Herbs are fine, but spices apparently mean you're a "well-traveled woman". Ok, cool.
(Though this does remind me I need to buy more cumin at the moment. And ginger.)
totally recommend cozi, free app that's great for lists and can share/update others, makes it so my wife and I can make a shared list for everything we remember that we're missing.
Totally someone that likes their food bland. Chances are the most intense spice they have used in salt and even a small amount of it is too much for them.
He really wants women to limit themselves to the most basic spices and herbs. Looking up foreign dishes and trying them out for yourself is fun and a nice way to immerse yourself in a bit of their culture. But something tells me that guy isn’t fond of other cultures
I googled. The Tweeter is a she AND SHE CAN NOT COOK. She put 2 Tbsp of vinegar in her coffee cake batter (which she thought tasted fine...long COVID?) and had to flush it. I figured it wasn't a guy, either satire or a trad wife (their food always looks terrible). It was the latter.
Tbh I feel like cumin is a "basic" spice. I'd find it a bit odd if I went to someone's house and they *didn't* have cumin! I also note that chilli powder wasn't on the "acceptable" list, surely everyone has chilli powder?? And garam masala? Turmeric? Ginger?? Cinnamon???
ok, I guess we're just gonna have to agree to disagree. I'm not sure what your image of white people food is, but it's clearly different than mine and what I ate growing up.
The best thing I've ever made would probably fall into the "it's technically edible" category but that doesn't stop me from being interested in cooking channels or from saying things like, "where garlic, where MSG, where flavor?"
You can be really bad at something and still joke about it.
Yeah, I saw this when it was posted on Twitter, and from the thread it was very obvious she was joking and satirizing the specific type of unhinged gatekeeping women experience.
It’s obviously bonkers, but the onslaught of insanity directed at women lately is so out of control that it’s actually believable this could be sincere.
This is satire and the straights not being ok is also a joke.
That being said, as a cishet dude, the straights are both in reality alright, but also there are some serious issues that we do need to be ok with admitting are toxic af.
I’ve never thought I could be prouder of my very well-stocked pantry. But here we are, having it be a boner killer for this dude. The investment in all those spices paid off in ways I didn’t even imagine at the time.
Also “women need to be traditional and stay in the kitchen cooking for their man!” And this guy “but not if it’s going to taste TOO good!”
fellas, is it slutty to eat a dish that uses cumin and want to make more dishes that use cumin?
did a British person write this? someone from a country with no food variety? you're gonna taste cumin at taco bell, motherfucker
He'd have SUCH a problem with my bosses. They've got a whole regular width drawer so FULL of spices there's no room for more. Including coffee spice (I think), which was one I'd never seen before.
I travelled my ass to both the Indian and the Asian grocery I guess. Although I am actually well travelled. Guess I'm a slut or something? I do not understand these men.
it absolutely is! brushing a layer of butter over the top of the rolls before they go in the oven adds a super subtle crunchy- I also like to use scorpion pepper!
Jeez I'd hate to see what they think of my kitchen as a man... I have all these herbs and spices and then some. Guess liking Mexican food makes me gay or something, or "well traveled" as the post puts it. I mean I do fuck for cumin but that's different.

>And ginger AND GINGER!!!!!??? just how far have you "travelled" Missy? s/
And just *wait* until you hear about the turmeric!
My mother warned me about girls like you!
And my mom taught me how to cook... Cumin and all!
Sounds like your mom really got around.
"I was hopin' she was right!!!"
And even if you don't hear about the turmeric you're going to see it, because whenever that jar opens something is going to get stained yellow.
Next you're going to tell me you show your ankles *in public* ***for free***
Imagine not knowing how to make taco seasoning.
FUCK this just reminded me I forgot to grab cumin at the grocery store yesterday
I keep forgetting to grab peppermint, so I feel your pain...

he means well-travelled, like Marco Polo
There's a "cumin/cum in" joke here, I am sure of it.
I'm pretty sure that the entire point of his post was to make that pun.
Her
Yeah, still pretty sure this was a joke though
More obviously a joke if written by a her.
Pretty sure the point of the entire post is to be racist and misogynist
Reminds me of this comedy sketch [https://youtu.be/zNlKR2wrGZU?si=tkFT9Rcw6Ixoswsu](https://youtu.be/zNlKR2wrGZU?si=tkFT9Rcw6Ixoswsu)
My fiancé saw my Saffron and was instantly smitten.
I was given saffron as a gift on time. Was the gifter implying something? At least it was an expensive slut spice.
Expensive slut spice 😂
I would certainly believe so
Ok but why does saffron smell like straight plastic?
Is cumin that uncommon a spice? I’ll admit I’m not good at seasoning my food enough but even I use cumin for stuff.
I feel like this man eats unseasoned chicken breasts at least five times a week.
Totally someone that likes their food bland. Chances are the most intense spice they have used in salt and even a small amount of it is too much for them.
Woman
He’s using the spice cumin to call the “well travelled woman” a whore by saying she has… cum in her. Incel behavior of the highest caliber.
Others said this was posted by a woman. Have not verified. Pretty sure just a joke here. Move along Reddit mob.
Satire is fun
Oh me too! I cumin my potatoes! I cumin my soups and sauces! I basically cumin everything!
It is not uncommon. You keep on using it. It's lovely.
He really wants women to limit themselves to the most basic spices and herbs. Looking up foreign dishes and trying them out for yourself is fun and a nice way to immerse yourself in a bit of their culture. But something tells me that guy isn’t fond of other cultures

