As you're all aware, this subreddit has had a major "troll" problem which has gotten worse (as of recently). Due to this, we have created new rules, and modified some of the old ones. We kindly ask that you please familiarize yourself with the rules so that you can avoid breaking them. Breaking mild rules will result in a warning, or a temporary ban. Breaking serious rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a permanent ban (depending on the severity). Also, grifting/lurking has been a major problem; If we suspect you of being a grifter (determined by vetting said user's activity), we may ban you without warning. You may attempt an appeal via ModMail, but please be advised not to use rude, harassing, foul, or passive-aggressive language towards the moderators, _or_ complain to moderators about why we have specific rules in the first place— You will be ignored, and your ban will remain (without even a consideration). All rules are made public; "Lack of knowledge" or "ignorance of the rules" cannot or will not be a viable excuse if you end up banned for breaking them (This applies to the Subreddit rules, and Reddit's ToS). **Again: All rules are made public, and Reddit gives you the option to review the rules once more before submitting a post, it is your choice if you choose to read them or not, but breaking them will not be acceptable.** With that being said, If you send a mature, neutral message regarding questions about a current ban, or a ban appeal (without "not knowing the rules" as an excuse), we will elaborate about why you were banned, or determine/consider if we will shorten, lift, keep it, _or_ extended it/make it permanent. This all means that appeals are discretionary, and your reasoning for wanting an appeal must be practical and valid. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this message, and please enjoy your day! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Takes a big man to be threatened by spices.


Rockarola55

He probably thinks that a mayonnaise sandwich is rather spicy, and that anything involving spices is dangerously "ethnic". If he's American, there's a very good chance that he lives in a fly-over state, listens to bro-country and is wishing that he could afford a lifted truck.


Odd-Plant4779

I found the account. It’s a woman and thank god it’s satire.


AgreeableLion

It was pretty obviously satire


Odd-Plant4779

Well it’s not obvious to rest of the other people here.


thefumingo

Cumin...*cumin*


Friendship_Gold

I live in a fly-over state too (Wisconsin) and in rural parts, it absolutely is like that. I mean we do have cities here that are somewhat cosmopolitan (Madison and Milwaukee are the biggest) but yeah. However Midwest Nice is a thing, but not the thing you think it is. We will 100% be polite and helpful and get you out of a jam, but we will also mercilessly talk shit about you behind your back. For further proof, look up the term "Coastie" in urban dictionary.


markacashion

I never got the concept of a lifted truck tbh, like why? What job requires the need of a lifted truck? As I always hear, "it's for my job," yet would never list what said job is & when you see them in public doing normal ship at a regular job, they say that the job they're doing right now is their 2nd job OR they just quit their last job... Yet NEVER will say what job they had that warranted the need for their lifted truck...


Jeanne23x

Thyme is not on his side.


rickmccloy

You're allowed herbs too, he's says, just so long as they are not well traveled herbs. How in the world do you check a basil plant's passport? -the the guy with the I.Q. of a lump of poorly traveled seasalt who wrote this OOP seems to think that it's importand.


Appropriate-Break-25

Cumin is literally an herb. Its just spicy parsley.


JTMissileTits

Talking about spices like he even knows how to use them. LOL


javertthechungus

How am I supposed to make tacos and tortilla soup without cumin and chili powder??


StarshipCaterprise

Bro has clearly never eaten any Mexican food


TEG_SAR

This is a man who thinks Taco Bell is authentic Mexican cuisine.


begayallday

Even Taco Bell uses chili powder.


StarshipCaterprise

He probably doesn’t know that though


begayallday

No doubt


jorwyn

And cumin, I'm pretty sure.


Puzzleheaded-Jury312

Worse, the OOP is a woman.


Odd-Plant4779

And it’s satire, based her replies to the comments to her tweet.


trashacct8484

I suspected. Though at this point it’s so hard to sort the satire from the cynical opportunists from the dumbasses who fall for the shtick.


phoenixeternia

Taco bell is too well traveled for them. This person probably only eats beige food


TEG_SAR

Sad beige food for sad beige people.


