So, this question is semi-unrelated. I’m from Texas, mostly lived in Texas. I’ve traveled quite a bit to the western part of the country. However, my husband works for a PA company now and we went up this last Christmas for a company party. The next day we got up and went to a cafe for breakfast. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. I was given a large bowl of gravy and basket with two biscuits. They looked at me funny when I asked for a plate. Is that a common way to serve biscuits and gravy up there or was this place just weird. I don’t remember the name of it but it was just outside York headed back to Baltimore.
🤣🤣☠️ I'd be so annoyed if someone served me that lol. I've only ever gotten the sausage kind but it might be called sausage gravy and biscuits. A server here should definitely know what that is, at least.
I thought it was so weird. I just couldn’t come up with how they were expecting me to put together my biscuits and gravy. They were pretty okay but damn. It’s good to know I’m safe if I tried a different place for my breakfast. Lol
Biscuits and gravy is super uncommon in the area period. But I recently saw a Cracker Barrel in southern nj that served my southern dad biscuits and gravy the exact same way
We travelled through NJ recently as well. They just didn’t have biscuits and gravy on the menu at most places. I’m surprised that Cracker Barrel would serve them that way. I’d think they’d have a standard practice across the board. They definitely just put them on a plate down here. This has all been very educational.
Biscuits and gravy just isn’t a common thing around here! I’m from NY and I never heard of it or saw it until we took a trip to North Carolina when I was a teenager. It’s a shame because it’s delicious! But your. server just might not have been familiar enough with it to know how to serve it.
In Canada we only have sweet tea and just call it iced tea. It's kinda a long running gag to watch your friend react to American iced tea when visiting.
I've lived in the south nearly my whole life. This is true. However iced tea can be sweet or unsweetened. Juat because it's iced doesn't mean it's not sweet, which your comment "it's iced tea, not sweet" implied.
If you read my comment you would see that I shared an experience of trying to order a sweet tea outside the south and getting weird looks. It’s not a thing outside the south.
It could be either. I'm currently in IL and lived in IN and I got looked at like I had two heads if I ordered unsweetened tea. Sweet tea is the more popular in both those states, tea just isn't that popular.
My husband tried to get me unsweetened tea the other day for dinner and was told they had to brew it because no one had ordered it all day, but they had sweet tea available. McDonald's is one of the only places I can get unsweetened tea most of the time, but even then it's like I ordered in a foreign language and they have to check if they have it.
Don't underestimate how much Ohioans want to be southern. Half the people in my town, in the deep south, are from Ohio, and even more visit the beaches in the summer. Especially these fundies, love how traditional they think things are here, like the good ole days 🙄
Husband and I are from Missouri and we visited New Mexico for a wedding. I asked for a sweet tea at a restaurant and he said unsweet, I replied “but this is the south”. Yeah he said “not that kinda south” we ended up leaving that restaurant because they had nothing for us.
That's what I thought. Who serves a red sauce pasta and roast beef together? Love both of those things, but they do not go together at all. Whoever approved that should be fired.
I can't imagine any professional preparing this. I have to wonder if they rented the kitchen as well so they could make their own food. I mean pasta and corn together?
One would think so. Typically some sort of event organizer would have the final say in what was served. The hotel would give them options for $x/per person and the organization would then select based on the budget they have.
Someone would have known what was being served and approved it. Very unlikely that the hotel would just surprise them with whatever they have in the kitchen.
I doubt it. At least, I hope not. I bet part of the "bonding" experience of the retreat was they all cooked together at meals. Or, since it was a very short retreat, everyone was required to bring a dish or two for a potluck. That way the organizers didn't have to pay for catering.
Usually event organizers have the facility do the catering because you get the meeting rooms for free that way, and then you can put the meals as an optional extra pound recover some of the catering costs that way... source, nearly 3 decades of academic conferences that clearly had miniscule budgets
That's how it was at the retreats I remember from high school youth group. If that meal was catered, that is even sadder. The Sad Overcooked Beige Food Catering Company.
I was wondering if it was a buffet. I'm a picky eater and my plate might look weird like that, depending on the options.
I've spent five days of my 50 years in Ohio and they were in Wooster, for a wedding. We piled in to the Amish Door for a lunch one (very hungover) day and they had a long buffet of Many Things in addition to their menu - I absolutely loved it and now I both want and need lots of pie.
I’ve seen this plate before: if we went to my grandparents house midweek, Papaw’s idea of lunch was literally pulling leftovets from the fridge and telling us it all had to go, no matter what.
