[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to point out, especially to the fool who thought the copy/paste from reddit had any merit to it, that what people like to mock as "bland midwestern" was pretty much the same across the entire United States until fairly recently. And actually still is. And plenty of people up and down the East Coast eat the same casseroles and meat and potato diet.

It's popular for certain people to mock the midwest probably because they get a self-righteous thrill mocking "white bread" people. But, of course, they're only ignorant and childish and, when you get down to it, outright stupid. [/quote]

I agree. When people describe the "midwest" as OP has, they mean it as an insult and have no idea they are describing multiple states with different foods, nationalities represented, etc. Ignorant OP wants to put hundreds of thousands of people in a box and stereotype just like people stereotype "the blacks" as though they are all the same.  ops premise seems to be that the FMV is some sort of food mecca. It is not.News flash OP..when I moved to DC 25 years ago, DC had fewer Michelin star restaurants than my Midwest city I came ftom. Now, apart from expensive fine dining, DC has nothing to write home about. [/quote]
