're all stupid and eat garbage. All of them.

>>8497228
Why the fuck is there just a plate of spices in the background? What is that for?

>>8497229
they're fat because you have to drive for ages to get anywhere.

>>8497228
That looks fucking gross

>>8497228
>raw onions

>tfw superior spanish cuisine is too hard for normie retards

Feels great to eat literally statistically best food in the world that the average cu/ck/ can't cook.

>>8497229
All the food there consists of meat, cheese, and simple carbs. Every dish is piled to eye-level and is shaped like Jabba the Hut.

>>8497454

I'm pretty sure you could teach a chimp to cook paella.

>>8497228
>Ohioans ruining everything for everyone, again

What a shock

>>8497454
>spanish cuisine
>better than italian and french
lmaoing @ ur life m8

>>8498272
>french
>at all

The french are gaywads who convince themselves that all the food they took from other cultures is their own and that it's original, for example, crepes were Breton (a kind of celt) peasants food before the french fags claimed it for themselves.

They're like those kids on deviantart recoloring shitty anime templates or shitty pony templates.

Literally the culinary equivalent of OC DONOT STEAL

I kind of want to try cincinatti chilli...

>>8498317
Really?

>>8498321
I dont know whats wrong with me

>>8498325
I think your brain might be broken

>>8498331
I thought Cincinatti was the chili capital of the woild?

>>8498331
it just looks like regular spaghetti and it makes me hungry and I am all like
>eh, a mountain of cheese on top of some heavily cinnamon flavoured chilli, I'm sure its fine

>>8498375
I dunno man, from what I've heard Texas is, I have no clue though man, I'm from Australia but cincinatti chilli sounds kinda fucked considering they put chocolate in it

>>8498377
From what I've heard they put chocolate or in some cases peanut butter is used apparently

>>8498385
nah, those are rumours
also from straya

>>8497315

Why does /ck/ of all places have the highest concentration of buttblasted left coast libtards?

>>8498583
>he doesn't realize both coasts are shitting on him in these threads

No, WIDF. Not everyone who doesn't like your ''''cheese'''' is from California.

>>8498586
>Implying I give a fuck what Jews think
The bombs can't start falling soon enough

Midwestern food won't be cool. It's too based on meat, it's too carb heavy, it doesn't even have an ironic appeal of fast food or total white trash food.

You might see reinterpreted white trash flavors like ranch mix or something, but Midwestern food is too bland to even engage with on an ironic level. Your casseroles will still be called gratins, your streaks will just be regular grass fed etc. just look at spoon and stable as a foodie Midwestern restaurant and you'll see it's not ironically reinterpreting anything Midwestern housewife tier.

>>8498597
Why would anyone bomb a food desert? There is nothing there except factory farms which can be eliminated by cutting the subsidies. Get a hold of yourself, WIDF.

I moved to the Midwest a few years ago and haven't figured out yet what midwestern food is even supposed to be, other than pre-made stuff from walmart

>>8498583
>why are people interested in cooking and different foods generally left?

Because to be creative and interested in international foods you have to be open minded and willing to progress outside your comfort zone. I think we all clearly understand that doesn't describe much of the right.

>>8497318
>>8497309

A bit of both. Once you enter "flyover" territory, you're talking trips ranging from 1-25 miles for basic shit.

>>8498313
Bretagne is a part of France, fuckwit

>>8498317
>>8498321
It is genuinely my favorite food. It tastes so good

>>8498957
It wasn't in the past, the french took over at some point, people in the region still feel a strong connection to their Celtic roots also the name is Breizh, fuckwit

>>8498385
>>8498400
Cocoa powder is in skyline's recipe, as is
cinnamon

People here mostly like the cheese though.

>>8497228
Trendy? Never. But some Midwest foods are commonplace across the country. Breakfast cereal is one. Sweet BBQ sauce is another. The style of pizza most national chains serve is Midwestern. So is any recipe from Betty Crocker.

>>8500452
>breizh instead of Brittany

What alternative view of history and language that disregards facts, do you subscribe to? I know it's become the rage in the US to dismiss reality, but how has it invaded Brittany?

