I hate food discourse because it's a way for people to embrace parochial, nationalist nonsense

[decadent-trans-girl]

I also feel that, across cultures, food à la campagne and haute cuisine (the former is universal, the latter exists as a distinct tradition in some cultures) are both worthwhile but also comparing across that divide is unfair to both sides

if msg improves the taste of food that much just imagine what a multisodium glutamate could do
