Yeah I’m all for dunking on Europeans, but this is a dumb take, all food is from somewhere else. Apples may have come from Kazakhstan but that doesn’t mean people and cultures from outside Kazakhstan haven’t also grown apples and come up with unique ways to prepare and eat them. So what? Doesn’t mean a Japanese apple curry isn’t a part of Japanese cuisine, or cider isn’t a traditional beverage in south west England. Likewise with rice? Are we claiming that only food made near the Yangtze River basin can claim rice? Nigerian Jollof is rice apropriation?

Get outa here.

Dunk on Belgium for being allergic to flavour, or Germany for thinking chicken is a vegetable or Italians for being weird little freaks if you mess up a “traditional Italian recipe” when the only Italian food tradition for most of history was ‘not starving’.

Yeah this is silly. Cabbage is (as far as I can tell) native to Europe, but are we gonna pretend Kimchi is somehow not Korean?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Kimchi = Sauerkraut in a spicy hat and therefore kimchi is German. janet-wink

Don’t point out that sauerkraut has possible origins in China.

Neat! I didn't know sauerkraut had Chinese origins. Do you think both Kimchi and sauerkraut has some common Chinese dish as their ancestor?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (2 children)

They do! It's called suān cài, and uses chinese mustard in the south and west and napa cabbage in north china (this being the variety that sauerkraut is based on. Kimchi likely either shares its origin here as well or may have started as the same dish.

That's very cool! I'll try it if I ever get the chance.

I will stuff anyone that mocks kimchi into a stone urn and pickle them with enough salt and red pepper powder to kimchify them sour.

You are only allowed to do this if you're European, per hexbear rules. Sorry.

Alright you're going in the jar first

Cabbage is (as far as I can tell) native to Europe

Mesopotamians had cabbage so I doubt it was from Europe