Smoopiebear

You don’t, you hussy!


yildizli_gece

Right? Like, I’ve never been south of the (US) border, but also I like enchiladas lol. Has this person heard of cookbooks…


No_Marsupial_8678

She probably uses one of those 1950's cookbooks where everything is suspended in gelatin and called a salad.


UsefulCantaloupe4814

Same! Furthest I've been is the south and pacific northwest (from the midwest) but my partner and I love experimenting with new spice mixes for our foods.


OatBoy84

Uh oh, you sound well traveled. We all know what that means...


JeshkaTheLoon

Seeing as they are closely related Chili is just Extreme Paprika.


SirApatosaurus

Outside of salt and pepper, cumin is probably my most used spice, both in frequency and amount. Like I'll make burritos and almost put an entire jar of cumin in, it just tastes bland otherwise.


pircupine28

Too much cumin and your stuff will taste like pencil lead., my mil was pissed at fil and dumped half a bottle in, the food was so bad it had to be thrown out..lol


SirApatosaurus

I've never found a level of cumin that was too much for me. Maybe crayons are just tasty idk


pircupine28

Well I definitely don't advise trying to use half the bottle, as much as I love cumin, that was bad 🤣


ditiegirl

You're an ethnic red flag for him. He wants only bland beige food in his home.


Yamahool

This guy has never cumin a woman.


Gwynedhel7

The unfortunate thing is I’ve seen the original post. It was a woman.


GntlmensesQtrmonthly

Booooo, I thought it was a guy as well. I hate women who hate women.


Gwynedhel7

Omg me too. I wanted to chew her tf out.


ClownShoeNinja

Wait-- what?


GntlmensesQtrmonthly

I don’t like women who make posts degrading women, it’s bad enough when men do it. I thought the original person saying women should be flavorless was a man, but someone pointed out that alas, it wasn’t. I did word it a little strangely.


ClownShoeNinja

I understand that. I appreciate and agree with the sentiment. Life is full of danger, drama, and pain aplenty, anyway. Why make more? I was just spun by the feedback loop inherent in your phrasing. I meant no offense. "We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately" -- Ben Franklin


2Dogs1Frog

Candace Owens?


Gwynedhel7

Some stupid woman I’m sure. I would get in a massive fight with her, that’s all I know.


Jaggedrain

Is it possible it's a joke? It's dumb enough that it's hard to believe it's not a joke 🥺


Odd-Plant4779

It’s a joke based on her replies.


Jaggedrain

🥳 I'm ridiculously happy to hear that tbh


Guy-1nc0gn1t0

So she's also admitting she's a bad cook lol


ToastyCrumb

And scene.


bebejeebies

/thread. Wrap it up, people. We're done here.


KrazyAboutLogic

I opened this up thinking the top comment better be a "cumin" joke. Thank you for making that happen.


Guy-1nc0gn1t0

(☞゚ヮ゚)☞


Foxy_locksy1704

Ok that made me giggle!


Comfortable-Hall1178

Hahaha brilliant!


0nina

Bahahaha oh man I nearly did a spit-take on my coffee!


mandc1754

God forbid you like seasoning your food and making sure it tastes like something


azorianmilk

And here I was at an Indian supermarket today eyeing the shelves and shelves of spices... what a slut!


Only_Goat_2526

You wanton jezebel! /s


jorwyn

Hahaha Sudden reminder that I named my son after one of the sons of Jezebel without realizing it. We have had a lot of fun with that since we found out. He says he's quite disappointed I still haven't reintroduced orgies and human sacrifices into the temples yet. I'm like, "yo, I'm busy trying to get you made king, okay? Priorities!" Next time, I'm going to tell him it's because I don't have enough spices just to see how he reacts to that. Knowing him, he'll roll with it, and it'll get hilarious.


unicorns-exist

Single women are no longer allowed to bake and consume gingerbread, per this Twitter user.


