'I was serious only in trying to tweak the pretentious foodies among Americans whom I often suspect of suffering through meals they don’t like for the sake of saying they are engaging in “authentic” cuisine,' writes RadioFreeTom for usatodayopinion.
Published 11:57 AM EST Nov 26, 2019Or, a significant portion of the world, anyway. A few days ago, a Twitter user named Jon Becker asked Twitter’s legions to post their most controversial food takes. There was the usual hatred for mayonnaise, a takedown of lettuce, and even some swipes at peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
This was all lunacy, of course, and I assumed that after everyone had engaged in their performative outrage, the world would move on.Within a day or two, I was a story in The Times of India and other Indian papers, the BBC, The Washington Post and even Russia’s RT, which was the only outlet that seemed to cover the whole thing with any sense of humor. RT noted that I also have been dragged for hating Led Zeppelin — I do, a lot — and that I seem to like Russian food, which is also true.
Combine this with unlimited bandwidth and the daily, ceaseless search for content, and you have a world in which someone like me can become a story and send thousands of other human beings into heated arguments over nothing. We are now Planet Seinfeld.Bare feet, kimchi and a peacock on a plane? Really? Air travelers need to do better.
