Do you support Foreigners in your dining habits..?

[Lady L]

{lol...what the heck...}


So...do you..? Do you think its keeping them here...whether it be Mexican...Chinese... kebab...:eek:..etc ( whatever foreign food is in your county )

Or do you think its harmless..?

[Æmeric]

I don't mind foreign food but I don't see why, for example, you need Chinese people to staff a Chinese restaurant. White people can learn to cook Chinese cousine & White waitstaff can serve it.

The wide diversity of various ethnic restaurants is supposedly one of the great benefits of racial/ethnic diversity. As though we were a much poorer people culturally before we had the opportunities to experience Thai cousine.:rolleyes2:

[Absinthe]

Actually, most of the good 'exotic' cuisine restaurants in Athens have been owned and run by Greeks.
The newest ones, owned by immigrants, are usually in ghetto areas and the conditions of food preparation are obscure.

I generally dislike asian cuisine. I will only go to a very expensive chinese (run by Greeks) but I haven't been there for years.
Sushi, Thai, Korean, and all that....I cannot stand.

I will eat the occasional mexican (very rarely as it's too heavy for my stomach) -and there's a fun mexican restaurant run by a lovely Greek lady.

I also adore italian food, and most pasterias are run by Greeks as well (after all it's mediterranean cuisine).

I sometimes go to a beerhouse called Oktoberfest and that is run by Greeks. So is Beer Academy and Zythos (greek for 'beer') that serve german food :)

I like Indian food and both restaurants I go to, "Iskandar" and "Red Indian", are run by Greeks.

But generally I like greek food best of all, and not because of patriotic, but objective reasons :thumbs

[Electronic God-Man]

I have a weakness for quesadillas. I eat at Taco Bell and Qdobe at times.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe if I wore a sombrero and listened to reggaeton music (or whatever the Mexican version of that is) while I did it there would be a problem beginning to appear.

I once had an argument with a guy who said that eating quesadillas was pretty much equivalent to miscegenation. He was offended because I told him I wouldn't want to marry a Mexican girl. That was the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life.

I suppose the Irish and Italians should really be considered Hispanics by now (the potato and the tomato are New World vegetables).

As you can see from the two above examples (potato and tomato) it depends more on what you actually do with the food. No one can even imagine "irish food" without thinking "potato", but does that mean the Irish have become Amerindianized? No.

Edit: Which reminds me, someone asked me once if I was Polish because of how much I like Kielbasa. No, I'm not Polish. But Kielbasa, Wurst (German), and sausage (English) are all the same thing by themselves. Most cultures will have foods that are incredibly similar anyhow. At the moment, I can't think of whether the quesadilla is more Hispanic or Spanish. the tomatos are from the New World as are beans I think but I believe the Spanish had something that was pretty much the same.

[Jägerstaffel]

I personally think food is a defining characteristic of a culture. People express themselves in their food and it becomes part of their lifestyle. I absolutely love good food and want to travel the world to experience exotic cuisine.

I guess I tend to hope the people that work/own foreign restaurants tend to value their OWN culture (they must value it enough to own a foreign restaurant) as opposed to wanting to overtake mine.

But, like all good things - best if in small doses. I've seen areas around Mexican restaurants turn into Mexican slums. I guess that's the natural progression of it; so I do see the harm in it despite how delicious it is.

[woody]

I limit what I give to people of other backgrounds. If I can give money back to my own people, I will, unless it is wiggers.

My girlfriend loves Mexican food. She is a little left-of-center. Well, she was. She got sick of all the illegals that she made an oath at Blot to have a personal protest. She vowed to not eat at a Mexican owned restaurant for a year. She cooks it occasionally, and sometimes goes to Taco Bell. But, she has not gone to her favorite Mex restaurants since summer.

[SwordoftheVistula]

I eat at them occasionally. I don't think it matters what you eat as who it employs. I cook a lot of Mexican food at home, and also make sushi. Conversely, most of the European/American cuisine restaurants primarily employ immigrants/nonwhites.

[Gooding]

I tend to eat at home..Restaurant food simply doesn't agree with me at this point in my life..Meat and potatoes, me :D

[Ulf]

The only thing I eat is sauerkraut. I wish to remain ethnically pure and not be a traitor to my race.

