TIL. One of the many consequences of "996" - Chinese people starting to eat bland, simple white people meals.

Those viral posts about … I’m white AND autistic AND physically disabled in a way that means I struggle to cook. Today’s lunch was four dinner rolls and a bowl of peas with salt. I’m winning at this game. :D

I should add, I would struggle to buy in this suburb except in Woolworths or Aldi

Just thinking of my usual lunch: sliced cheese (supermarket brand Swiss or Tasty), fresh tomato & canned tuna/chicken on crispbreads. Alternatively, fresh avocado & sliced cheese on crispbreads. I don't add salt or pepper.

My dinner on probably 5 out of 7 nights: grilled meat (good quality scotch fillet or porterhouse steak, or a lamb/pork loin chop, never cheaper cuts such as blade steak or forequarter chops), a microwaved potato & a microwaved mix of fresh & frozen vegetables. Again, no salt/pepper/spices/sauces (apart from a dab of margarine/sour cream on the potato & apple/mint sauce on pork/lamb). I stopped adding condiments to food when I was a teenager 40+ years ago.

I just prefer the taste of simply cooked food without spices. I love plain, steamed broccoli. The same with Brussels sprouts. No need to caramelise them or roast them until they're mush or add salt or pepper or sauces.

"Under a photo of processed cheese, ham and crackers packed neatly in plastic, a Weibo user writes that to eat this for lunch is to “learn what it feels like to be dead”.

The post is part of a trend among Chinese social media users who are recreating “báirén fàn” or “white people food” to better understand – or poke fun at – western packed lunches made up of plain ingredients such as raw vegetables and sliced meats."

There's nothing not righteous & joyful about the trend on social media, primarily in China.
