- we use fresh minced garlic, ginger, herbs, onions, tomatoes.
- we grate our own cheese
- we make our own pasta, pasta sauce, rotis, bread, yogurt, ghee.
- yes to using kerrigold butter.
- we also make fresh cream from raw milk. we use farm fresh eggs. You have to be careful using it and hygiene is very important.
- we grind our own meat instead of buying it from store. The quality and taste is amazing.
- I only use basmati rice imported from India and I make it in the traditional way - wash three times, cook in water like pasta.
- we like quinoa but we no longer eat it plain. we mainly make a spicy upma or pilaf out of it. That is the only way we can make it appealing.
- we make our own tea masala. roast, grind and brew our own coffee.
- we do not use sugar substitute. We use honey, sugar or jaggery. I also make a puree of dates to sweeten my drinks.

Ok, but you sound kind of insufferable.

OK, But you got triggered and wrote a mean post. So, what does that make you? Just a low class, low bred beetch who is also eating shit food!

LOL. They come to my house and beg for cookies and macaroni and cheese.

Lol. No. Not chipotle because of e.coli concern and because it is easy to rustle up a better bowl at home. We are very good cooks.
However, yes, they are getting huge platters of sushi rolls every time they can from our corner sushi place.

There are lots of threads like this one but the worst comments are always the people who generalize everything "American". You're not a snob; you're ignorant.

Please, hospitality is not part of DCUM culture. You will die if you have to give snacks to anyone. Y'all are not feeding your own family and spend time beetching about one event in the year where you may host a few family members. LOL. There are suicide line for Turkey Day stress.

But, aside from all of that - we make awesome cookies and mac and cheese at home. Just better ingredients. No need to eat your dollar store food.

Yes, don't call it "American". The word "American" cannot stand for everything that is in poor taste or lacking in manners, culture or education. American cannot stand for ugliness, stupidity and boorishness.

The Japanese do some amazing renditions of Western desserts that are usually better than the original. I think it has to do with their more restrained use of sugar. I love me a Japanese cream puff!!

Don't agree with the 'usually better than the original', but yes, Japanese often excel at patisserie. Focus on technical precision is shared by both ways of cooking. However, an Opera cake made by a Japanese chef doesn't make it an Asian dessert.

Panera soups taste bad enough when they’re freshly made I can’t imagine what they taste like sitting in a grocery store for a few days.

panera soups are all frozen. they come in bags to the store.

This all sounds amazing to me. I do a lot of these things, and wish I had the time to do a lot more of them. I have one kid who is really into good food and appreciates this kind of effort, and another who thinks that Hidden Valley Ranch and Kraft Mac and Cheese are the greatest things ever invented. I hope the latter one comes around eventually, but we shall see.

I alluded to this in a prior comment, but American cuisine is highly diverse and an American insinuating that American food is just McDonald’s and generally sweet, processed foods demonstrates an odd mix of classism and lack of knowledge (or just forgetfulness). Crab bakes. Gumbo. Various barbecue styles. Text Mex. American Indian “tacos.” Chicago deep dish pizza. Soul food. Clam chowder.

I don’t expect non-American to have a familiarity with regional American cuisine but I think Americans should know about it and take it into consideration when discussing American foods.

Spot on, other than the reference to Chicago deep dish "pizza," which, in the words of Jon Stewart, is an affront to God and man and all things holy.

You are correct. However, are you really claiming that some pretty obvious and not-so-great trends of how people are eating pretty much all over the US do not exist?

No I’m not.