[Psychonaut]

Man, you're lucky. I have to eat nothing but escargot so as not be betray my people :(

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

I laugh at you silly Sauerkraut and Snail eaters, for I am English and will eat anything.

[Gooding]

Quote:"A Gooding will eat anything that won't eat him first"-My uncle George Calvin Gooding, reunion at Shoney's,1992.Now, in 2009, my father and uncle are both diabetics...I am of the firm opinion that bad fats will eat us first...:eek: LOL, of course, our English blood has been diluted on that side by the Anglo-Irish and Ulster Scots..

[Angharad]

I don't eat out much, but I really don't have many native restaurant choices in my area. If I want food prepared only by legal residents I have few choices, like Vegan or Soul Food. :rolleyes:

I also know an Anglo-American sushi chef, but I can't stand the stuff. I'll eat Thai food though if it isn't too spicy.

I don't really know of any restaurants in my area that have non-foreign staff (aside from the one white sushi chef). My boyfriend prefers American diner food, so we usually eat that if we go out.

There is also a pizza parlor owned and run by Italians that I eat at every once in a while, they are probably American citizens. If I want to drive a bit there are some Veggie restaurants that are owned and usually staffed by white folk, but I usually can't get my boyfriend to eat that.

Actually even supermarkets here are run by foreigners, the one closest to me only has Hispanic and Middle Eastern food. There is a small shelf with "American" stuff like Hamburger Helper, Stove Top Stuffing and mashed potato flakes, but if I go there I usually end up with produce, milk, cheese, bread and spices (spices are really cheap there). I suppose there are things there like "Hungry Man" Fried Chicken or Meatloaf dinners, but I'd prefer the offerings by the "upscale" "white" supermarkets.

[Brynhild]

To be perfectly honest, I prefer to eat at home. I know what goes into my food and it's also a matter of budget. I have eaten other types of food on the odd occasion - including Kebabs! - but come to my home and our diet is fairly staple. I have 3 kids to raise and I'd rather cook for us. In the colder weather we like stews and roasts, while in the hot it's lots of fruit and salads. I am very fond of Italian cuisine, and I sometimes make up a stir fry. Again, that comes down to me making it.

Edit: This would be an interesting case in point that has just occurred to me. If I were to eat like an Australian, I would have to eat Kangaroo, Crocodile, Turtle, berries and witchety grubs. The irony is I haven't eaten any of those things.

[lei.talk]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

I laugh at you silly Sauerkraut and Snail eaters,
for I am English and will eat anything......that has been subjected to near-solar temperatures
over a sufficiently lengthy time-period
to disintegrate any nutritive proteins and lipids
that may have originally been present. :swl

[Freomæg]

Difficult subject for me. I'm vegan and certain ethnic foods are more suited to a vegan diet than others. Chinese, Mediterranean and Indian food is easy for me whilst traditional British and Germanic food isn't. But, like I said, very complex issue because if we had a healthy, respectful method of slaughtering and farming animals, I'd be eating meat, dairy and therefore traditional Germanic food. So I tend to blame modernism for the fact that I eat a lot of ethnic food. Therefore, in a sense, I am forced to betray my own folk's dining traditions by the modernism my own folk brought us into.

I very rarely eat out though so when home, I tend to make up my own dishes which can't really be said to be one ethnicity or another. Veggie bangers and mash is a common meal anyways.

[Fortis in Arduis]

But generally I like greek food best of all, and not because of patriotic, but objective reasons :thumbs

Your objective reasoning is well-founded, both for Greek and Indian food.

I wait for an adequate British food culture with baited breath.

It will have to happen at some point. We have made tentative attempts but they have all been tainted with our hypercommercialised tendency.

[Fortis in Arduis]

Difficult subject for me. I'm vegan and certain ethnic foods are more suited to a vegan diet than others.

My food is nearly always derived from the vedas.

Even the way I consume dairy products is derived from ayurveda.

The veg options in the UK are probably enough, but for the lack of adequate lentil foods. The Romans ate chickpeas, but we do not grow them in the UK.

I am afraid that we are just stuck with that, but we change seasonally and salads, grains and fresh mild cheeses are wonderful for the summer months.

