You got your racism in my coffee! You got your coffee in my racism!
[info]evilgrins delivered a list of bogus food terms to the [info]food_porn community which was kind of amusing but the last definition...

arab coffee: Thick, black, bitter coffee, traditionally served in tiny cups at gunpoint.

...really inspired some, uh, debate.

[info]likeawoman is accused of being likeatroll for staying determinedly offended by everyone but [info]obfuscate brings up Godwins first. "If you replace "arab coffee" with "matzo" is it an insult to Jews? "Haggis" (I hear it's good, but what the hell.. who came up with that?), and it's a comment on how violent those damn Scots are? Put "borscht" in there and you're pissing on the Slavs? "Liverwurst" would then, I suppose, mean that all Germans are violent Nazis."

Nobody likes a laugh more than me. Except for my wife. And Mrs. Johnson.

Define 'Offensive.'

Am I the only one that likes Turkish Coffee?

Why the random-ass definitions anyway?

As a White Canadian Female, let me clarify things for ya'll.



See, this is why I drink tea.

I like Turkish coffee, too, but I'm not going in there to point that out! I suspect there be teal deer lurking about.

I like the implication that NO ONE ANYWHERE has ever enjoyed Turkish Coffee. One would think that if this was the case people would stop making it.

Honestly, I was pretty shocked at the fact that in 100+ comments nearly everyone was about how you had to be forced to drink the stuff at gunpoint. Because, seriously, it's delicious. So I phrased myself badly.

Oh well, I guess from now on, I'll stick to discussing racism on food_porn just to be on the safe side.
