Add source It's bizarre to think that if you're, hypothetically speaking, forced to do something for all eternity, you'd wager it would be something that is also eternally painful or dull or, simply put, anything but pleasant. Well, eating is one thing we're "doomed" to do for all eternity and so far most of us quite like it. So much, in fact, that some even form very strong opinions about food, cuisine, and everything in between. And there's been an AskReddit post about it, with thousands of people sharing their culinary hills they'd die on. Bored Panda has collected some of the best opinions from the now-viral post, which currently clocks in at nearly 27,000 upvotes, 29,000 comments and 60 Reddit awards. Scroll down to check them out, and while you're at it, vote on the ones you like and comment your strong opinions in the comment section below!

Culinary gatekeeping needs to end. Allow your tastebuds to embark on a global trip via your kitchen, guilt-free! 90 90points reply mongo mongo Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Cultural gatekeeping needs to stop. 75 75points reply Load More Replies... Ozacoter Ozacoter Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 9 months ago Indeed. Cultures have always enriched from sharing with each other. There is barely any culture that has developed on their own (except maybe a few isolated tribes). One thing is to be disrespectful but the odea of "cultural apropiation" is most of the time used just to attack people percieved as white for anything they do. For example Japanese people often come to spain, buy sevillana dresses and dance flamenco, aparently it is quite popular. And thats great. Why is it bad if a spanish person then buys a kimono and learns how to make sushi? 19 19points reply Naesil Naesil Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago What I have gathered is that the actual people living in that country and in that culture do not see it as "cultural appropriation", they actually rather enjoy when foreigners show interest in their culture... the people who are bitching about this are second or third generation immigrant descendants who have never been in their parents/grand parents country of origin but somehow feel entitled to that culture. 14 14points reply Dim T Dim T Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago You genuinely don't understand the context here do you? Ofc you don't care. You don't live in a country where your culture is denigrated. Immigrants do. They live in places where when they express their culture they get mocked and punished but when the majority adopts those same cultural elements they get praised You have no skin in the game and no actual argument here, and don't understand the issue at hand at all. -1 -1point reply Katakitoka Katakitoka Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 months ago I dont know why Dim T was down voted when they were completely correct. Cultural appropriation HAS been misunderstood as a refusal to share one's own culture and for virtue-signalling. Its similar to how you will hear multiple companies state that African-American hairstyles are "unprofessional", but the white ex-president/prime minister having a blond hairball on their heads receives no such condemnation. it is for the people who use racial slurs against these communities in one breath, and then in the next, use our culture for points on the Internet or whatever. No community is actively gatekeeping, we're simply doing what we have to to protect the very community. -1 -1point reply ZAPanda ZAPanda Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago (edited) In Africa if white folks get dreads or cornrows or wear shweshwe we super love it and get excited. So no, that wank about cultural appropriation is just virtue signalling from college kids in america/canada/uk. Speaking as an actual african communist, we do not give a f**k. We welcome you to become african, we all came from africa. All that matters is that you want to be here. https://www.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/lifestyle/fashion-and-beauty/2019-01-16-shweshwe-the-fabric-of-sas-turbulent-history/ 18 18points reply SirDigbyChickenCaesar SirDigbyChickenCaesar Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago (edited) Yeah, my friend who is actually from Africa gave me some very beautiful dashiki patterned pants from there as a gift, but I would be publicly shamed for wearing them here in the US. 2 2points reply Jennifer Livinlaughinlovin Jennifer Livinlaughinlovin Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago especially since dreads originate in Asia. 1 1point reply Josy Bannon Josy Bannon Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Getting to know a culture through its food is a beautiful way and mostly appreciated a lot by the natives who are proud of it. Culinary gatekeeping is really stupid and I doubt it comes from the people of the certain culture itself. 14 14points reply Bunzilla Bunzilla Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Italy would never have had pasta if it wasn't for Asia (China?). Everything comes from somewhere. Food would be pretty boring if it wasn't for people experimenting and creating new things! 12 12points reply JitkaBlitka JitkaBlitka Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago I agree with your point but you are not right that italy wouldn't have pasta without china. First written signs of pasta from italy are from the 1st century, before any contact with china. Pasta dough is very simple (flour+egg or water) and it could definitely be invented in more parts of the world independently. But I agree that sharing, experimenting and combining different styles and recipes from different cultures is enriching and fun! 4 4points reply Bunzilla Bunzilla Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago The assumption that cultures were totally segregated is a complete fallacy. Trade routes existed from surprisingly far away. Also, the first ever noodles found are from 4,000 years ago in China. 2,000 years is a long time for that information to spread. 1 1point reply CP CP Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Cultures should be proud other cultures adopt their best traits and if that is food then so be it. 5 5points reply FrancesCat FrancesCat Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Yes, this! Especially in countries (ahem, USA) that always have a large population of immigrants. Food brings people together; don't be divisive about it. 4 4points reply Dim T Dim T Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago .... Thats not what cultural appropriation is. Cultural appropriation is when let's say a restaurant chain claims they invented a dish that's actually a dish from a different culture. Thats cultural apropation. Appropriate literally means to take without permission.