We could argue that meat production and consumption is inherently capitalistic because it lends itself to the accumlation of capital:

Meat is an unnecessary, expensive and addictive product which facilitates the acquisition of larger land masses than veg products.

Man, you're lucky. I have to eat nothing but escargot so as not be betray my people :(

You too. :( Sucks to be French.

[Manifest Destiny]

Here in California, much of the kitchen staff at restaurants seems to be comprised of Hispanics, regardless of the type of food that is being cooked. As a result, I'd guess that just about everyone around here who eats out is "supporting" foreigners in one way or another.

But I prefer to support white-owned establishments whenever possible.

[Hilding]

I try not to support foreign businesses if I have other options. On occations I visit some asian restaurant though. I avoid arabic pizza/kebab places, McDonalds etc. If I need a hamburger I choose the swedish owned Max instead.

mmmmm...looks tasty:cool: Why not put some salt and pepper on those bad boys, get a good red wine with that..YUM! A wonderful appetizer for some fish and chips..Oops, lunchtime!

[Absinthe]

Last night I had the most amazing italian dinner at a cosy trattoria (http://www.ildoppio.gr/EN/MainPage.htm) in Athens.

Amazing food, fair portions, great wine and good prices. It's owned and run by greeks. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that all of the personnel were greek. Excellent service, btw. :thumbs

[Freomæg]

Yes Absinthe. I went to a Pizzeria in Aviemore, Scotland the other week and aside from all the staff being well and truly Scottish, it was the best Pizza (and service) I think I've ever had.

[Absinthe]

I did a little research in the Athens city guide, to see what kind of exotic cuisines there are available in my city, as well as how many of them are run by foreigners.

Egyptian - owned by greeks

Ethiopean - owned by foreigners

Arabic - some owned by greeks, some by foreigners

Argentinian - owned by greeks

Brazilian - owned by greeks

French - owned by greeks

German - owned by greeks

Japan - more than 20 restaurants, more than half are owned by greeks

India/Pakistan - the expensive ones owned by greeks, the cheap ones owned by foreigners

Spanish - owned by greeks

Italian - owned by greeks, some have italian chefs

Libanese/Syrian - some owned by greeks, some by foreigners

Mexican - owned by greeks

Multiethnic (mixture of foreign cuisines in the same restaurant) - owned by greeks

Persian - owned by greeks

Multiasian (mixture of asian cuisines) - owned by greeks (and very expensive!)

Polish - owned by foreigners

Russian/Ukrainian - owned by foreigners

Thai - owned by greeks (and expensive!)

Tex-Mex - owned by greeks

Czech/Slovakian - owned by foreigners

So you can see there is a variety of exotic flavors one can indulge into in my city, without supporting foreigners. Greeks are very food-oriented, we like to try different things even though our cuisine is simply...the best ;) :D

May I also add, those owned by foreigners (Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, the Arabic ones, etc) are mostly referring to the respective ethnic groups living in Athens and they are very unfriendly to the greek customers.

Since going vegetarian I have taken a great interest in Indian food. Also, Absinthe has found me some excellent Mediterranean recipes that use no meat... The finished products look delicious! Will definately have to get in there and get stuck in when I'm not so busy :cool:

The most horrible thing about being a vegetarian is trying to find a vegetarian brown sauce... I've been looking, but am yet to find one. Though I hear they exist! :D

[Inese]

We dont buy at people who are not European! It is not so hard because we dont eat asian, indian or african foods. We only eat European. I love my Latvian cousine with many fishs and German cousine! Italian cousine is good too!! :thumbs up

[Grumpy Cat]

With the Internet today, you can look up recipes from any culture and cook then at home.

I have the feeling that progressive whites are really the racist ones and want the brown people to slave over a hot stove cooking food for them just like back when their ancestors owned slaves. That's why they want those restaurants around.

Those folks are the elite, after all, and to me their mentality is right out of the colonial era. Multicultural shows = minstrel shows.

[Conservationist]

Restaurant food simply doesn't agree with me at this point in my life.

For restaurants to make money, they have to cut quality of ingredients.

[Lady L]

For restaurants to make money, they have to cut quality of ingredients.

