Once at my last job my coworkers decided to do a group delivery for lunch. And I was in a foul mood and I’d never eaten from this particular chinese restaurant so I just clicked sesame chicken, whatever. And then I found out that my other three white coworkers were ALL ALSO GETTING SESAME CHICKEN and it made me so angry and I demanded to change my order before they clicked send and they were mad at me and I was like we are not ordering 4 containers of sugar chicken! It’s disgraceful!
have you ever considered that maybe sesame chicken is just good and sometimes people just all have the same taste in food?
The United States has a meat consumption problem. If you look at the most popular and “palatable” Americanized dish from any ethnic food tradition you’re going to find the one that is primarily about seasoned meat. No “weird” vegetables allowed! And any vegetables that are present must be easy to treat like a garnish, something just there to provide some color. It isn’t just embarrassing from a culinary point of view, it’s also an extremely privileged attitude from an economic and environmental point of view.
I was embarrassed of my lazy choice, and when we were all collectively making the same lazy choice it didn’t make me feel better about my choice it made me feel worse. It is absolutely a me problem; I am part of the problem and I am ashamed.
good God it’s sesame chicken from Lucky Bamboo China House who gives a shit
