/ck/ - Food & Cooking

[Anonymous No.6553789]

Why is it that naengmyun, ropa vieja, pabellón criollo, ashok, and other foods from "evil" places are considered exotic and cool, but when I suggest to my friends that we go out for Israeli food there is an uncomfortable pause followed by a change of subject?

The food is actually pretty good, what exactly is the problem? Is it too familiar?

jewish food?

Very few people like Jews. Oh sure they like lox, bagels and a few other jew dishes, but nobody wants to go the whole way.

Tldr; Jews and real jew food are despised the world over. Except maybe in Israel

[Anonymous No.6553799]

i imagine it's mostly european (german, russian, etc) food, with a touch of middle eastern.

doesn't sound very exciting.

Op here, I'm Jewish as are many of the people I'm referring to who get uncomfortable at the idea of Israeli food.

Jews =\= Israel, remember that. I am not Israeli, I have never been to Israel, I feel nothing but disgust for the Israeli government, and I consider the Israeli regime to be a major threat to the sovereignty of my own country. Don't believe the propaganda you hear.

Can we move on now? I want to talk about food.

hi
all my friends growing up except for 1 were jewish (my parents tried to make me catholic but I was too devilish for that to work)
yeah their parents were bad cooks except for one lady who made me eat chicken soup when I was trying to be vegetarian. I thought I didn't like it and pretended to be disgusted but in retrospective it was excellent soup. she also made matzo ball soup that was really good.
most of my friends parents were better at baking.

speaking of ethnic cosine that I had never tried until it was forced upon me. I just got a soft taco with cilantro and pollo and it was excellent. previous to today, the only latino food I had eaten was burritos and chips with salsa + quesadillas (cheap cheddar cheese on a tortilla, melted, so fake ones mostly).

Idk, haven't noticed that to be a thing, then again I don't know of any israeli restaurants around me unless its one of those places that goes by "Mediterranean" and their signage and doesn't indicate which part of sandland they hail from.

I assume it would the same type of shit as one of those places anyway.

No real such thing as Israeli food. As other posters have mentioned, it's usually generic mediterrenean (like your image). I've been there and I can tell you that other than the staples that they share with most their neighbors (hummus, kebabs etc) most restaurants serve food from other countries. Because those are the places they emigrated from.

Yiddish and Central/Eastern European Hebrew food on the other hand is something completely different and shouldn't be confused with Israel. That's your latkas, kugel, gefilte fish etc.

Quit projecting, you insecure faggot.

Mexico has invented plenty of dishes and has plenty of specialities. Are you going to argue that falafel and hummus are Israeli dishes now? Or better yet, stuffed grape leaves and kebabs? If you want to roll up all traditional hebrew food as Israeli go ahead but it sure as shit wasn't invented there.

Mexico has been around for about 500 years. The kikes only invaded Palestine like 50 years ago. And in that time they managed to ruin baba ghanouj and make other unique abominations.

Allow me to set you straight. "mexico" wasn't a nation 500 years ago, it exist as "mexico" back then. And you're not natives anymore then people from the USA are, you came across from a landbridge from asia. That's why you look like chinks.

You like to use that shit to get free shit from our stupid government and they're stupid enough to pander to votes to give it to you without being able to pay for it.

I wasn't the one that brought up the mexico analogy in the first place. And no, I don't expect them to have nuance or specialized because of their age. Never said otherwise.

Like I implied on my first post, they have a shitton of immigrants from everywhere, so there's a lot of types of foods available in Israel. It's kinda like the US in that regard.

>smegma and shit under the foreskin.
That's not really a thing.

It's fine to be comfortable with yourself. Just don't cut your kids and this all goes away. It's actually unfortunate circumcision doesn't cause a blatant crippling of functional, otherwise it would've quickly fizzled out like the brief lobotomy trend we went through.

Tinfoil much? Israel isn't seen as evil by the vast majority of Americans young or old. Jewish customs are more well respected in America than any other country bar Israel. I bet you more conservatives dislike jews than liberals. Stop blaming anything you don't like on liberals.

No one has to deal with that any more than we have to deal with smallpox. People think keeping your penis clean is a big chore but it's really no harder than keeping your armpits clean.

>>6554070
>Stop blaming anything you don't like on liberals.
Out of curiosity, when you say things like this, what's actually in your head?

Do you truly believe people are capable of meaningful change through their interactions with others? Do you actually think most people saying such things are capable of forming an honest perspective with any kind of depth or width? It seems more like you're talking into an abyss to hear a little echo of yourself back as it fizzles out into waste and the nothingness.

[Anonymous No.6554098]

>>6554085
>No harder than keeping your armpits clean
You have to reach all the way up and actually move to clean your armpits, or at least lift your arm up and let the water hit and wash that all out.

Cleaning your penis is much easier.

[Anonymous No.6554104]

>>6554086
Yeah, yeah I know how pointless everything is. But I can't help myself, it's a reflex of sorts. I've always had this irresistible force driving me to correct others. There have been times when it's turned out that I was wrong but it's honestly harder for me to not try and correct people. I think I'm very slowly getting better at it.

[Anonymous No.6554109]

Honestly even if you completely and willfully ignore cleaning your dick as long as you masturbate somewhat regularly and with some sort of vigour it'll stay clean.

Highlighting flaws with other people's ideas and mentalities is the same sort of thing for me, in truth. How I use this does change, and I've attempted to reconcile it in some ways, but the internal basis is a dualistic curse I expect to carry until my death.

Some of my friends have learnt to take it in their stride as a part of who I am but some still get really pissed off when I correct them. They think it's me trying to seem superior to them when in truth it's something I have to do for myself rather than anything involving them.

[Anonymous No.6554150]

>>6554135
They'll likely never understand. People have a difficult time understanding doing something strictly for yourself, they believe it inherently must be to create a certain perception in others and thus feel gratified via that or some sort of perceived stature within the group.

It presents itself in a few different archetypes, but it's all mostly the same. Always. People won't can't expand their consciousness in the way I'd like, thus I am alone. We're all flawed, limited, and unwilling in our own ways.
