This may be a normative example of White culture. What do you think?

What White person doesn't enjoy roadkill with pasta?

Wow, that's an eye opener. I guess I'm overly sensitive to cultural differences haven't spent any time among white folk. I feel bad for projecting my morality onto them.


Well, I have spent most of my life living around and among the Whites. I know how they are. I think this family would be more typical if they lived in a trailer, but it does do a good job of portraying their White vocabulary (albanics?) and cooking skills.

I even learned a good tip on how to tell when pasta is done.

This isn't "normative" of Aussie culture, but it is "normative" of Aussie Bogan culture.

Trent from Punchy ("Punchy" is Punchbowl, generally perceived to be a lower-class suburb of Sydney filled with "ethnics" and bogans.)

However, they're actually so prevalent that it's tempting to think that this is what Australian culture is. But it isn't.

You do realize, Ray, that I was being satirical. :biggrin: I'm sure you do, but I have been misunderstood on this board, before.

I have never heard the terms Bogen or Punchy before. It's amazing what one can learn on this board.

Although my post followed yours, Quas, I wasn't specifically addressing you. Just the point that "normative" can be rather subjective.

do you understand this is how Black culture is?


I grew up going to an elementary school that was 70% black, 30% white. I went to a mixed race high school; about 50/50. I dated several black girls and met their families. I served in the downtown LA mission; taught and baptized some who were black. Etc.

I'm not going to claim perfect knowledge, but I have enough experience to know with surety that liberals by and large have enslaved blacks and held them back from joining civilization. Many blacks will even privately admit that. But the mob and thug mentality they are forced to grow up with is too strong for most to escape it.

I like you bc and hope you will forgive me, but none of the things you've posted here ring true.

You dated several black girls? How did your folks feel about that? How did their folks feel about that?

Blacks would admit that Liberals were holding them back? Seriously? Did you miss the whole civil rights movement? It was in all the papers.

Please, get a grip. You're starting to sound like Droopy or even ldsfqs (GASP!).

And did you treat the black girls you allegedly dated like the slaves you think they are?

To the culture appearing in the kitchen:

At the times the feeding of mishies was our weekly program, my wife's favourites were typical Hungarian meals. The boys always answered the "how do you find this" very courteously.
Later, she changed the menu to be more international...


What is our specialty? I tell You an example to show it.
During a routine yearly Freiberg Temple attendance - no, not me! my wife and her womanfriends; I am the driver only - we prefer asian restaurants, as available by our purse. The items marked with three pepper symbols - bes. scharfe - are the equivalent of the average Asian savour in Hungary. (by the way. our next excursion to Freiberg, Germany is next week, 18-26 Aug...)

I don't know the details of H. kitchen.
Visit wiki Goulash (Hungarian: gulyás) ! It is detailed enough.

Warning: avoid American goulash !
As a descendant, of sorts, of Hungarian goulash, the only real connection seems to be the name...

I'm ashamed to admit that I have made American Goulash. I'm willing to repent if I can find a good recipe.

I think one trouble is the paprika. The kind we get here is not the kind that Martians use. I'll have to see if I can find some to order on the internet.
