Default Chef claims "ethnic" food aisles in supermarkets are "racist."

Columnist Amy Alkon doesn't agree.

"Oh, please.

"They also put all the Passover food in one place, because people who buy gefilte fish will probably go for the matzo and horseradish sauce, too."

It just looks like someone is trying to be controversial to get a bit of
attention. We can't all be expected to know all the ingredients and
condiments of other cultures.

There is a grocery store in Niagara Falls where I usually go for various
ethnic ingredients because they have a great selection and it is laid
out by ethnicity, making it easy to find my way around. They have a
section for eastern European foods, likes jams and jellies, pickled
vegetables, sauerkraut etc. There is one for Hispanic foods that has
spices, hard and and soft tortillas, salsas and sauces. Next to that
are the Caribbean foods. One the other side of the aisle are middle
eastern, Asian and south Asian foods. The freezer section is also
divided into various ethnic sections. They clientele don't seem to mind.
On the contrary, they have a very diverse range of shoppers.

I like "ethnic" aisles. I know exactly where to go for ingredients and products I need for dishes I want to prepare. It's like libraries, you don't look for cookbooks in the fiction aisle.

Some are a bit overly sensitive and look for slights where there are none.

Actually, they don't go far enough. We should eliminate ethnic
restaurants too. No more Italian, no more Chinese. no more Mexican.
Restaurants will simply be restaurants and cannot have a name that would
give an ethnic inference.

Each can have their own chef, but the menu most adhere to strict
government guidelines. No more ravioli. In the future they will be
stuffed dough pockets served with a tomato based sauce with herbs and a
grated hard cheese from cow's milk.

I'm going to order the Non-Regional Fried Chicken.

A solution to this would be an government approved RFID implanted chip
embedded into each person's (apologies if that term is specist) hand
(again, apologies to those with limb loss or congenital limb defects)
containing DNA information. Those with say, 85% Italian DNA could be
approved to dine at an Italian restaurant. This would be an effective
way to combat gastronomical cultural appropriation.

>I'm going to order the Non-Regional Fried Chicken.


Your poultural speciesism is appalling, and is triggering my anxiety.
People like you should be publicly bullied on Twitter.

I'll have the avian protein then. Cooked by a non fossil fuel method
such as a solar oven or volcanic eruption. .

That's much better virtue-signaling!

Hardwood charcoal (or just plain wood) is non-fossil fuel.

My favorite aisle at Times Supermarket and Safeway is the Asian section. I like to linger over there. OTOH, an Asian on the mainland might feel a bit self-conscience perusing the ethnic aisle. Therein, is where Mr. Chang is coming from. White folks don't have this problem. Asians do.

My guess is that a white would feel the same way if there was an aisle in deepest, darkest, Asia reserved especially for their kind.

I recently went down the aisle at Times supermarket and bought 4 cans of smoked scallops and a can of smoked oysters. I open the can, dump out the oil and add a mixture of shoyu and sugar. Holy smokes, it's great!

An Asian on the mainland would probably skip the ethnic aisle and go right
to the ethnic grocery store. Why buy the crappy La Choy stuff?

Asian-Americans probably like to go to American grocery stores because they're culturally American. They might feel a little funny in the ethnic aisle or may even avoid going past there because of their ethnicity/appearance. Who the heck buys La Choy?

I ate at a retirement home last week. They serve American food there. That stuff is easy on the stomach!

Somebody must, or the grocery stores wouldn't stock it.

I understand how it works, I'd just like to see photos of the kind of people that buys La Choy. I just can't imagine what that would be like.

I don't have to axe you. I've had a lot worse - at that same retirement home! I'm hoping that the food service has stepped up its game cause I might be eating there 2 times a month.

You say that as if it's easy.

Soon the Police aren't allowed to say "Hands up!" anymore, because
it's non inclusive and very confronting for people with only one hand.