>>8500527
Breizh is the proper Celtic name faggot, Brittany is just the English translation, it was in the "Mad War" that the french invaded, the war was over and Brittany was officially taken over when the french forced the duchess to marry some french fag which meant that Brittany was owned by the french after the duchess died due to some gay inheritance laws the french had.

>>8500527
Seriously man, do some research I know it's become the rage in the world to not do research but heres a wiki article so you can educate yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_War,

Hipsters are starting to eat spam unironically and do stuff like potlucks so I'd keep Midwestern on your meme radar

>>8500577
>potlucks
>hipster tier

what is wrong with this board

I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!
TOO MUCH WIN!!!!!

>>8500605
Sick gelatin mold bro. Would eat. Needs a sharp ass knife though.

>>8498385
San Antonio Texas has a long history of chili making, as does New Mexico. They are very different though. Chili con carne as most people are familiar with it is a purely Texan invention. It is based on North African tagine brought by early settlers from the Canary Islands, and changed to suit the available ingredients. Cincinnati chili is nothing more than makaronia me kima, a Greek dish brought there in the 1900s by immigrants. They jumped on the chili craze of the time and since nobody knew any better they got away with it.

>>8500577
>hipsters have started to eat limes instead of lemons.

>>8500628

>>8500629
WTF is this. Limes are 10/$1 while lemons are 4/$1. Why wouldn't you buy limes instead?

>>8500638
Lemons are usually a lot bigger than limes

>>8500638
Limes over lemons symbolize the reconquista for mexican extremists

That's why hipsters love them, because they are ashamed of the white race

>>8500638
Because Midwesterner, they are different.

>inb4 they're just sour fruits.

>>8500564
I don't know, guy. Did a google on Breizh and the first thing that popped up was an article titled, "Brittany." I think you may need to pray a little harder to your Druid gods.

>>8497228

>>8500648
South Texas actually, you know, where they grow a whole shit ton of citrus? I'm quite familiar with the difference between the two, but for many applications, especially those where just the juice and not the zest is used, there is no difference in the final product. If you actually cooked and didn't just shit post all day you would know that.

>>8500642
>mexican extremists
Things That Don't Exist for $500, Alex.

>>8500657
Brittany (/ˈbrJtəni/; French: Bretagne [bʁə.taɲ] ( listen); Breton: Breizh, pronounced [bʁɛjs] or [bʁɛχ];[1] Gallo: Bertaèyn, pronounced [bəʁ.taɛɲ])

That's from the wikipedia article on Brittany here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany

In Irish Brittany is "an Bhriotain", in Scotttish Gaelic it's "a' Bhreatainn Bheag", in Manx it's "yn Vritaan" and it keeps going with all the other Celtic languages

>>8500676
That's what the liberals want you to believe

>>8500661

Fucking midwesterners.

>>8498583
/ck/ was /pol/ before /pol/, we're clearly not reading the same board.

>>8498949
I drive 25 miles for class

>>8498640
This. Most people who are into food on the level of a gourmand live in cities with good restaurants and are likely to have done some traveling. That would not be your average conservative who thinks good things are a scam and foreign things are suspect. You can't have eating well be a priority if you write off other places with great food cultures because of your political views. That's just not going to work, because you'll miss out on too much of the good stuff.

>>8497318
>What? The nearest grocery store is 8 miles away? Fucking flyover
>Mine is only 2 miles away and only takes me 25 minutes there and back walking

>>8500806
>I found an exception therefore I'm not a flyover

Let me guess it's surrounded on three sides by a 15 foot high concrete wall, and a moat for good measure, just in case anyone even THINKS about walking directly there from the adjacent housing-only zone

>>8500677
>Breton Celtic nationalist detected, still butthurt the french have owned him for a very long time.

Sorry, my dude, but you're a frenchfuck.

>>8497228

Looks good, I'd eat it. Where's the problem?

>>8500829
Lel, my ancestor fought in that war, got wounded really bad so he rowed on a little dinghy to Jersey, no french blood in me.

