If you're seeing this... I guess it means Tumblr didn't get shut down, I didn't sell or delete my blog, I was never hacked, and I haven't posted anything since. Let the record show I wrote this on December 9, 2013 at 8:49 pm.

donkey says “really really” to shrek when reassuring him that he likes him, shrek later says “really really” to donkey when reassuring him that he’ll help him cross the bridge to fiona’s castle, and then shrek says “really really” to fiona when he tells her he loves her

in conclusion, donkey taught shrek to love and be loved

thanks for coming to my ted talk

what if i told you that a lot of “Americanized” versions of foods were actually the product of immigrant experiences and are not “bastardized versions”

[ace-and-ranty]

That’s actually fascinating, does anyone have any examples?

[memecucker]

Chinese-American food is a really good example of this and this article provides a good intro to the history http://firstwefeast.com/eat/2015/03/illustrated-history-of-americanized-chinese-food

[voxiferous-deactivated20171119]

I took an entire class about Italian American immigrant cuisine and how it’s a product of their unique immigrant experience. The TL;DR is that many Italian immigrants came from the south (the poor) part of Italy, and were used to a mostly vegetable-based diet. However, when they came to the US they found foods that rich northern Italians were depicted as eating, such as sugar, coffee, wine, and meat, available for prices they could afford for the very first time. This is why Italian Americans were the first to combine meatballs with pasta, and why a lot of Italian American food is sugary and/or fattening. Italian American cuisine is a celebration of Italian immigrants’ newfound access to foods they hadn’t been able to access back home.

Stuff you Missed in History Class has a really good podcast overview of “Foreign Food” in the US.
