Why would you assume that? Going by all the favorites/least favorite food threads I've ever read, peoples' tastes are highly variable and difficult to generalize.

[kallanda_lee]

Yes, obviously the might be a few foods you dislike - but, I find it strange that the foods you eat specifically say a lot about your personality. In that sense, I do assume most people eat most foods ('most' still leaves room for specific dislikes).


I think the food thing would only be relevant if important to characterization specifically - like, if someone only survives on ramen or canned food that might tell me something.


But, if an author would write someone eating say lasagna a chicken - I'm going to assume most people eat those on occasion.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I can see OP's point. Sure, there are some foods that a lot of people eat, but what you eat, how you eat, etc. can be a nice level of detail for a character. And I still think "most people" is too general - how many people in China or India do you think eat lasagna on a regular basis? Your assumptions about what most people eat is actually pretty specific to one or two countries and specific to western culture.

[(Anonymous)]

There is definitely a normal meal though. Meat, some carbs in the form of potatoes, rice or pasta, and three types of veg (probably carrots, a brassica or some sort, and peas). There ya go, generic adult main meal of the day.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe in western cultures, yes. Your idea of "normal" isn't true for lots of countries and cultures outside of the U.S. and UK. It's not even true for many people in those countries because... three vegetables in one meal? That'd be a healthy guideline, but I doubt most people follow it.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure it is. Take the Chinese. Chicken, rice, sauce containing bamboo shoot, onion, and chunks of whatever fruit the sauce is based on. Mexicans, ground beef, beans, onion, tomato, and wrapped in a carb source or served with rice on the side. Americans deep fried burger in a deep fried bun with deep fried pickle, deep fried lettuce, and deep fried onion rings.

[(Anonymous)]

I started to reply sensibly, but I realized you're trolling. :(

[(Anonymous)]

No, I am being humorous in my reply. There is a difference, my point stands though. I mean take the deep fried part out and I've still described a huge chunk of the American national diet.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay. I guess I'm not sure what's so funny about describing cuisines poorly.

[(Anonymous)]

Unable to take a joke about the American diet then? Go vote Trump and he'll build a wall to keep those jokes out.

[(Anonymous)]

You're kind of undermining the "I'm not trolling, this is just a delightful joke" schtick you're trying to pull off here.

[diet_poison]

It didn't read like a joke to me. I don't see the humor. I don't think it's that AYRT "can't take a joke", just the joke wasn't very funny.

[(Anonymous)]

Of course you don't. Nobody ever expected you to see a joke in anything much.

[world_eater]

did you really think the "deep fried deep fried deep fried" thing was serious?

[diet_poison]

I thought adding "deep fried" to the lettuce was pretty tongue-in-cheek, but the whole thing read as basically serious to me even so. (And to be fair, there is fair food where you can deep fry pretty much anything.)

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, this. I wasn't offended, it just wasn't particularly funny. The "joke" fell pretty flat.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know about funny, but it was pretty obviously a joke to me.

Like. Just the structure of repetition and the obvious absurdity and the fact that it literally has an actual honest-to-god punchline. It was a joke.

[diet_poison]

Repetition doesn't automatically make something a joke and I don't see a specific punchline at all.

[(Anonymous)]

They're joking anon, it's ok

[(Anonymous)]

Brassica, yuk. Po-ta-toes.
