Get ready for Queer Food!

I meant to write: the word "gay"

Here's the archived article:

Did they have their "snack purses" with them?

Paywall, but how many of the featured eaters are non-binary fatties?

And people wonder why the humanities are seen as increasingly frivolous and irrelevant.

Also, "food space?" Fuck's sake. It's called a KITCHEN!

Two top comments:

[quote]Is the queer key lime pie a different recipe than a generic key lime pie? Do we really deed to define food by sexuality? Really Maybe, we should work at finding more common areas where we can work together not find areas where we can split apart.

and

[quote]Does my long-term affair with Ben&Jerry mean I'm in a polycule?

[quote]What is queer food?

We're revisiting Potlucks and Sows at the Trough.

The absurdity of it all.

[Quote] What is queer food?

Cock and pussy eaten by those who also have a cock and pussy, respectively; or eaten by those who identify with the gender conventions where they are assumed to also posses either a cock or a pussy, respectively.

Everything else is just food food.

"Mx. Barbosa, who’s getting a master’s degree in gastronomy from Boston University, also brought along a 'sleazy wine cake,' made with Marsala and coconut, and a pecan buttercrunch — recipes from the zine that they tested and ate with a friend who was recovering from top surgery."

I don't know about you, but nothing gets my appetite going like the unnecessary surgical removal of perfectly healthy organs. Mm, mm, good!

The shut down the comments section to that article, only 19 posts…ha!

Once Around the Nonbinary Garden.

“It’s not about specific recipes or dishes,” Mr. Birdsall said. “It’s everything around those dishes, how they got to the table, who’s eating them, who’s serving them.”

So...it's literally just regular food prepared, served, and eaten by "queer" people? Does that apply to ANY other category of humans? And if that's the case, then why do these types harp on and on about the violence of cuisine "appropriation"? Technically, according to these very convenient new rules, if two white ladies open an empanada truck and other white people eat them, empanadas magically become "white food", and nothing has been appropriated, right?

Queer food is when I ejaculate on you pizza.

So dumb.

I used to do that to my buddy Kirk leftover Pizza& reheat it in the oven for him, R13

It was 1986 in NYC. I have to ask, WTF is queer food, why is it not "just food"?

Actual queer food from the “desert” thread:

My boyfriend loved to torment me by making weird cakes — I like my desserts unadventurous, just load me up on chocolate. But he makes pineapple upside down cakes and chess pie all the time and I find them tolerable but I really just want the goddamned chocolate. He also used to make this fluffy white cake that was loaded with fresh fruit and whipped cream that I loved but he stopped making it because I loved it too much. There seems to be some kind of a power struggle happening through baked goods. Namely that he has all the power since I can’t bake shit.

[quote]Get ready for Queer Food! Note that the article never uses the world "gay"....

And why don't you consider that a gift like the rest of us do, OP?

At least pay attention to what you're complaining about that actually serves gay people, honey. This. Ain't. Us.

So ridiculous it's a satire? From the Onion?

Is this a uniquely American thing? Do other countries have insane students and faculty like this?

Thanks for the link, r1.

This morning I seem to be caught in an endless loop with the Captcha and cannot access articles. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Maybe it’s a gift from above, saving my head from exploding as I learn about a new attempt to invent boutique divisions that do not exist in reality.

Their use of the Diseased Pariah News recipes seems to be flippant appropriation of gay culture. Too bad they had to shut down the comments section.

What's astonishing is that they opened comments at all r21

I kinda guess there is some opportunity for study in that food creates and supports culture and community (bitchy gay dinner parties, boozy drag brunch, Michigan Wymmyn potlucks) but those are really about context more than *queer* recipes.

Sounds more like a theme party than anything else.

"I'm bringing my famous Cockamole and Todd's making Calamary."

Food is not "queer". This is why people sneer at the "liberal arts" which used to mean a well rounded education to my generation and didn't have the negative connotation it does now.

Undoubtedly started by non-binary fat east coast college wimmin, as does everything having to do with the " queer" movement.

Isn't that what that stupid Hags restaurant is all about? Queer food made and served by trans or fat, straight, chicks with blue hair? I can't stand the use of the word "queer" all the time now. It really is meaningless now, except to people of a certain age, who remember it being a slur.

The photo in OP's post is proof that queer food is very fattening.

Eat your spinach or else it’s a hate crime!

Can a campfire weenie roast be revisioned as a Lesbian triumph over trans girldick?

That would not qualify as queer, r30.

Would I be useful as the clerk at the Cuntry store?

Large womon of Michfest is redundant, no?

Ha R23! Zing!

Queer Food = Canapés