Culinary gatekeeping needs to end.

Ozacoter Ozacoter Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 9 months ago Indeed. Cultures have always enriched from sharing with each other. There is barely any culture that has developed on their own (except maybe a few isolated tribes). One thing is to be disrespectful but the odea of "cultural apropiation" is most of the time used just to attack people percieved as white for anything they do. For example Japanese people often come to spain, buy sevillana dresses and dance flamenco, aparently it is quite popular. And thats great. Why is it bad if a spanish person then buys a kimono and learns how to make sushi? 19 19points reply Naesil Naesil Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago What I have gathered is that the actual people living in that country and in that culture do not see it as "cultural appropriation", they actually rather enjoy when foreigners show interest in their culture... the people who are bitching about this are second or third generation immigrant descendants who have never been in their parents/grand parents country of origin but somehow feel entitled to that culture. 14 14points reply Dim T Dim T Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago You genuinely don't understand the context here do you? Ofc you don't care. You don't live in a country where your culture is denigrated. Immigrants do. They live in places where when they express their culture they get mocked and punished but when the majority adopts those same cultural elements they get praised You have no skin in the game and no actual argument here, and don't understand the issue at hand at all. -1 -1point reply Katakitoka Katakitoka Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 months ago I dont know why Dim T was down voted when they were completely correct. Cultural appropriation HAS been misunderstood as a refusal to share one's own culture and for virtue-signalling. Its similar to how you will hear multiple companies state that African-American hairstyles are "unprofessional", but the white ex-president/prime minister having a blond hairball on their heads receives no such condemnation. it is for the people who use racial slurs against these communities in one breath, and then in the next, use our culture for points on the Internet or whatever. No community is actively gatekeeping, we're simply doing what we have to to protect the very community. -1 -1point reply ZAPanda ZAPanda Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago (edited) In Africa if white folks get dreads or cornrows or wear shweshwe we super love it and get excited.

First written signs of pasta from italy are from the 1st century, before any contact with china. Pasta dough is very simple (flour+egg or water) and it could definitely be invented in more parts of the world independently. But I agree that sharing, experimenting and combining different styles and recipes from different cultures is enriching and fun! 4 4points reply Bunzilla Bunzilla Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago The assumption that cultures were totally segregated is a complete fallacy.

Add source It's bizarre to think that if you're, hypothetically speaking, forced to do something for all eternity, you'd wager it would be something that is also eternally painful or dull or, simply put, anything but pleasant. Well, eating is one thing we're "doomed" to do for all eternity and so far most of us quite like it. So much, in fact, that some even form very strong opinions about food, cuisine, and everything in between. And there's been an AskReddit post about it, with thousands of people sharing their culinary hills they'd die on. Bored Panda has collected some of the best opinions from the now-viral post, which currently clocks in at nearly 27,000 upvotes, 29,000 comments and 60 Reddit awards.

To clarify, "superfood" is a buzzword that cues bulls**t incoming and rising prices. The author loses all credibility. It's the point where I stop reading and close the window.

Culinary gatekeeping needs to end. Allow your tastebuds to embark on a global trip via your kitchen, guilt-free! 90 90points reply mongo mongo Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Cultural gatekeeping needs to stop. 75 75points reply Load More Replies... Ozacoter Ozacoter Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 9 months ago Indeed. Cultures have always enriched from sharing with each other. There is barely any culture that has developed on their own (except maybe a few isolated tribes). One thing is to be disrespectful but the odea of "cultural apropiation" is most of the time used just to attack people percieved as white for anything they do. For example Japanese people often come to spain, buy sevillana dresses and dance flamenco, aparently it is quite popular. And thats great. Why is it bad if a spanish person then buys a kimono and learns how to make sushi? 19 19points reply Naesil Naesil Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago What I have gathered is that the actual people living in that country and in that culture do not see it as "cultural appropriation", they actually rather enjoy when foreigners show interest in their culture... the people who are bitching about this are second or third generation immigrant descendants who have never been in their parents/grand parents country of origin but somehow feel entitled to that culture. 14 14points reply Dim T Dim T Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago You genuinely don't understand the context here do you? Ofc you don't care. You don't live in a country where your culture is denigrated. Immigrants do.

Cultural appropriation HAS been misunderstood as a refusal to share one's own culture and for virtue-signalling. Its similar to how you will hear multiple companies state that African-American hairstyles are "unprofessional", but the white ex-president/prime minister having a blond hairball on their heads receives no such condemnation. it is for the people who use racial slurs against these communities in one breath, and then in the next, use our culture for points on the Internet or whatever. No community is actively gatekeeping, we're simply doing what we have to to protect the very community. -1 -1point reply ZAPanda ZAPanda Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago (edited) In Africa if white folks get dreads or cornrows or wear shweshwe we super love it and get excited.

First written signs of pasta from italy are from the 1st century, before any contact with china. Pasta dough is very simple (flour+egg or water) and it could definitely be invented in more parts of the world independently.
