    Description: Since the dawn of the internet, white people food has been the favorite laughing stock of most people online with memes & cursed food images galore. However, there is much more to this cuisine other failed cooking attempts and WASP-y dinners.

    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.

      basically the same as the european style of cooking described in the video

    They either serve you a warmed up ready made meal or it's going to be real expensive.

Except for the British, which still mostly suck at cooking despite the efforts of Gordon Ramsay.

    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.

    One technique that should be mentioned is *marinating.*
    People who hate on chicken breasts have never tasted a properly marinated piece of chicken. The secret is adding something acidic (be it lemon juice or yogurt) to the marinade in order to soften up the meat.
    Of course, much like with pickling, marinating meat makes it last longer once it is cooked. Just compare eating an unmarinated chicken breast a day after it was grilled, with a marinated one, and you will see which is still delicious.
    Oh, right, a bit of sugar in a marinade really helps with caramelization, if you want that.

    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.

Compare a Greek salad with big chunky cut ingredients, even Feta ripped apart by hand, simply with salt, olive oil and lemon juice, to a French Nicoise with a vinaigrette, all of which takes 10 times as long to make. Both are great but I do the Greek salad at home in summer, not the French one.

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.

    Hungarian food cuisine's main pillar is pörkölt. You can make lot of different food starting from pörkölt, also you change sides easily. Sides can be pasta, crepes, cabbage, főzelék, potatoes and nokedli for example, adding more water to your pörkölt, you starting make some kind of soup, adding any different veggies will result different types of soup. Also, you can use veggie based pörkölt (like lecsó), or if you feel fancy, adding to your pörkölt little amount of veggie (like peas or mushrooms) or sour cream for different experience. Also, if you mix your fried potato cubes with pörkölt, you made brassói.

    Great video, I never understood the hatred some people have for "white people food", in itself a ridiculous term if you ask me, there are huge differences within European countries. I am Dutch, living in Italy and the two kitchens are really different, though I love both.
    One thing though, none of the ingredients you mention for carbonara are actually in it, though those ingredients would make for a great tasting pasta dish. Carbonara is: guanciale, pecorino and egg yolk (I've seen egg white as well) and pasta water to make it into a sauce.

    Yeah, as someone who grew up on West African cuisine as a child of West African parents, first time I tried true food from Southerners around me was delicious as hell. I loved party days at school, with the predominantly white students and some Asian students and Hispanics adding some delicious, currently cravable flair as well. Some of the foods were questionable, like when I went to my neighbors' house. Or when our babysitters cooked for us; I've only had white and black babysitters, none of those old weirdos could cook, and they were actually insane, like they should not be around children. Try Chef Boyardee Beeforoni with rice and sausage.

    Not going to take criticism from people who wash their chicken breasts lol.
    Easy bait aside, one interesting thing is the difference between having meat with strong spices or not. My wife is Asian and she literally can't eat steak unless it's well done. Because taking a slab of beef and grilling it to medium rare with minimum seasonings is just never done there. They eat beef, but always stewed or braised (and some eccentricities like crispy fried beef lungs). So they just have no concept of eating red meat where you can still see the red, for the sake of the flavour of the meat itself, and they're disgusted by it. I would say they're missing out, but it's mainly just a completely different approach to food. Same reason why they can't eat Italian or French food without chilli sauce. Because it all tastes the same to them, the flavours are too subtle.

    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

    I am stew loving dutchie who's also a bushcrafter en history nerd. North West European cooking is obviously a product of it's geography. If I think about typical dishes I don't even include potatoes, because they are fairly new. I'm thinking of things like oats, rye, hazelnuts, butter, cheese, salted fishes and meats with seasonal addition of fruits like apples, brambles, raspberries and lots and lots of greens, from nettles, dandelions and rumex to brasicas to things like young birch or beech leaves. Because the growing season is so short, you have loads and loads of things that are only available for 2-4 weeks a year and dont make it into the wider culture or if they do, in a bastardized form, like marsh-mallows. The marsh-mallow was originally a plant whose stem was roasted. Before the age of cheap sugar we had a whole variety of sweet tasting plants we have forgotten about. Also ecological degradation played an enormous role. Orchids used to be so common that a drink was made from them called saloop, which was an alernative to tea or coffee (it's still common in Turkey and middle east. All in all, there's so much interesting things but it all tastes less intense or sweet than we are used to.

    The difference between white people food and elsewhere? We don't over season our food to hide the taste of spoiled meat. That's it, that's why places like India, south America and South East Asia rely on chili so much. Hot countries where their meat spoils, so they have to mask the bad flavour. Europeans didn't have to do this as much so we don't eat spicey or over seasoned food. There are places in Asia where they dont eat spicy, take Japan for example, they ate fresh food and never had to adopt over seasoning.
