Random American: White people can't do spices, ah ah funni My father always told me about that one time when, on a job trip, a Mexican guy he used to work with tried Cren (a North Italian and southern Germanic horseradish-based spicy sauce)... Well... The dude was crying... Let's say he underestimated the spicy capabilities of Italian food... I think I saw a similar thing happen on a food KZbin thingy with 'Nduja (A calabrese soft salami paste which is preserved thanks to the fact that it's heavily spiced with south Italian chilli pepper, to the point that it's deep red), with similar results...

[@TheSuperappelflap]

In the Netherlands a lot of people love extremely spicy food. You can buy very hot peppers imported or grown in greenhouses like Carolina reaper or Scorpion peppers, there is hot sauce everywhere. I have in my cupboard, tabasco, sriracha sauce, sambal, chili peppers, cayenne pepper, and hot sauce my brother makes from Scorpion peppers which is very spicy. Because of our colonial history wit Indonesia and Suriname, peppers and spicy food have been part of our cuisine for a long time.

The whole "White people" thing is an Americanisation of language. There's no such thing as a "White" identity in Europe and people who apply the "White people" joke on Europe are simply misguided. The irony is though, to us Asians we generally DO just see you all as a monolith like you guys do with us, but "Western" food has always been seen as pretty delicious, though stereotypical, but never bland. Point is, the "bland white people food" thing is ironically an American idea, a country that's majority white where you'd think there'd be more nuance.

going by the 2nd half of the video, chinese cuisine (by extension, the cuisine of my country vietnam) actually also cook up flavours using cooking technique (stir fry, stew, soup, braise, steam, marinating, pickling,...) & "spice" herbs (leek, onion, scallion, garlic, ginger, pepper, basil, dill,...) basically the same as the european style of cooking described in the video by extension, the japanese fish preparation technique at 5:38 is also a technique and not reliant on spice - japanese cuisine doesn't have any more spice than most european cuisines do

[@Feuerhamster]

Americans don't seem to understand that there's the difference between "seasoned" as in, cooked with reasonable amount of spices and "seasoned" as in drowned in so much seasoned salt that the food tastes like an average League of Legends match.

[@VonThalberg]

I think the Italian cuisine does this the best. I saw people dissing them for "using only 2 or 3 ingredients" but that is exactly the point of their cuisine. If you put 2, 3, 4 things in an Italian dish, you MUST be able to taste all of the ingredients with every bite... what is the purpose of using 10 ingredients and 50 spices if you only feel the flavor from 3 of them... it's a waste of resource. Not to mention that some cuisines have dishes that taste 95% the same due to the overuse of a certain spice or mix of spices... As was pointed out in the video, spices should be used to enhance the flavors of the actual ingredients, not cover them.

[@nint357]

I think what bothers me more about the whole white/poc food debate in the US is the smugness. They'll trash European food all day without considering *any* cultural or historical subtext of the people that made the food what it is. And obviously it's fine to have preferences but I've seen so many videos of youtubers trying things and their critique of "white" people food is always verging on the side of spiteful for no reason other than their stupid culture/race war. The past few years there's been a rise in defending Chinese American cuisine (like panda express) and people will state how this type of food was made by male workers who were alone, didn't have the knowledge of how to cook elaborately like their wives/mothers, didn't have access to ingredients and needed something fast and preferably able to be carried to work. And that's great. we should be acknowledging the past and "honouring" it (sorry, don't remember the specific word needed here). And this goes on with most cultures, which is great to see. However, the people that are now defending immigrant food don't extend the same courtesy to ANY European cuisine bc it's white, and... ok? Sorry that we have different ways of cooking? Sorry that we're not from a place that could geographically produce the spices *you* want to eat for you to.. idk, respect us? Like us? Idk why any European would care about being liked by any Northern American but anyway- Being proud of your cuisine is one thing, we're all competitive in Europe and everywhere in the world with everything, especially our food. But like, being so smug about who seasons their food the most is such a weird thing to be so passionate about? And the stupidest hill to die on? Literally no one is forcing you to eat it, why are we even having this discussion, pls get a hobby. Also, the "white" thing is so recent in a historical context since only the Anglosaxons were considered white till less than a 100 years ago. You had Italians, Greeks, IRISH, Central and Eastern Europeans who were considered less than dogs, much less "white" so this whole thing becomes even funnier when you sit on it for more than a second.