Not true for all of them.. McDonald's sure but there are many restaurant owners that take quality very seriously. And, by doing that- they achieve making even more money. :)

[Creeping Death]

I just stick to good old fashioned white working class food such as juicy steaks, corned beef and potatoes, fish n chips. I love classy white food such as Greek cuisine oh man so tasty feta cheese salads mmmmm. I cant stand Chinese you feel hungry after an hour, and I simply will not go near Indian....barf....food if you can call it that .

[Grumpy Cat]

I like Indian food. Next to Greek, it's probably my favorite outside of my own culture. I can make it myself, and I enjoy cooking,

[Loki]

So...do you..? Do you think its keeping them here...whether it be Mexican...Chinese... kebab...:eek:..etc ( whatever foreign food is in your county )


No, I never eat pizza.

[Eldritch]

No, I never eat pizza.

Oh? May I asl why? I'm not trying to say that everyone should eat pizza, but I'm just curious.

Is it because of some health/moral/ethnic reasons, or perhaps because you just don't like it?

Ah okay. I actually like Pizza Hut's pan pizza a lot as well.

[Galloglaich]

We don't eat out very often. I'm turning into more of a recluse these days and it bothers me to waste money like that on a regular basis. When we first got married my wife and I would cook a variety of different meals, but as we got older our traditions have steered us towards cooking a lot of Northern European cuisine. A long time ago we started the tradition of cooking a traditional meal from one of our ancestral backgrounds for Yule/Christmas. Also, we used to have a HUGE St. Patrick's Day Party every year in which we would always cook up an Irish menu feast. This gradually expanded into other special days of the year and eventually into routine everyday life.

Our menu mostly draws from Scottish, German, Irish, and Norwegian recipes. It's a fun way to stay connected and teach our kids about their heritage. I have also really come to appreciate the wonderful flavorings. I find the diet really agrees with me. Of course, we also have quite a few meals that are traditionally "American", but in general even these meals are drawn from a European settler origin and fit in the same type of food. I'm a big fan of traditional PA Dutch meals.

There was an excellent German restaurant around for awhile that we would occasionally patronize (it required about a 45 min. drive), but unfortunately a fire put it out of business. We miss it.

We do appreciate food from other cultures and will occasionally splurge and treat ourselves to something we really like. We're big fans of quality Japanese food and will sometimes patronize a good restaurant from time to time. The same with Chinese and Korean, but I prefer Japanese. I'm not too big on Mexican or Italian, but I'll eat it. I love Greek food and there is an excellent authentic Greek restaurant locally that we occasionally go to (but more often order out). Other than those options, there's really not too much to choose from around here (which is fine by me).

Btw, @ Birka...one of these days we'll get around to cooking that Lithuanian meal you've been wanting, it'll be fun. I'm just afraid we'll never live up to the home cooked delicacies you grew up with.

[Birka]

I can attest to the excellent cooking coming from the Galloglaich kitchen. Their spread for St. Pattrick's day was a veritable feast of Irish and Scottish delicacies. The best dish I have ever tasted is Mrs. Galloglaich's Dublin Cottle. To die for. If they went into the restaurant business, I would eat no where else.

[Gwynyvyr]

I'm chubby and I love all food!
I live in a very *multi-cultural* (gag) area.
Most of the restaurants are owned and operated by blacks.
The food is greasy, over salted and nasty.

I have tried eating at a local Mexican cafe. It is run by a Mexican family. They have run this place for over 50 years. Good food, excellent service.

But personally, I prefer to cook my own food. I was raised in Europe (born in Germany) and as a child I had gotten so used to fresh ingredients and the wonderful foods (especially CHEESE!) I ate there that I became a dreadful, sulky adolescent when my parents couldn't find the same things here.

I shop at health food type stores and organic grocers and grow a lot of my own produce. When I was living on a farm, I raised, slaughtered and butchered out my own livestock. I miss that!

I eat out perhaps once every two months.
The rest of the time, I cook my own from scratch. Nothing better than a slice of warm bread, fresh from the oven with some real butter slathered on and a drizzle of honey....

*time for a snack...*

^Awesome!!! That's what I like to hear, that sounds sooo good.

Can you make home made butter milk biscuits and sawmill gravy???lol :D:D:D

Since my great grandmother died no one I know has been able to make em the way she did. OOh and homefries with a steamy helping of grits and fresh bacon. MMM MMM good. All the talk about good food is making me anxious to get back to Tennessee. :D:D:D:D Food!