The Bretons still feel a strong connection to their Celtic past and some have been campaigning to reunite the two Breton regions, they deserve to have their land handed back from those jewish french bastards.

>>8500862
>jewish french bastards.

Cool. I guess I learned a little world history today about Brittany (Briezh) and France. Nothing like tribal hatred to get the fires stoking. It worked pretty well here in the US in the last year.

>>8498630
It's basically that and """salads""" that consist of 50% mayonnaise and/or sour cream.

>>8501026
Don't forget the ranch!

>>8498583
the population of the US in general is concentrated around its coasts anyway

>>8500813
I can afford a car so I'm 5 minutes from anywhere.

It's 5 minutes to the ground floor for your poor faggot ass.

>>8501210
1/3rd of the country is located between Arlington and Boston with the next biggest concentration being on the west coast. The US is is mostly empty space

>>8501371
Empty space filled with living trash bags who smell like ham named Bertha for women and out of work, dumb as shit, meth smoking faggots for men.

Everything between Texas, California, and New York could fall into the sea and nothing of value would be lost.

>>8501919
Texan here, agreed. Califags are a fucking plague, their arrogance and misguided sense of self worth really is only rivaled by brits.

>>8500941
Not him, but I'm glad there is tribal hatred. Globalism is just the new fascism and communism. Collectives larger than a nation of people are dysfunctional and are how dystopias start like with Nazi Germany or the USSR.

Euro living in Ameriland for nearly 15 years now here.

Despite my length of stay, I only had ranch for the first time sometime in spring or summer. Not sure when. I know it was after Easter but before Dormition. Anyway, I liked it. I really don't understand where the extreme contempt so many Amerifriends seem to hold for it comes from.

>>8501371
Not quite true. The area you're talking about is called the Megalopolis and it holds about 20% of the US population. Adding California's 12% makes the two combined /almost/ (but not quite) a third of the US population. And they live on only 6% of America's total land, so yeah: saying that the 94% of the US that's neither of those two regions is sparsely populated is a bit of an understatement.

>>8502177
seeing my classmates slathering their pizza in that shit made me hate it. seeing ranch covered faces still turns my stomach

>>8497228
Nice presentation. Could have fooled me into thinking the food is actually good, but if you look closer, it's actually horrible.

>>8502177
Thing about ranch dressing users is that they completely submerge their food in that garbage. It's disgusting as well as the ranch breath that comes after.

>>8500761
>only liberals such as myself like to travel and eat good food

are most of these comments ironic, or do libcucks really sit on ck and get super pissed off about chili on noodles?

>>8500605
Looks like something from a 70's cookbook

>>8502611
That's not what I'm saying. People suspicious of foreigners and immigrants often carry that over to prejudice against cuisines of other nations. These are people who would rather hit a steakhouse or a BBQ joint than a restaurant specializing in a specific kind of cuisine. And they often have a chip on their shoulder against anything French, which puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to fine dining.

>>8502711
Not true, food is the one thing immune to racism.

t. racist

>>8502719
Then you're not a true racist.

The midwest is very apprehensive to stuff that doesn't have ground beef, shitty cheese, potato, or some shitty pasta/white bread.

>>8498611
>too based on meat
>too carb heavy

what the actual fuck do you eat then? ice?

>>8502654

I'm from Iowa.
I have family in Minnesota, Missouri, Illinois, Colorado, California, Georgia England and France.

I have never seen anyone do that with spaghetti.

I was taught to make italian meatballs, pesto, marinara and Alfredo from scratch.

I think you might know some real retards.

>>8504296
>I've never been to Steak & Shake or Skyline
The pasta isn't the focus, the chili is.

>>8504296
It is actually very good. I would eat it over traditional tomato spaghetti sauce with spaghetti

>>8504296
This isn't supposed to be a replacement for spaghetti with marinara you idiot, it's a different dish entirely.

Also, the dish is from Ohio.

>>8497228
Cincinnati is the south, its basically in Kentucky

>>8504467
You have to keep in mind that the upper midwest like Minnesota and Wisconsin is a much different and more civilized place than the lower midwest states that border the south

>>8504500
>Must be another unfortunate wretch from Ohio.

