I have no problem with your general opinion that too many people have palate’s that are too simple to enjoy a wide range of flavors. I should post your web site and opinion on the various food allergy web sites and let those grieving people descend on your rotting carcass of stupidity, but I don’t feel the need to publicize your idiocy any more than you already have on your own. Hundreds of people have lost loved ones, mostly children, to food allergies. However, in the case of your unfortunate post above, you have flown a little too close to the sun of logic and fact and your usual mixture of bluster and bravado hold no currency when you are just plain wrong. You can, and often do, spew your opinion with certainty, because your opinion is your own and as such, it can’t be refuted. While your fans probably regard your general churlishness as a necessary evil of your position as a food critic, you have obviously forgotten the truism that while “everyone is entitled to their own opinion, they are not entitled to their own facts.” The sweet taste of whip cream has always overcome their aversions and helped cultivate a taste of the finer things in life. Knowing this I have always found it prudent to have a can of Reddi Whip handy when I found a partner unwilling or unable to preform as desired. The same is true for a women to become fully developed to a variety of tastes and get beyond their juvenile Ymmmy Phase. Carrola explaining the need for trying various tastes is important in a males development as a lover of all things culinary including a women’s crotch. As such they fail to understand or explore the wonderful world of food tastes and textures. These individuals have never left their juvenile taste buds behind their adolescent years. You have preformed a mitzvah and a public service announcement explaining why there are those whose palette fail to appreciate good food from a variety of cultures and cooking styles. I must say that this post is the most insightful one you have shared with the “eating” public. * Bourbon, bleu cheese, oysters, oral sex, cigars, country ham, etc.ĮLV. And go try some Roquefort cheese (or a woman’s crotch) sometime. Or those living in the deepest, darkest recesses of Appalachia. You know who doesn’t have food allergies? Africans. Food allergies are just a pseudo-scientific way to justify whatever Yummy Phase (or cockamamie diet) you’re trying to rationalize. Because “I have a glandular condition” sounds more scientific than “I only eat french fries with ketchup on them.”įor the record, Eating Las Vegas - the man and the Web site - doesn’t believe in food allergies. Women are certainly not exempt from the Yummy Phase, and can be even bigger pains in the ass than men (“I’m sorry, my wife doesn’t eat bacon unless it’s very crisp.”), but when the ladies revert to spoiled children at dinner, they usually use (invented, Oprah-endorsed, non-existent) food allergies as the excuse. When this happens ladies and gentlemen, you have run smack dab into the “Yummy Phase,” and the socially stunted palate pygmies who are consumed by their childish food fears and infantile eating obsessions.Īdam Carrolla - a comedian possessing a keen eye for social absurdities and truckloads of common sense - rightly explains this retarded reversion (to insisting upon foods that appealed to you when you were ten years old) to a sense of entitlement on par with sitting in a high chair and wailing about wanting more ice cream.ĮLV also considers America’s obsession with the simplistic and over-sweet to be the (partial) explanation for the popularity of the almost candified tomato sauces that grace(?) the pathetic pies sold (by the billions) by Domino’s, Pizza Hut, et al. Everyone’s salivating over the menu or parsing the finer points of your ouefs Escoffier fourée a la Parmigiana when someone (usually a guy) says something like “I don’t eat seafood,” or starts sniffing some unfamiliar dish as if it was designed to kill him.
