The only thing that's close to "weirdly racist" is saying she wouldn't have it more than once a week. The rest is just unfamiliarity and maybe a skill issue.

The glamorous Asian dishes tend to have a longer ingredient list that does not overlap as much with a typical American pantry.

I don't understand people telling her that White People tacos aren't a thing, and that nobody puts black olives in their tacos. Refried beans and black olives in tacos is something I've had family, friends, and family friends do for literal decades. We didn't call it White People tacos, but they definitely weren't anything like original tacos.

Her takes are a little weird, but I think Twitter has wildly blown it out of proportion. The original thing was mostly just her saying she barely seasons her food. A lot of people have put words in her mouth too, like "high end". I don't think any of this Twitter drama matters, at all. It's been going on for days.

New people also keep showing up to the argument, and so they miss all of the context, and do things like criticize things she didn't say, or give criticisms that she already addressed.

Like one of her very first food posts that started this long chain was recommending making rice in a cheap rice cooker.

Virgil's still on the pod. Virgil's been there sitting silently, but with a microphone plugged in for over 500 episodes.

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

This is just a more extreme version of those Chapo episodes where Felix will suddenly ask a question after not saying anything for 45 minutes.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 7 points 11 hours ago

He was too busy playing Counter Strike: Source in [current year] to engage in the conversation

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 9 points 13 hours ago

I always imagine Virgil lurking in the dark depths of Briahna's basement like the Phantom of the Podcast, awaiting the hour of return.

[–] XiaCobolt@hexbear.net 20 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Virgil mentioned...43 comments...and we're discussing what ingredients to have stocked oh cool. I thought there was a new struggle session.

[–] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 11 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

There is a struggle session.

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

All i see os people in fervent agreement about the importance of having a well stocked pantry

[–] mickey@hexbear.net 3 points 10 hours ago

I cook (east)Asian like food nearly twice a week because I love the flavor, I have a good amount of the sauces too but we don't need to act like this is typical. We don't expect people to eat Indian food every week, I think it's fine if someone doesn't have the ingredients and doesn't know what to do with it and doesn't have a taste for it.

Not me though, I can eat Indian food 8 times out of the week, no breaks.

I FUCKIN LOVE FISH SAUCE LONG LIVE GOLDEN BOY THE BEST FISH SAUCE AND IF ANYBODY TRIES TO INVADE MY HOME IT CAN DOUBLE AS A WEAPON BECAUSE I LIVE IN CANADA AND WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO USE ACTUAL WEAPONS lets-fucking-go

[–] mickey@hexbear.net 8 points 10 hours ago

That baby has a man's face 'cause his parents spiked his milk bottle with fish sauce. I'm using that Red Boat out of Vietnam but would cop the Soviet fish sauce if I saw it. Big bonus points for having a logo that features your product's logo recursively to infinity.

I'm not in on the deep lore here. Hexbear Archivists, what do the tomes say?

After departing Chapo Trap House, where he was one of the original hosts, Virgil Texas went on to co-host the Bad Faith podcast with Briahna Joy Gray (who herself was press secretary for the Bernie Sanders campaign). After allegations that Virgil had groomed a teenager via DMs surfaced on Twitter, he vanished from the face of the earth and was never heard from again. Nobody has ever addressed it, and he's still technically a co-host of Bad Faith, despite having done like two episodes and then disappearing. Chapo also never addressed any of it, but announced his departure via a written statement that was very polite and boilerplate, then never spoke his name again. It was all very weird, and the allegations were never resolved as far as I know.

where he was one of the original hosts

He was not, he was a cohost they made a full partner.

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 4 points 10 hours ago

I stand corrected. Thanks!

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 6 points 11 hours ago

Adam Friedland made a reference to it, saying Stormy Daniels doesn't have the fame of Alexis Texas, mother of a former co-host of Chapo.

Fish sauce won't touch my kitchen. Soy sauce and all the other good stuff is invited. No, I won't eat if you prepare the food with fish sauce either.

I am vegan btw.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 18 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

you can make vegan fish sauce shroomjak

[–] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 5 points 10 hours ago

unfamiliar-with-your-game

I knew about vegan worcestershire, but this changes things

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 15 points 15 hours ago

It doesn't even taste different really. Sauces are probably the easiest thing here, and making your own bespoke sauce really makes the dish pop

[–] Andrzej3K@hexbear.net 26 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Hot take but I personally find the way most westerners relate to Asian cooking kind of fetishistic. Trust Americans to reduce entire culinary cultures to a shopping list

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 7 points 11 hours ago

western food is pretty annoying to make, you have to go to specialty stores to buy stuff like sundried tomatoes and parsley. how many days of the week would you want to eat western food anyway, like seriously could you eat standard western food like new orleans chicken wings, or white sauce italian noodles more than once per month? their food is not like normal people food