They are the state with the most astronauts... Because something about the state makes you want to get as far away from it as possible.

>flyover

In a rocket to get away from the entire planet!


But seriously... eveyrone should have found themselves at a skyline or a steak and shake at one point or another. Even if you hate chain restaurants... Are you so alone and sheltered that no one has ever invited you out to be drunk at either of these places at 3 in the morning? Thats just sad and fucked up...

>>8504516
I've lived in both the 'civilized' and 'uncivilized' midwest. Still haven't had those restaurants.

Isn't Wyoming one of those places where 80% of the land is owned by like 11 people who mostly don't even live there? I know a rich coastie family who owns some land out there, it does sound wonderful (for them), but I don't have a private jet and a staff to manage my "mountain home" when I'm busy doing real life stuff.

>>8508918
So like a feudal system, where peasants pay the land owners in produce they grown on rented land?

Cordon Bleu means blue ribbon, dingus.

When I think of TEXAS, I think of "RANCH".

Doesn't George Bush live on a ranch in Texas?

Is there really a "Hidden Valley"? It must be hiding somewhere in Texas.

>>8508918
Eh, yeah. I belive Harrison Ford has land here too, but even for averagefags, it's great. Because of the miniscule population, scholarships are plentiful, and most places are 20 minutes away from somewhere much prettier, and the news is endearing.

Ok, but what about the chili itself?

>>8511784
yup, upper midwest especially has tons of germans. some poles. lots of swedes and norwegians too, two more countries who aren't exactly famous for exciting food.

we do have some good sausage up here though. and minnesota and wisconsin are two of the top states for drinking, so it stands to reason that drunk food would be pretty popular.

lol

>>8511789
The chili itself is the same as any other chili. Usually sweet and mild. Not saying that there isn't good chili in the midwest, but Cincinnati style is a poor vehicle for it.

>>8511784
Cured meat culture largely disappeared since most of the inhabitants were (and still are) farmers with access to fresh meat year round.

>>8497315
If they don't think the chili is hot enough they set out some chili powders.

I don't really like Cincinnati Chili. I like Indiana Chili which is more like a soup.

>1lb Ground meat browned
>1 package of McCormick Hot Chili seasoning
>1 onion julienne
>4 Tomatoes cubed
>1 large can of Chili Beans w/ spicy sauce (add sauce too)
>Any additional beans you want.
>Mushrooms (my addition)
>1-2 liters of Tomato juice, like the big plastic jug of Campbell's tomato juice.
>Add water if it's too thick for you.
>Heat until boiling
>Add 2 cups of your favorite pasta
>Add salt, pepper, chili powder etc. to taste.
>Boil until noodles are soft.
>Serve in a bowl like soup with a heaping scoop of cottage cheese that's been salted and peppered and a nice buttery slice of cornbread.

Since it's just me and my husband if I make a pot I usually end up eating off of it for about 3 days.

It also makes my shit red.

It's why I jumped ship, that and they care way too much about people.

>>8512797
I have a lot of libertarian leanings, but I just don't think it can work when half the country is constantly begging for an intrusive nanny-state. I'm unironically starting to believe we need a period of severe right-wing fascism to make the left appreciate a libertarian approach again.

>>8512769
Nothing wrong with being a centrist. I simply don't agree with everything (key issues) on both sides.

>>8497455

>>8512813
>I'm unironically starting to believe we need a period of severe right-wing fascism to make the left appreciate a libertarian approach again.
Interesting. You might get it. I guess my views are the opposite of yours. I'd like to see the government taking carfe of education and healthcare instead of corporate and military welfare. Not at all a fan of authoritarianism.

>>8512769
I realized 2 months ago that what the people in big cities think doesn't fucking matter because us mudding rednecks can outvote you so by all means, please encourage as many faggot progressives as you possibly can to crush in there.

I assure you people in big cities feel exactly the same way about what you think.

