I’ve had a little theory that post war American food is universally terrible due to everyone smoking and destroying their taste buds. Stuff starts getting better in the mid 90s when smoking rates start noticeably dropping.
Especially with coffee. People used percolators for years. You know how bad percolator coffee is? So bad that when Mr Coffee came out, it sold for about the same inflation adjusted price as a modern entry level espresso machine. It went into high end restaurants and people thought it was amazing.
I don’t know if this fully works, though. Much of Western Europe had higher smoking rates for longer, and the food isn’t so shit.

My guess is a combination of this and all of the lead everywhere

The “Serve with mayonnaise” got me at the end… I held it together until that point. Why was everything served with mayonnaise?

Shit like this is why meat eaters are not convinced going vegetarian isn’t a conspiracy.

This is what happens when you let capitalists control the food supply

This is how I wish we served Brevik, considering we’ve resolved to “take the high road” and keep him around.

This is just an episode of
Can’t Cook, Won’t CookReady Steady Cook, where one of the contestants has brought in some prunes, cottage cheese, donuts and a lettuce.I can already hear Ainsley Harriott getting unnecessarily excited.
(Edit: sorry, got my Ainsley Harriott cooking shows muddled up!)

Well I think I can confidently speak for all “meat and potatoes” men when I say that not only would this not change my mind, I think I’d never be able to look at a prune in the same way again after eating this

Adding lettuce does not a salad make. If I chop up some tomatoes and cover a cheesecake in ranch dressing, is it a salad? No, it’s a crime against God and man, and restitution must be made.

I’ll stick to meat and potatoes, thanks

If I drive home from the supermarkt with some baby leafs in the trunk, does that qualify as a human-car-salad? And would that be still be legal or count as attempted (self-)cannibalism?