I think you have to also understand, historically in the US "white" was generally reserved for Anglo-Saxon people. Eastern, Southern, Central European, along with most Latin speaking, all Jewish (regardless of race) and Irish communities were not identified as being "white". That is why in the US you had Irish neighborhoods, Greek neighborhoods, Italian neighborhoods. They were separated culturally from what American people identified them as today. The new concept of European = White person is a concept that changed less than 100 years ago. A Slovenian person, as an example would have been identified as a "non white/other" in a historical context in the US/America.

As an Indonesian, I am not one of those people who dismiss certain dishes as "white people food". Pizza, hamburger, steak and frites, cream of mushroom, tuna salad, egg salad, croissant, fish and chips, meat pies (the Aussie and Kiwi variants), I enjoy them. I do think they are just as flavourful as so-called "non-white people food", albeit differently. But, as much as I am annoyed by people who dismiss them as "white people food", I am also annoyed by people who take pride in their inability to handle spices. They claim non-spicy western foods are superior because they allow the ingredients to shine by themselves and spicy foods not only overpower the main ingredients, they also taste the same. And that's BS. One thing I notice about western cuisines is their dependence on animal ingredients - meat (fresh and cured), cheese, cream, butter, fat - for their flavours. I am not a vegetarian so I have no issues with that. In fact, in an alternative world in where I am not a Muslim, I can see myself munching those lardy and bacony dishes. But, that also shows me how western dishes still need those flavour enchancers. Instead of using lots of spices, they use lots of those aforementioned animal ingredients. And no, we add spices not because we want to overpower the ingredients, but because we like the flavour combos. Yes, we like the taste of the meat and the vegs AND the spices. If it is a matter of overpowering the other flavours, then bother having the other ingredients? We would have consumed nothing but spices. And no, they don't taste the same. You expect me to believe rendang, tom yum, Chinese chili oil noodle, butter chicken, Japanese curry and soto all tastes the same? Really? Have you ever actually tried spicy foods from many different cultures.... or do you simply stereotype them? As much as I love spices, I don't see anything wrong about not enjoying them. But, it is obvious some people are mocked for having "white people tastebuds"..... and they let themselves affected by the opinions. As a result, they think the only way to counter the narrow-mindedness about western cuisines.... is to be narrow-minded about spicy foods. Hating spices has become a part of their personalities.

I remember hearing white people food growing up as an immigrant in Southern Louisiana. I didn't understand what they meant because the local white people's (mostly Cajuns) food was incredible and my own family's cooking (white Jews from the Balkans) was also pretty good Then I went to the Northern half of the state, Utah, East Texas, North Florida, and Nebraska and it clicked for me what people were referring to when they said "white people food". They're not actually referring to "white people food" they're actually referring to "scots-Irish/Anglo-Saxon/Americanized Dutch and Scandinavian food". I was later vindicated in this opinion when I visted London and found most of the classic "British" foods to be bland and forgettable (not necessarily bad, just bland and forgettable) whereas the food made by immigrants including immigrants from other parts of Europe was actually very good and very flavorful

Being extremely white and in America, the joke is pretty funny if you know someone who likes that overly bland food and gets confused when you don't.

He's basically the peak of the guy the joke is about, so I get a chuckle out of them from the relatable angle. ESPECIALLY the whole "has a fully stocked spice cabinet but never uses any of it" thing. My parents cleared theirs in 2021 or so and had stuff from when the house was bought in 2005 in there. I don't think it was ever to mainly dunk on European food, rather a specific subset of white Americans that definitely exists.

America does have good food, but most is traditional, and not the modern processed food everyone thinks of. I live in rural Appalachia in Virginia and me and my family have a garden and get all our meat (including our own hunted venison) from our local area, and the things you can do with that, wether smoked venison/pork rolls, or fresh banana or zucchini bread, or homemade barbecue with homemade sauce, or a freshly baked trout I caught from a local river. Any of these things will have fresh applesauce, a variety of homemade canned vegetables/fruits, maybe some egg noodles (which yeah we got from the Germans), and for dessert maybe a homemade apple pie or peach cobbler baked in a Dutch oven, or maybe a dessert dish called “Baked Apples” (not the baked apples you’re probably thinking of) that my step mom from New England introduced to my families southern diet. The big takeaway from American food is that it comes from all over the world either Europe, Africa via slaves, Asia, or even the Indians (which btw they were the ones to invent barbecue, not black people). America is a rich and diverse land and we take the best ideas from all the people that live in this great American melting pot.
