It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Apparently the British wish to lock me up for daring to suggest something with flavor instead of a cucumber sandwich

burn the entire place to the ground

Shitlingford here is right though, it's an old ingerlish tradition to pillage any establishment that serves nonwhite food and murder its occupants. Probably triggered some memories of visiting "the Indochina" during his Oxford years.

I think this may have strayed too far from its origins as a poverty food. White bread, butter, cucumber and mayonnaise (if you're fancy) paired with some weak tea drowned in milk is a perfect way to save money so you can afford to have a TV license to watch England lose at football or splurge on Wensleydale Cheese to eat with your Christmas fruit cake and Christmas goose or go to Ibiza and get horribly sunburnt while complaining that the Spanish people are speaking Castellano.

Plus it helps keep you thin so you can fit in chimneys to sweep.

The point of a cucumber sandwich is that it's light and refreshing. You can eat it as a snack while drinking tea, and not worry about not being hungry later.

What you suggested sounds nice, but it's a meal and that's not what they're for.

Yeah but a banh mi isn't a monstrosity u_u

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

It's already a fusion food. Pate, baguette and mayo are French, the spices, meat marinade and vegetables are Vietnamese.

Historically speaking this is their response to pretty much any communication with a foreign culture.

cuvolcel-kamalaber sandwich

The irony is that OPs sandwich is legit the whitest thing I have ever seen

[–] don@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Have you ever seen a British cucumber sandwich? It’s little more than a thin slice of cucumber (no skin) in between two slices of whatever that cake is that they call white bread. At least OP’s sandwich has jalapeño and sri racha in it.

It's the overcompensation. No indigenous cuisine is ever as tortured as that.

It's funny because you're not even getting into exotic ingredients with the most far out being what? Sriracha? Cilantro? Ginger? They didn't even suggest MSG that scares everyone off. You're not pickling with rice wine vinegar and sugar (though I think you should) You could probably serve that shit in the bible belt and people wouldn't look twice.

Iirc it's literally the recipe for a banh mi that came from hello fresh, so like, the whitest version of such possible lol

Surely they must understand after writing that why people clown on WASP food.