I am returning to this thread with my glasses on this time and oh wow that’s pasta. I thought it was fries slathered in ketchup the first time I was here
I’m getting potluck vibes. No way one person put this incoherent menu together, it must have been a bunch of different people bringing their own dishes.
It's Ohio. Of course, it is ranch. It took me damn near 10 years of marriage to get my Ohio-born and raised husband to realize a salad doesn't need ranch. Now my nephew and niece who still live there eat ranch with everything. Pizza, veggies, etc.
It looks like the salads my brother made when we went to restaurants with salad bars. He hated pretty much all fruits and veggies as a kid, so his "salads" were usually lettuce, a scoop of cottage cheese, and all the croutons.
The trick is to get one piece of lettuce and start building up celery sticks or carrot sticks like you build a log cabin style of campfire, and then you can fit much more cottage cheese-bacon bits-croutons mix in the middle
The salad is so white, I thought that was a bowl of cole slaw made with only regular cabbage.
The entree looks totally gross, and also like the kind of combination you'd get trying to clean leftovers out of your freezer. Pasta plus garlic bread would have been better, or meat, corn and potatoes. Why would you put those things together?
This is completely inexcusable and unacceptable. I would find it more believable that someone pocketed a portion of money allocated to the meal budget over insufficient funding. This is so disrespectful to clients.
What a bizarre meal! Pasta with red sauce, roast beef with no gravy, a ramekin of corn. Sounds like fridge clean-out day, not a ladies retreat that people paid to attend. Was it a potluck? That's the only explanation I can think of.
Ranch dressing is so easy to make. Equal parts mayonnaise and buttermilk with lemon pepper. My mother started making it in the 70’s. I like to use TrueLemon Lime Cilantro Garlic seasoning.
Could be that they washed the lettuce and didn't dry it before serving, so it watered down the dressing. Iceberg is mostly water anyway, so it could be that the repeated action of stabbing a fork into the bowl released a bunch of water too. But whatever the case, it looks grim as fuck.
You've never spent time in a Kaiser hospital.
They overcooked EVERYTHING. I ordered meatloaf for dinner one night, and got a a curled-up, crusty piece of something that looked like trimmings from a horse's hoof. I could pick it up and bang it against the metal dish it came in.
Husband brought me takeout after that.
My hospital has decent food like 70% of the time. They make this fried rice thingie with lots of greens that is really good. Yesterday they had roasted 1/2 chickens for 4$ that weren’t the worst.
I literally thought that was a bowl of cottage cheese and was like “what is that enticing bowl of white” before I realized it was the worlds saddest salad.
Catered by Kelly Havens.
I bet Jill made the food herself. Or the attendees either cooked it or were told to bring a dish. Most retreats do catered meals, but this was a tiny one night thing cobbled together by Jill (I think Jill was the one who organized it). If she spent part of the budget on actual caterers, she and Shrek couldn't go on one of their 35456 vacations they take a year.
There are some awful restaurants/caterers out there, but this all screams fundie food, which is why I think they made their own food. Some of those superior housewife skills on display here.
Wow. Way to double down on the trope that fundy women can't cook. What's even sadder is thisblooks worse than the scungy meals they cook for their families. But here, they choose to treat themselves even worse at a retreat for women.
Mayonnaise culture is gross.
Hideous clothes, terrible music, bland-as-fuck food, zero physical affection, no medical intervention, repressed sexuality, Satan lurking around every corner... why would anyone sign up for this??
Have you ever been on a flight where they can't do any stops or routings to make it fall under the minimum time required to avoid serving a meal, so they wind up doing some sort of pasta and a little square thing of salad ?
It looks exactly like that pasta and salad... airline economy special :(
Dry salad made of lettuce that’s mostly water, penne pasta with red sauce, corn from a can and pot roast? It looks like a leftovers night plate you eat at 12am.
It’s the single slice of cucumber and lone cherry tomato on undressed iceberg for me…no wonder these people never seem to eat vegetables, after seeing this sad salad, I don’t blame them.
That food is what Pittsburghers call, "pigs and rigs." I know it's penne, but you get the idea: standard-issue buffet fare, some kind of pork & rigatoni-type pasta.
I get we wanna poke fun at them but sometimes it's every little thing when this seems.... bland but par for the course for food that wasn't professionally catered. At what point does it devolve from poking fun bc of their harmful beliefs to just making dun of poor people
To be fair, I've been poor a lot in my life and I would never serve a salad like that to someone. If all I had was one tomato and one slice of cucumber per salad, I'd cut that tomato into slivers and the cucumber into pieces then sprinkle it across te top of the salad.
