Yup. And they've replaced a paradigm of "bland is clean and pure and classy whiteness" with "bland is unsophisticated small-town whiteness".

Not this old chestnut again. The toast sandwich was intended as invalid cookery, because before modern medicine (the Victorians didn't even have ASPIRIN), recovering from a serious illness meant a long convalescent period when one would only want very simple plain food. Nobody makes them now.

Reasons I think Autistic people love inside jokes: Theyâre scripted. You know what to expect. AND whatâs expected of you. Repetition is soothing! Often includes a bond over a shared interest or experience and adds to a sense of security. đ«¶đ» Itâs a stim! A shared vocal stim! Such Autistic joy! đ„č

There's a British blogger in Bavaria who says that every so often someone will tell him that they visited the UK and the food was awful. He asks them "which Wetherspoons did you visit?" and they invariably reply "how did you know?"

That's like saying that any food which wasn't originally eaten by Native Americans can't be "American cuisine" and nobody believes that.