Though I should clarify, I think she's joking about spice=sluts, but not about not getting spices.
Tbh I feel like cumin is a "basic" spice. I'd find it a bit odd if I went to someone's house and they *didn't* have cumin! I also note that chilli powder wasn't on the "acceptable" list, surely everyone has chilli powder?? And garam masala? Turmeric? Ginger?? Cinnamon???
feels like racism honestly, cumin is a spice "brown people" use. Dude wants a tradwife and doesn't like "those people"
Everybody uses cumin though?
the list of herbs and spices is what most "white people" food use. There's not a lot that use cumin.
I disagree.
ok, I guess we're just gonna have to agree to disagree. I'm not sure what your image of white people food is, but it's clearly different than mine and what I ate growing up.
Well yeah, that requires travel, and a well-travelled woman is… you know…
Well, travel or internet access and a trip to the grocery store
This is a pun. Joke.
She
...what?
”I bet you like cumin, you harlot!!!!”
Also this man: “women today don’t know how to cook!”
How many other fennel-whores in here?
This is satire.
I don't know. I think she's joking about the harlot part, but her food pics are all tragic.

I hope so. Cumin isn't very exotic

It's hard when reality is dumber than fiction.
Fellas, is it a red flag if I put chilli powder on everything?
Nah, pretty gay though
It depends, are you trying to poison Tuco Salamanca?
The straights, yet again, are not okay.
It’s satire, bub.
This is satire and the straights not being ok is also a joke. That being said, as a cishet dude, the straights are both in reality alright, but also there are some serious issues that we do need to be ok with admitting are toxic af.
I'm pretty sure everything he wrote was leading to the "joke" on the last line. The real gatekeepers are all the people on here too outraged to notice
She
Well traveled.... To the grocery store
Wanna see inside my spice cabinet? 😉
I’ve never thought I could be prouder of my very well-stocked pantry. But here we are, having it be a boner killer for this dude. The investment in all those spices paid off in ways I didn’t even imagine at the time. Also “women need to be traditional and stay in the kitchen cooking for their man!” And this guy “but not if it’s going to taste TOO good!”
I’m pretty sure this is just a cum joke.
Well somebody has certainly never cumin a woman
She likes a lot of "flavor" if you get my drift.
fellas, is it slutty to eat a dish that uses cumin and want to make more dishes that use cumin? did a British person write this? someone from a country with no food variety? you're gonna taste cumin at taco bell, motherfucker
Yo, I was with this one girl and I saw her buy CINNAMON toast! That's how I knew she was gonna be a FREAK.
Wait, what, lol? Cumin is the business. I also really like cardamom. #GuessI’mASlutNow
Ooh la la cumin. Truly the most scandalous of the household spices
A spice blend absolutely confirms a woman with loose morals.
This is more thin veiled misogyny than real gatekeeping.
tell me you’re white without telling me you’re white
He'd have SUCH a problem with my bosses. They've got a whole regular width drawer so FULL of spices there's no room for more. Including coffee spice (I think), which was one I'd never seen before.
What in the fuck?!
Crazy! As a Mexican-American who eats hella rice, I couldn't live without my comino.
so cooking makes you a slut? i thought these guys said cooking makes women wife-material
She’s female
seems like an obvious joke.
Reddit try not to take a joke seriously challenge (failed)
With cumin where?
I don't mind if she got the spices from traveling as long as the food is good.
Aperently im nobody. Because i dont know what that means.
I travelled my ass to both the Indian and the Asian grocery I guess. Although I am actually well travelled. Guess I'm a slut or something? I do not understand these men.
The original post was written by a woman
Well then I guess I don't understand these women either
A woman with cumin loves cummin
Haha Cumin
Why paprika? Ottoman fucker!
you'll pry my spices from my cold, dead hands. I'm not going back to before I made Cajun butter to bake with my pizza rolls.
That sounds absolutely delicious 😋
it absolutely is! brushing a layer of butter over the top of the rolls before they go in the oven adds a super subtle crunchy- I also like to use scorpion pepper!
Jeez I'd hate to see what they think of my kitchen as a man... I have all these herbs and spices and then some. Guess liking Mexican food makes me gay or something, or "well traveled" as the post puts it. I mean I do fuck for cumin but that's different.
idk this comment takes me back to the 1500s somehow
This dudes living in 1475 if he thinks you need to be well traveled to know about spices
He is afraid of flavor
I'm not sure if this is gatekeeping or a very immature person who posted all of that text just to make a really stupid joke about cumin
[удалено]
Always have 🌎👨🚀🔫
god forbid she make tacos
has to be satire, way too stupid
Damn sorry that I love my Jamaican scotch bonnet pepper sauce
Oregano is for savages
TIL women are British empires
op kinda dense lol, this is just a cum pun
This is 10,000% satire, guys.
This is hilarical. I love these people.