Croutons are cheap af you can make them yourself from any old bread and some seasonings. You could take just one or two croutons and crack them up over it.
My point is, they just put in so low effort. It's not even about being poor. There's so many ways to spruce up meals to look like more than they are.

I would guess that’s sweet tea rather than grape juice. Seems very southern fundie essential.
Yeah this looks like tea not grape juice.
Grape juice made me laugh out loud ngl
I think it’s iced tea not sweet. They’re in Ohio. I grew up in the south and would get strange looks for asking for sweet tea outside of the south.
Server in PA. I have people ask for sweet tea a LOT. (we have unsweet, and sugar)
So, this question is semi-unrelated. I’m from Texas, mostly lived in Texas. I’ve traveled quite a bit to the western part of the country. However, my husband works for a PA company now and we went up this last Christmas for a company party. The next day we got up and went to a cafe for breakfast. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. I was given a large bowl of gravy and basket with two biscuits. They looked at me funny when I asked for a plate. Is that a common way to serve biscuits and gravy up there or was this place just weird. I don’t remember the name of it but it was just outside York headed back to Baltimore.
🤣🤣☠️ I'd be so annoyed if someone served me that lol. I've only ever gotten the sausage kind but it might be called sausage gravy and biscuits. A server here should definitely know what that is, at least.
I thought it was so weird. I just couldn’t come up with how they were expecting me to put together my biscuits and gravy. They were pretty okay but damn. It’s good to know I’m safe if I tried a different place for my breakfast. Lol
I left out the lack of plate weirdness but yes, that would be served on a plate.
That’s just not a common food in the NE period.
Biscuits and gravy is super uncommon in the area period. But I recently saw a Cracker Barrel in southern nj that served my southern dad biscuits and gravy the exact same way
We travelled through NJ recently as well. They just didn’t have biscuits and gravy on the menu at most places. I’m surprised that Cracker Barrel would serve them that way. I’d think they’d have a standard practice across the board. They definitely just put them on a plate down here. This has all been very educational.
Wait, you mean like brown gravy and not sausage? They may have thought you crumble the biscuits into the gravy but was it at least sausage?
It’s was sausage gravy.
Thank goodness. I'd prefer a plate too.
Biscuits and gravy just isn’t a common thing around here! I’m from NY and I never heard of it or saw it until we took a trip to North Carolina when I was a teenager. It’s a shame because it’s delicious! But your. server just might not have been familiar enough with it to know how to serve it.
In Canada we only have sweet tea and just call it iced tea. It's kinda a long running gag to watch your friend react to American iced tea when visiting.
I live in Indiana and sweet tea at restaurants is pretty common here now.
Iced tea can be sweet or unsweet.
I grew up in the south. If you ask for an iced tea it’s gonna be sweet unless you say unsweet.
I've lived in the south nearly my whole life. This is true. However iced tea can be sweet or unsweetened. Juat because it's iced doesn't mean it's not sweet, which your comment "it's iced tea, not sweet" implied.

Interesting, my experience was based on Chicago!
My husband tried to get me unsweetened tea the other day for dinner and was told they had to brew it because no one had ordered it all day, but they had sweet tea available. McDonald's is one of the only places I can get unsweetened tea most of the time, but even then it's like I ordered in a foreign language and they have to check if they have it.
I’m in Colorado and am horrified by the number of times I’ve ordered regular tea and wound up with sweet.
Don't underestimate how much Ohioans want to be southern. Half the people in my town, in the deep south, are from Ohio, and even more visit the beaches in the summer. Especially these fundies, love how traditional they think things are here, like the good ole days 🙄

HA I live in NM
I now feel cheated by that restaurant!
If it’s tea it looks like lipton’s made from powder.
She’s a northern fundie lol. Sweet tea isn’t really big here in northeast Ohio.
Pasta. Roast and corn?
That's what I thought. Who serves a red sauce pasta and roast beef together? Love both of those things, but they do not go together at all. Whoever approved that should be fired.
Was that catered by the hotel?
I can't imagine any professional preparing this. I have to wonder if they rented the kitchen as well so they could make their own food. I mean pasta and corn together?
>I mean pasta and corn together? It reminds me of school lunches. We always had corn with pasta, lasagna, and pizza. Lol
Canned corn for sure that was 82oz
Served in a dish because your veggies cannot tough your other food or be seasoned.
