My husband liked “White Guy Tacos”, he was from KC and boiled food and barbecue was all he ever knew. His family did not even put mustard into potato salad.

Flagging chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder as "spicy" only reinforces the stereotype that these people don't eat anything spicy. The fact that this won some kind of spicy recipe contest is even more proof.

My eyes rolled at this so hard they scored a strike in two separate lanes.

I don't know about garlic powder or onion powder in the US but here in Germany it's as bland as it can get. Garlic powder just tastes a bit weird - with some faint resemblence to garlic, but only if you really concentrate - and onion powder tastes like nothing. It literally has no flavor.

They're very convenient though, and excellent when you want to feel like you spiced things up without actually spicing things up. They're like a flavor placebo.

I always felt like garlic and onion powder smelled like the spice. But didn't have the flavor.

I heard recent they're made from the skins... So that tracks.

even in some commercial kitchens, the powders get confused with the granulated renditions... night & day, as it were. granules are the real deal - or, well, at least far closer to substantive than the powders.

Most garlic/onion powder over here is like that too, though I suspect that has more to do with the fact that the process of drying and powdering either completely drives out or utterly obliterates the actual flavor compounds involved.

I've tried freeze drying garlic scapes (the equivalent of a green onion, but from a garlic plant) and the result had practically NO garlic flavor at all. And since an industrial scope processing plant wouldn't be nearly as careful and delicate with the process I can't imagine they'd fare much better.

Stolen pallor. Heh heh heh. I’m stealing that.

The gall to say " what if Trump said Black tacos..." like two weeks after he got called out for always going on about "Black jobs" is *chef's kiss*.

I freaking love this video. Thank you Kamala for recognizing the genius of Prince. You already had my vote, but if you didn’t have it that would have won it. Walz, could you please mention Bad Company or Free? That would get you my father’s vote and probably some of his friends’.

So they don't see the difference between a person making fun of HIS OWN food preferences (self-deprecating humor) and a person making fun of someone else's preferences (mean-spiritedness)? I'm shocked.

it really never fails to depress, right? the flag is our country. the map is the territory. the antiracists are the real racists. social justice is the collapse of civilization.

they can't be trusted to understand or explain what they're outraged about. and they can vote!

the sickest irony is how the maga pols work [at this point it doesn't even matter which ones are doing it intentionally and which ones aren't] to subvert democracy ... while depending [mostly] on the votes of folks who are [absolutely unintentionally] the best argument against democracy.

These poor fools. They blew right past the REAL Time Walz scandal, which is (obviously) putting "Tots" in a hot dish. And they claim to be protecting the children.

honestly that recipe sounds awful. but we do not specialize in 'hot dish' here in Chicago. we are too busy making pizza.

Same in the west except it's green chili. It's chili roasting season at the farmers market!

If I’m understanding correctly, yesterday Tim Walz mocked himself and trump mocked Medal of Honor recipients again.

And the “patriots” on the right are angry at Tim? I got that right?

Two very important things:

1. Typo, Dok. It's STOLLEN PALLOR.

2. Turkey Taco Tot Hotdish is really hard to say. Try saying it five times fast.

MARCUS: This isn’t cute. Walz is being used as a clown to mock white people. If Walz doesn’t like spicy food that’s fine, but it has nothing to do with being a white guy.

If you think George Floyd's death was much ado about nothing, but this Tim Walz quip is an outrage that will not stand, you just might be a deeply ridiculous person, I mean, you just might be a conservative.

What's even funnier is the idea that "taco sauce" and "mild green chiles" ARE SPICY omg these guys constantly self-own

Also, the thing about white supremacists is "We get to be racist about YOU, YOU don't get to be racist about ME!"
