They don't do their man shopping there, I meant it in the sense that IF they go to a high-end store it's Whole Foods as opposed to Wegmans which is why I didn't know Wegmans was high-end. My mom will usually go to Costco/Sam's Club and Shop Rite which is a Northeast region chain for normal shopping.killacross wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2023 7:52 am Cooking is mostly imitation...then trial and error. You see something that looks good. You find the ingredients. You start to combine them. Over time, you learn which combinations work and which give you explosive diarrhea. I don't think they are lazy per se....I think they have no "staying power".
Why try to do this - incorrectly - for 3 months....when this person does it perfectly every time? Plus nothing to clean or equipment to buy? Besides, society has very much shifted (in our lifetime no less) to one that promotes convenience, speed, and taste. I mentioned before that it blows my mind to see my neighbors order Doordash 3-4x a week. We have 4 grocery stores within 10 minutes of us. That jumps to 7 if you add in the Hispanic grocery stores (15 minutes). Actually, just found out my neighbor is a manager at a grocery store - so that confuses me even more. Then again, he probably couldn't afford the groceries at the store he works at.
Also...nigga?! Whole Foods is another high end grocery store. We never did question why you were in Japan allll those years ago. Is your dad like a retired Military General and your mom a former Supreme Court Justice?
Having said that, my parents are quite bougie.