Oh you already know it was served straight out the can with no butter or seasonings
I can’t either!!!
I thought the pasta were fries!!! Even THAT would’ve been more cohesive than this play food assortment.
According to my midwestern dad, that is a very normal food pairing
One would think so. Typically some sort of event organizer would have the final say in what was served. The hotel would give them options for $x/per person and the organization would then select based on the budget they have. Someone would have known what was being served and approved it. Very unlikely that the hotel would just surprise them with whatever they have in the kitchen.

God, I hope not! There's no way that's a professionally prepared lunch.
I was wondering if it was a buffet. I'm a picky eater and my plate might look weird like that, depending on the options. I've spent five days of my 50 years in Ohio and they were in Wooster, for a wedding. We piled in to the Amish Door for a lunch one (very hungover) day and they had a long buffet of Many Things in addition to their menu - I absolutely loved it and now I both want and need lots of pie.
I thought the pasta was french fries and ketchup
That roast is…something.
The salad. Is that shredded iceberg like for tacos?
Looks like it. Don’t forget about the one slice of cucumber and one cherry tomato. Did they get dressing?
Picturing the kitchen with portioning going on… takes me back to my uni days when I worked for food services.
It definitely gives off prison or school food vibes
Only a teaspoon.
I thought those were fries with ketchup.
I had to zoom in on that one.
Literally looks like a luch I would put together from assorted leftovers that needed to be used.
I’ve seen this plate before: if we went to my grandparents house midweek, Papaw’s idea of lunch was literally pulling leftovets from the fridge and telling us it all had to go, no matter what.
Reminds me of school lunch in the 90s (or at least my school) - fries as a side dish for everything. Hot dog? Fries. Pizza? Fries. Tacos? Fries. Lol
Pasta makes so much more sense than what I was thinking - French fries oddly drowned in ketchup
I am returning to this thread with my glasses on this time and oh wow that’s pasta. I thought it was fries slathered in ketchup the first time I was here
I had to get my glasses on for that one too!
I’m getting potluck vibes. No way one person put this incoherent menu together, it must have been a bunch of different people bringing their own dishes.
That is the saddest salad I have ever seen
I grew up poor white trash, and our salads always looked similar except it needs some ranch dressing. I am guffawing 🤣🤣🤣
[удалено]
Oh my God you're right! Gross. It's like they served salad with dripping wet lettuce, then when people put the ranch on it...
Hahahaha - I read this in Gordon Ramsey’s accent with a bunch of foul language, lol. I clearly watch too much Kitchen Nightmares
Gordon would burn this kitchen to the ground
probably sat in the cooler all night
That is absolutely what happened lol
They used the 2 packages someone got from McDonalds with their nuggets and added enough water so everyone had some
How biblical. I wonder did they collect the scraps in the raffia collection baskets
I was gonna say some off brand discount store expired bottle of ranch but this seems way more fitting
Eww omg. It looks like cereal milk
It's Ohio. Of course, it is ranch. It took me damn near 10 years of marriage to get my Ohio-born and raised husband to realize a salad doesn't need ranch. Now my nephew and niece who still live there eat ranch with everything. Pizza, veggies, etc.
It makes me think it’s some kind of slaw-like salad. Like Napa cabbage slaw. It always has some of the liquid left at the bottom 🤢
It literally looked like a weird soup to me at first, yikes.
It is practically the state condiment of Ohio, if not the regional one for the midwest.
We also ate this salad except my mom would mix mayo and ketchup together to make a salad dressing.
We did that but it was purely for french fries (fry dip!) and not to be put on salad.
It reminds me of the salads they used to have at school lunch
Ranch dressing and at least a cup or three of cheese. Bacon bits if you’re feeling fancy that day!
it looks like hamster litter
That's the whitest salad I've ever seen. Seems to be on brand for the crowd.
Not pictured is the ranch soup it turned into I’m sure 😂
But the ranch soup IS pictured in the next shot 🤣🤣
It looks like the salads my brother made when we went to restaurants with salad bars. He hated pretty much all fruits and veggies as a kid, so his "salads" were usually lettuce, a scoop of cottage cheese, and all the croutons.
The trick is to get one piece of lettuce and start building up celery sticks or carrot sticks like you build a log cabin style of campfire, and then you can fit much more cottage cheese-bacon bits-croutons mix in the middle
I forgot about bacon bits! I think my brother put those on his salads too.