I am not sure what sawmill gravy is...but my favorite breakfast is buttermilk biscuits, country ham, red-eye gravy,hash browns, fried eggs and grits!

...and I have *skilz*, dude...I can make my own sausage, know how to cure and smoke a ham and even know how to make blood sausage...

As for making my own bread...when I say "I make it from scratch", I mean it.
I don't buy flour.
I buy wheat and grind the flour myself.

Coming from the guy who eats chicken breast every single day this may sound funny, but I think people would get bored eating the same types of foods everyday. I don't find a problem with wishing to dine at a foreign restaurant, however I don't like how much more popular they have become than native food. For example, if I plug in 'mexican food' into my GPS, I get about 10,000 locations all within a 50 mile radius. But when I plug in 'german food' I get 4 entries, the closest one being some 70 miles away.

Here's what Sawmill Gravy is:

White gravy (Sawmill gravy in Appalachian cuisine) is the gravy typically used in biscuits and gravy and chicken-fried steak. It is essentially a Béchamel sauce, with the roux being made of meat drippings and flour. Milk or cream is added and thickened by the roux; once prepared, black pepper and bits of mild sausage or chicken liver are normally added. Besides white and sawmill gravy, common names include cream gravy, country gravy, and milk gravy.

OHHHH...we called it milk gravy or cream gravy! And I lived in the Appalachians!

My Irish grandmother (you'll see me refer to her as *Nanny*) made a gravy where she cooked the chicken livers in milk until tender, took them out and then mashed them, added a bit of the hot pan milk to them, mashed them some more and continued until the livers were *pourable*, then she made a roux, added the hot pan milk and the liver/milk mixture. Good over toast!
When I was little, she did beef liver the same way and would serve it to me over mashed potatoes. (I was a wee bit anemic and frequently refused to eat meat, but I never refused mashed taters and gravy!)
She had a name for that gravy, but I can't remember it right now...maybe one of our Irish friends can help?

Cream or milk gravy was on the table at almost every meal at Nanny's house, too.:)
I was a skinny little thing until I went to live with her for a year....:p

Where I was raised we always called it Sawmill, I was raised in the western part of the Central Appalachian range that extends into Middle Tennessee, County Overton, Livingston is where I lived. Where'd you live in the Appalachians? Gotta love the appalachians, good food, good people, and beautiful scenery. I could always call my aunt and uncle over in Co. Antrim and see if they know what that gravy is called. It'll just take forever for me to dial my phone, the phone numbers over there are long as hell, and the addresses, christ I recieved something in the mail and the address took up 8 lines lol.

I love Chinese food and have had my attempts at making similar meals to the original recipes.

I have failed everytime.

[Aliandrin]

Perhaps I'm not actually supporting them, though; when I got to the buffet I starve myself for a day and a half beforehand, then don't have to eat for two days after. Once or twice I have put egg rolls in my purse.

[Absinthe]

Could you please enlighten me, as to what's the difference between an egg roll and a spring roll? :)

[Aliandrin]

I think the egg roll is nonvegetarian. I know it has pork, often shrimp, and the spring roll is more vegetably and thus more springy, though in Australia I think they call an egg roll a spring roll.

I just stay away from the spring roll because it tends to have mushrooms in it.

I have lived in western North Carolina (crossroads of the Appalachians and the Smokeys!), West (by god) Virginia (eastern) and Virginia in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Don't worry about calling Ireland...I have had to do that before and it IS a pain!
I can ask a couple of my Irish friends online...may be a traditional dish or it may be something Nanny came up with on her own, I dunno. Nanny was from Donegal, so it may be a regional dish, too.
As for addresses that end up covering the envelope...try having a pen-pal in Wales, lol! I did during high school (class assignment in 8th grade geography). By the time I got done addressing the envelope I had writers cramp!

[Patriot311]

Good question, and you would be surprised at how many of us actually do.
I tend to grow my own food, and what I can't grow I will purchase at the local supermarket. The sad thing is, unless we found ourselves completely secluded from any supermarkets, restaurants, or most other public establishments, we are more then often most likely funding something racially destructive, and is harming us in the long run.