>>8513050
unless you manage to implement a pol pot style purge, the ones who will bear the brunt of this retard's policies are going to be you, as has happened in past recessions and will happen in this one. us city hipsters have been buying overpriced localvore crap and domestic made-by-real-hillbillies dry goods for a good part of the last decade, so we're used to expensive. just wait until walmart can no longer vomit endless chinese trinkets into your double wide for practically nothing, and you'll be screaming for heads to roll in washington.

>>8513082
That's my point. It doesn't look like the population centers matter if you know who's in the white house - so keep subsidizing your local bloodthirsty baboon population and posting all over the interwebs about what a thinking man's paradise it is and how every intelligent college educated person such as yourself should move there.

>thread about food turns into a shitshow of political ballyhooing
Unsurprising. Most of the food in the Midwest is exactly what you'd expect to find most other places, depending on where you are, regional heresies like the OP aside. That looks fucking awful and I'm sure the texture contrast is equally nauseating.

>>8513088
>if you know who's in the white house
A New Yorker.

>>8513084
Joke's on you, I come into the cities and buy the shit that you don't have the space to keep - and I already have more than enough of it. In the unlikely event that Trump's plans do collapse what'll take the hit is the value of the currency. Land and guns will be what's valuable and people like you don't have any but I hope you feel real smug about being right as you're eaten alive.

The lower class voted Hillary, the middle class voted Trump, and the upper class was virtually tied.

>>8513173

>>8506042

>>8513192
>poor urban blacks
You mean "illegal voters", along with anyone remotely brown who voted Hillary

Don't worry they'll gerrymander those "illegal voters" to the point where they won't even bother voting in a few more rounds. They won't even need voter ID laws or restricted voting hours to eliminate the risk of losing the popular vote again.

midwesterners are fat because they know no concept of portion control.

>>8513446
>no concept of portion control.
I wouldn't say that. It's an antique sense of portion control. Back in the days when they all lived on family farms people consumed 4000-5000 calories a day and burned it off working. That was normal eating for farm people. Take the farm work away and eating even remotely like that will make you obese pretty quickly.

What happened is the standards of portion size changed as fewer people did hard physical work all day. Those who continued to eat like farmers because that's just how their family ate ended up with obesity as a new family tradition.

no, you can also go outside and shoot off hundreds of rounds of ammunition while fantasizing about a hypothetical scenario that would allow you to kill people with impunity

in the 80s it was based on the "red dawn" teen action film, in which the bad guys were communists

in the 90s it was big gubmint and janet reno's UN thugs

in the 00s it was a "left behind" scenario based on the kirk cameron religious drama film

these days, evidently, it's "big city liberals"

since the mechanization of agriculture, hillbillies have just sat around twiddling their thumbs, their imaginations running wild as their internal organs fester in a broth of high fructose corn syrup and transfats. they cling to the trappings of the rough and tumble frontier mentality that their grandfathers experienced, by purchasing souped up pickup trucks and state of the art weaponry. but with nature conquered, they have nothing left to give their lives meaning, so their existence has, for the last few generations, been a fruitless struggle for an imagined enemy. some part of them recognizes that this way of life, this mindless repetition of long-irrelevant and poorly remembered "traditions", is a repugnant lie, something like the cat from Pet Semetery. and that part of them gives birth to apocalyptic fantasies, an outside force that would wipe this world clean. today, that force is embodied by the man they elected President. but they'll grow disillusioned when the fantasy fails to materialize, and move on to some new fantasy, modeled after a straight-to-DVD hollywood abortion, or perhaps an interactive video game.

Completely fucking wrong and retarded.

Chili was developed by the Mesoamericans as a bean and chili pepper stew to which meat could be added if available.

Ok.

>As a urban and coastal resident I tend to think of the Midwest as a subpar par of America, hence the nickname "flyover" that it carries. I find the coasts, and espacially the coastal urban centers to be preferable locations to live for many reasons. I immediately think of the dynamic urban envrionment. The vibrant diversity is also one of the perks of the urban lifestyle. I could not educate my wife's son as easily in a small town in the Midwest either. For instance, last week I visited a museum of black history so he can be well aware, and that at a young age, of the privileges he carries as a white male in Trump's America. All in all, I simply think that the Midwest should simply exist as a provider to the cultural hubs that are the coastal cities.