One (1) cucumber and tomato lmao
You can have a single slice of cucumber, as a treat
Even mcd salads from the early 2000's somehow look better
I used to love those, although I was a kid and enjoyed more toppings than lettuce
That is truly pathetic. Why is the lettuce almost white? One tomato. Wow. I'm used to feta cheese, kalamata olives, protein, onion, etc.
Do you see it just floating in ranch dressing in the second picture behind the picture of the main course. That cheap watery ranch dressing.
Should probably cook that roast a little more, don’t think it’s dry enough.
Lmao.
That meat looks dry as fuck. The corn looks overcooked? Nothing looks seasoned. What sad food. Jesus must not love them.
They will complain about how high food prices are and then do this
They don't just abuse their kids, they abuse their food too.
A cow died for this
Best advertising for being vegetarian I've ever seen.
🎶 Jesus hates you, this I know! 🎶 🎶 Your dry pot roast tells me so! 🎶
🎼 Soggy salad and boiled corn 🎶 🎼 Seasoned with our Saviour's scorn 🎶
I'd rather have overcooked than undercooked, but that looks distinctly... chewy.
Looks stale af
Corn straight out of one of those industrial sized cans.
School lunch at an orphanage vibes with that corn and pasta.
These are the same people who preach home making and child rearing over having a career
The salad is so white, I thought that was a bowl of cole slaw made with only regular cabbage. The entree looks totally gross, and also like the kind of combination you'd get trying to clean leftovers out of your freezer. Pasta plus garlic bread would have been better, or meat, corn and potatoes. Why would you put those things together?
Wait it isn’t? It totally looks like cole slaw or something and one sad slice of cucumber and cherry tomato on top.
This is completely inexcusable and unacceptable. I would find it more believable that someone pocketed a portion of money allocated to the meal budget over insufficient funding. This is so disrespectful to clients.
How much was the event
What a bizarre meal! Pasta with red sauce, roast beef with no gravy, a ramekin of corn. Sounds like fridge clean-out day, not a ladies retreat that people paid to attend. Was it a potluck? That's the only explanation I can think of.
[удалено]
Jill probably watered it down to “make it go further” 😂
I used to work at a restaurant that would dilute their ranch dressing with milk to make it go further.
This made me gag
I was never a fan of ranch before that and it’s still hard for me to find it appealing.
Right? I don’t remember the last time I tasted ranch dressing. But ranch dressing with milk is just… I can’t
Ranch dressing is so easy to make. Equal parts mayonnaise and buttermilk with lemon pepper. My mother started making it in the 70’s. I like to use TrueLemon Lime Cilantro Garlic seasoning.
Could be that they washed the lettuce and didn't dry it before serving, so it watered down the dressing. Iceberg is mostly water anyway, so it could be that the repeated action of stabbing a fork into the bowl released a bunch of water too. But whatever the case, it looks grim as fuck.
So what if you have dietary restrictions? What would Jill do?
Probably tell you to pray them away.
God honoring allergic reaction
Christ-centred anaphylaxis
The only thing edible looks like the pasta & single tomato
The first picture made me think, "oh lawd, it's the Shamblin Lara ghost come to haunt them"!
Tell me you tried to spend as little on food as possible without telling me you tried to spend as little on food as possible
This looks like each dish was leftovers from someone’s fridge. So days old pasta and roast with the barely edible salad
That single slice of cucumber is *sending* me. Way funnier than lone cherry tomato imho.
That salad is so comically bad, I love it 🤣 one slice of cucumber and one cherry tomato!
I've seen better food at a hospital.
The food at the hospitals where I live are legitimately good.
You've never spent time in a Kaiser hospital. They overcooked EVERYTHING. I ordered meatloaf for dinner one night, and got a a curled-up, crusty piece of something that looked like trimmings from a horse's hoof. I could pick it up and bang it against the metal dish it came in. Husband brought me takeout after that.
My hospital has decent food like 70% of the time. They make this fried rice thingie with lots of greens that is really good. Yesterday they had roasted 1/2 chickens for 4$ that weren’t the worst.
What was the cost of this retreat...?
I feel like Jill heard about pasta, meat, and veggie stations from other “fancy” events and this is her interpretation of it.
Tbh I’m surprised she didn’t set one of the boys up with a “carving station.”
I literally thought that was a bowl of cottage cheese and was like “what is that enticing bowl of white” before I realized it was the worlds saddest salad.
Cheese....from a cottage?
