Cultural-Appropriation Breakfast Tacos!
Pillaging the cultures of others never tasted so good.
If you have been reading me for a while, then you know how much I hate the doctrine cudgel of “cultural appropriation” with a hot, hot hate. (See the links below for a sampling. )
You also know that I try to defy this soul-sucking, joy-crushing, humanity-hating doctrine whenever I can. Usually at breakfast time. Or lunch. Or whenever I feel like it. But it’s usually about food.
And so it was a couple of days ago when I needed some quick sustenance…
I opened the fridge and beheld some naan bread (which is redundant because “naan” means “bread”). It was getting a bit old and needed to get eaten, so I appropriated it from the fridge…and from everyone on the Indian subcontinent. Close to a billion people cruelly wronged—just so I could eat something good.
I then appropriated some eggs, which I had previously appropriated from the nesting boxes in which my neighbor’s chickens laid them. Apologies to every animal species that eats eggs—I’m stealin’ your moves, bro.
Then I fried up four pieces of bacon, which I appropriated from every human on the planet who actually knows what tastes good and isn’t afraid to eat it.
Then, I added some English cheddar. Sorry, Mother Country, we won the war. That’s mine now. Yoink.
Finally, I topped it off with hot sauce from the famous Columbia Restaurant in Tampa. Guess what, conquistadors—I conquistadored your spicy sauce.
This Indian Spanish English Whateverish breakfast taco was so good that I made a second one with the last piece of naan. And this time, I added the Columbia’s hot sauce AND some super-spicy gochujang-sriracha combo sauce—thus stealing the cultural treasures of both the Koreans and the Vietnamese.
And I’ll do it again.
Don’t let the woke crazies rob you of joy. Share yourself and your culture with others. Learn. Love. Enjoy!
Cultural-Appropriation Nachos on the Prairie
For all of you who’ve been hoping that I would one day convert the Freedom Scale into a food blog, your patient wait is over!
American Rapper REACTS to Eivør's 'Trollabundin'
Yesterday, we touched on the left’s truly evil doctrine of cultural appropriation. Since we’re on the subject, let’s talk about it for #FreedomMusicFriday.
As a musician, I have engaged in cultural appropriation on a regular basis for decades. I have joyfully appropriated blues and reggae and jazz, even klezmer music on the rare occasion it has been on the sonic menu. I even remember a time when musical appropriation from all corners of the globe became a genre, we called it "World Music" and all the new agers thought it was the greatest thing and Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel were masters of the form.
And don't get me started on food. LOL
nothing more fun than experimenting with different things in the fridge ! thanks to Mexican, Indian, and many other immigrants (I am originally from Belgium) for spicing up the bland cooking of Georgia USA.
