>As part of this thing they've rented out a large Knights of Columbus hall for a potluck

>Only salads in the building are those horrible supermarket deli "salads" consisting of mayonnaise and meat smashed together into a thick paste
>Only actual vegetables to be found are a couple of snack trays, which haven't been touched except for the carrot sticks and ranch dressing which have been picked clean
>End up taking one burger, a bit of this pasta dish someone brought, the spinach and artichoke dip my mom brought, and some of the broccoli, cauliflower, and celery from the snack trays
>No fewer than four people joked that I must be watching my figure because the sight of something green on a dinner plate was entirely foreign to them
>Coffee, soda, and Bud Light are the only beverages available

Stopped read at "flyover". I'm assuming it was a horrible meme filled blog post.

OP you preferences and lifestyle are not better , just different.
You only proved you inability to accept another culture even for one day.
Even when its your family.
Even when they are grieving.

So at the age of 17 you were not capable of taking care of yourself for a week/weekend. Wow.

I shit on flyovers all the time on here, but at 17 I could handle myself alone at home for as long as I needed to. 3 days at least. At that age I'd never been left alone that long sure, but fuck dude how hard would it have been?

I like how every board on 4chan has plebs that do something to make them feel superior

protip: you are a pleb loser to somebody's eyes. Acting all superior, you haven't even installed GNU/Linux and you're wearing clothing you bought at the mall, yet you're trying to talk about what is allowed?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA FUCKING GUTTER PLEB

You brought that on yourself; the great depression gutted whatever old-world culinary tradition they had and ever since they've been the worst area in America for food.
