Things were so much better in the good old days before all this tellurocratic degeneracy. Why can't we go back to le good old days, when orang kaya wielded a certain sort of long-distance maritime suzerainty over the downstream vassals of their domain. I was born in le wrong century, *tips songkok*

It's like a smooth paste with stabilizers to keep it together. Smells like dog food and it's very salty. Had to eat a room-temperature can of it once, I don't want any ever again.
Cameron Stewart
Thanks. Never had it and now I know I did the right thing.
Jonathan Sanders
While the description is correct, the eating at room temperature was a serious mistake. Nobody does that except WW2 soldiers in trenches. The correct way to eat spam is to pan fry it. It's pretty ok, arguably even good (in a disgusting sort of way), if you fry it and eat it hot, with some eggs, or garlic fried rice.
Jace Rogers
Get off the pipe, asshole.
Bentley Reyes
And this is probably one of the biggest reasons for the acceptance of the garbage US food culture arising in the 50's and still lingering today: Men were fucking tired. It's also why the men who fought and helped win WWII accepted the feminized macro adjunct lagers that developed to supply the weak feminized men unable to fight and the women that remained at home. American culture suffered terribly from WWII.

It's not much different from eating any of a billion different kinds of processed meat or sausage
Most of them aren't very pleasant if you eat them at room temperature
Nathaniel Price
Even if you pan fry it thin and crispy it's still shit. Has an odour between loaf dog and cat food and a similar foamy texture. Ignore the inevitable replies of polynesian spam shills and just get bacon.
Ryan Roberts
Underrated post.
Blake Hernandez
You crusty mouthed virgin, NO. That is absolutely false. Go back to your containment board. Men who came home from WWII had already become accustomed to foods like peocessed cheese, spam, jello, and other long-lasting shelf stable foods. While at home, staples were also rationed, people were encouraged to grow their own victory gardens, and women were working in factories supporting the war effort. By the time it was all over, and couples and families were able to unite, many of the enlisted men and women (yes, women were in WWII as well, functioning as nurses, drivers, secretaries, and other non-combat positions but in combat zones), they had a taste for that stuff. My grandfather fought in WWII, and my Dad fought in Korea, and they both actually enjoyed dishes that featured foods from that time, but were also thankful for the abundance of fresh foods and new foods. My dad especially loves trying new foods even now, at 84, but he'll still take down a plate of fried spam and eggs like a champion, and loves jello salads.
Nolan Walker
Bitter much Fritz? Maybe next time elect a führer who won't micromanage your military. Dumbfuck.
Lucas Ross
I forgot to say (and this is funny) that my dad has NEVER eaten liver since I've been alive, because apparently he had to eat so much of it in the service, he can't even stand the smell. Other stuff they ate he's fine with, and he loves all kinds of food, but that is a huge NOPE. I have other funny stories related to his service, but their not so much about food. Although, another service oriented food he still likes is SOS.
Jason Jackson

And how does that refute my assertion that post WWII saw the decline of any kind of american food culture? Take a couple steps back there, dear.

The people who complain about wartime food are, in fact, the spoiled children of families that shirked their responsibility to the rationing efforts.
Austin Cook
People say this, but post-industrial American food culture was shite to begin with. Look through any pre-war American cookbook and try to find anything that you'd actually make by virtue of anything but the novelty of making vintage food. It's not as bad as post-war food given that there's actual meat and shit, but it's not anything to write home about either. Probably on par with Swedish food in terms of palatability.
Of course, it was also much more difficult to cook and keep a home prior to modern amenities and most spices and 'exotic' foods like bananas were seldom available.The horrible post-war recipes were largely the responsibility of big food companies pushing them to sell their wares. There's a reason why housewives of the 50's were so hooked on barbiturates; all they had to do with themselves after working in the war effort was cook this bullshit and run a vacuum every so often. There just wasn't enough work to do to live a purposeful life.

my grandparents lived in communist hungary, while this strawman husband "drug" his aching body back from an 8 hour shift with 4 hours at the bar, they were being beaten and literally murdered by the police. did they enjoy a nice hot home-cooked meal when they got home? no, they got fucking stale bread and dirty tap water that gave them the shits
spousal abuse was common in the '50s because the men of that time were fucking pussies who couldnt hack a 9-5 while the rest of the world was in flames. greatest generation, how great x ddd

I thought American multiculturalism fixed that problem? Perhaps this is more of German/Anglo/Irish American thing. I'm sure the average French/Italian/Japanese/Jewish American in the early 20th century were still cooking their traditional foods which were way better than the generic white American foods.

Justin White
Regardless if all the US did was jewishly sell shit and loan money to soviets and brits, the war would have gone vastly differently were it not for us. Plus we totally 1v1'd Japan in the most massive naval battles of history. Eurocucks always forget about that whole other massive war that was going on at the same time.
Jace Ortiz
Hey don't forget us Aussies you cunt. We helped.
Gavin Perez
I gave you credit for supplying the britcucks and soviet shitters. The soviets in particular would've lost if not for that. Japan was a tiny ass nation facing your insane industrial capacity, nobody thought they were going to win. It was essentially your own private war, that's why it's not touched upon much in Europe.
Thanks for ruining the west btw lad, real nice
Ryder Lewis

It was not organic, the concept did not exist. Pesticides in the 50's were king.

Ryder Walker
Wrong. People who grew up prior to WWII when virtually all farming was done traditionally without industrial chemicals still used those methods for home gardens in the 50's. It was the generation that came of age with the ascendancy of big agri-chemical that thought the only way you could grow a vegetable was by saturating it with poison.
Jeremiah Moore
>the only way you could grow a vegetable was by saturating it with poison. its was more to increase crop yields, which it still does extremely well.
it was pretty common to have a large side garden fenced off for personal use though without pesticides.
Noah Powell
It sounds like you're putting a blue collar worker into a middle class setting...or getting pre-WWII factory workers confused with middle class 1950's American dads? People who ate this and whose wives could afford to stay home and work all day on jello most likely didn't work 12+ hours a day in a factory and probably worked in large scale offices right? Especially since veterans were given support from the government to go to college
Jackson Carter
except that you could be a middle class blue collar worker in the 50's and have a stay at home wife. In fact Just having a high school degree was enough to get into most trades and get a job that would solidly place you middle class. Keep in mind CEO's of companies only made about 15X the average worker salary then. Also the top tax rate was approaching 90%
Grayson Ramirez

Austin Brooks
When I was enlisted in the USAF I would hear shit about the quality of the food there all the time.
I'm not saying I was dining at the fucking Ritz but the way you'd hear some people talk you would think we were serving people bush meat stewed in lukewarm piss.
There is a stark difference between food that is highly processed and prepared en masse and food that is straight up inedible.
Benjamin Cook
While I'll admit that Boomers have marginalized newer generations, It's also not their fault your dumbass Hungarian grandparents didn't flee to someplace that wasn't a Communist shithole.
Also, spousal abuse happened because it was socially acceptable to deliver corporeal punishment to your wife if she was in the wrong, but some people took that and translated it as "beat your wife anytime something bad happens to you".
Eli Davis
If you think my adjunct perspectives are that unusual, I suggest you go sit and have real conversations with 20th century war vets (as far back as you can find) and see what they have to say.