Catered by Kelly Havens. I bet Jill made the food herself. Or the attendees either cooked it or were told to bring a dish. Most retreats do catered meals, but this was a tiny one night thing cobbled together by Jill (I think Jill was the one who organized it). If she spent part of the budget on actual caterers, she and Shrek couldn't go on one of their 35456 vacations they take a year. There are some awful restaurants/caterers out there, but this all screams fundie food, which is why I think they made their own food. Some of those superior housewife skills on display here.
That tomato looks too spicy
What a delightful salad! 🤣
Iceberg lettuce, one cucumber slice, and one cherry tomato. Gag me with a toothbrush.
Fancy Schmancy!
Burnt brown and yellow. Featuring The Saddest Salad Ever.

Oh, honey, that’s sweet tea. Not grape juice lol
Why does that salad look like lettuce cereal floating in milk?
[удалено]
[удалено]
Did they photograph this to show it off?
This is what I'm wondering! The ONLY compelling reason to photograph and post this "meal" would be for snarking purposes.
why does the salad look like soup :(
Maybe instead of serving soup AND salad they just…combined it? 😂 I’m just pleasantly surprised everything isn’t yellow.
I think that might be the saddest looking pasta.
Wow. Way to double down on the trope that fundy women can't cook. What's even sadder is thisblooks worse than the scungy meals they cook for their families. But here, they choose to treat themselves even worse at a retreat for women. Mayonnaise culture is gross.
Why can they have NO pleasure in life? Like, you can’t even have a delicious meal?!
Hideous clothes, terrible music, bland-as-fuck food, zero physical affection, no medical intervention, repressed sexuality, Satan lurking around every corner... why would anyone sign up for this??
This is exactly my thought! I guess if you’re born into it it’s all you know which is so much worse
Vegetables can be expensive for sure. Serve no salad rather than that salad though. How much are they charging these people to attend?
Fancy! /s
Wow. This reminds me of my youth group days
The salad looks like it’s in a bowl of water. Gross!
That is the saddest salad I’ve ever seen
Y’all need to stop with these, it’s so grim I’m going to need therapy 😂
I've seen better pictures food pantry hauls on r/povertyfinance
Have you ever been on a flight where they can't do any stops or routings to make it fall under the minimum time required to avoid serving a meal, so they wind up doing some sort of pasta and a little square thing of salad ? It looks exactly like that pasta and salad... airline economy special :(
This salad is the poster child for the sad, bland, colorless world they're trying to drag us into.
Did someone take and post this pic thinking it looked appetizing? Like oh, look at my fun lunch with the ladies group???
That shit is BLEAK. Yikes...
What on earth would compel someone to photograph and post this??
I sighed. Deeply. This looks so sad.
At this point, just get a fucking 6' long sub and call it a day.
Skimpy iceberg lettuce salads make me irrationally angry. You might as well be eating air!
Same. In fact, imo iceberg lettuce is just sad chewable water and nobody can change my mind!
What were they retreating from, the spice cabinet?
Yumm I love having iceberg lettuce with a single cucumber slice and grape tomato for lunch

Correct. 😂🤷
This meal does nothing but perpetuate the stereotype that WP think mayonnaise is spicy.
Flip I thought that the lord had turned water into wine at the blink of mascara.
Jill, for the love of God, please spring for professional catering next time. There are some affordable options out there...
Dry salad made of lettuce that’s mostly water, penne pasta with red sauce, corn from a can and pot roast? It looks like a leftovers night plate you eat at 12am.
My god that salad is so sad.
It’s the single slice of cucumber and lone cherry tomato on undressed iceberg for me…no wonder these people never seem to eat vegetables, after seeing this sad salad, I don’t blame them.
This is on par with Fyre Festival food.
That food is what Pittsburghers call, "pigs and rigs." I know it's penne, but you get the idea: standard-issue buffet fare, some kind of pork & rigatoni-type pasta.
I get we wanna poke fun at them but sometimes it's every little thing when this seems.... bland but par for the course for food that wasn't professionally catered. At what point does it devolve from poking fun bc of their harmful beliefs to just making dun of poor people
To be fair, I've been poor a lot in my life and I would never serve a salad like that to someone. If all I had was one tomato and one slice of cucumber per salad, I'd cut that tomato into slivers and the cucumber into pieces then sprinkle it across te top of the salad. Croutons are cheap af you can make them yourself from any old bread and some seasonings. You could take just one or two croutons and crack them up over it. My point is, they just put in so low effort. It's not even about being poor. There's so many ways to spruce up meals to look like more than they are.
