In hindsight, all the memes about how you can tell Donald Trump is a bad person because he eats his steak well done were really obnoxious and did in fact reveal some broken shit in the liberal psyche The idea that an "adventurous palate" is a sign of decent moral character

Like you're teaching your kid to be a tolerant, globetrotting citizen of the world by getting them started on exotic herbs and spices from a young age Whatever Let them eat chicken strips if they want

Like the dunks on "White people never season anything" are fun but at the end of the day they're pointless and they have collateral damage You don't have to eat spicy shit if you don't want to It has absolutely no impact on anything Eat whatever the fuck you want

(People who wildly overspice everything just to prove they're not "boring white people" are *more* ridiculous and annoying than people who demand the no-seasoning version of everything But I don't want to participate in a backlash-to-the-backlash If it makes you happy, do that)

Like the people who pop off with hot takes that IPAs are "toxic masculinity" and "no one actually wants beer that bitter" are annoying too Shut the fuck up okay If I want my beer to take some of my taste buds off with every sip that's my own issue

Anyway, I mean, my mom has a very sensitive palate, she has never been able to tolerate food with even very small amounts of heat -- not even black pepper -- and she also prefers it to be very lightly salted She is not, I assure you, the least bit white

(And she's been this way since before she immigrated, and in countries without white people, nobody thinks of this as a "white thing" Some people just can't handle heat and some people just have tender stomachs It's fine)

As someone whose parents *didn't* adjust servings to be more appropriate for children, the Children's Menu discourse seems like snobbery more than anything. It's just Jamie's School Dinners all over again minus the TV deal.

The discourse is weird. My kid eats off the kid's menu because, as far as I can tell, his eating issues are sensory-related. Kid's menus are, usually, bland and easy, the exact (and only) things he will eat. I would rather he eat than spend every meal time crying.