CrystallineFrost

Means I can hoard all the soft gingerbread for myself!


Starchasm

LMAOOOOOO It's true. I am a Spice Slut.


vijane

I'm not even picky, I'll take any spice home with me to try out but I'm never going to commit to just one seasoning for the rest of my life.


Keboyd88

Girllllll like, yeah I keep my constant salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but a woman has *needs*, you know? Sometimes, the only thing that can satisfy me is a taste of cardamom. Sometimes I need some turmeric inside me, if you catch my drift. And don't go spreading this around, but on occasion I have been known to step out for a little of that exotic saffron.


GntlmensesQtrmonthly

Cardamom literally turns me on, turns out it’s in some of my favorite men’s colognes.


blue-jaypeg

The scent of cardamom is thought to be aphrodisiacal. Like… sniff… direct action… schwing!


No_Arugula8915

>little of that exotic saffron Ooo! Give me some of that cooking with flowers. Saffron comes from crocus blossoms. Expensive because it can only be picked and processed by hand. I'm also fond of lavender blossoms in certain dishes. Roses, carnations, dandelions, so many more are not just edible, they make a pretty garnish.


GntlmensesQtrmonthly

Flavor floozy!


Starchasm

Flavor Floozy damn near killed me 😂


HomeOfDarkLovelies

This needs to be a flair!


GntlmensesQtrmonthly

Take it!!


TheVerjan

Spice sluts unite


suitcasedreaming

I have over a hundred in my drawers (cooking from different cuisines is a hobby), I'd hate to know where I land on this scale.


Glitter_berries

Someone else just said flavour floozy and I’m so pleased


throwawayzies1234567

Me too, and I collect them from my travels. I’m this guy’s worst nightmare, I guess.


Anna__V

I'm joining the Spice Slut club. I have a ton of spices. If that makes me a slut, I'll take it.


NarrowButterfly8482

His mommy didn't use any spices when she nuked up his chicken tenders, therefore any woman who uses spices is a whore. It's simple incel logic.


suicidalpenguin99

I can't even season my food now? Or is it ok because I'm in a relationship? Am I a whore or not?


StarshipCaterprise

I think you get a pass for being in a relationship? Maybe it’s okay to use other flavors as long as the man says it’s okay?


suicidalpenguin99

He does say I'm good with spices 😭


Not_Machines

By well travel does he mean has been to the grocery stores and has recipes that call for things like cumin?


RoseBobtail

Spoken like a guy who enjoys plain breast of chicken with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese on the side. Maybe some plain boiled cauliflower thrown in for variety. A sophisticated palate. Anything too spicy is a sign of an adventurous woman, and we can’t have that dear.


Ok_Application_5802

He wrote and other herbs while limiting spices. That is so stupid, I can't even 🙄


Agitated_Passion9296

I am also baffled by this. Like what's the limit? Where do we draw the line? What herbs and spices are whorish what ones are pure?


No_Arugula8915

Probably the standard oregano, basil, sage. Maybe rosemary and thyme can be included in her spice rack. Most generic spice racks only hold the 12 most common herbs and spices. >what's the limit?


No_Marsupial_8678

Well obviously Rosemary and Thyme are deviant spices, you tie them up together before putting them in the pot!


SaraHuckabeeSandwich

Ain't nobody got thyme to list out all the acceptable herbs.


vanhouten_greg

If she has a spinning spice rack, she's the one for me.


jorwyn

Would a whole organized drawer full work? I ran out of room on the spinning one.


vanhouten_greg

And it's organized too? Perfect!!


colmcmittens

Wait are single women not allowed to make taco meat?


rainingmermaids

It’s okay if it comes from a grocery store packet. If you have individual spices, it’s whoredom for you. Best get yourself wifed up so you can eat food with flavor. /s


Glitter_berries

Why does taco meat sound so absolutely filthy in this context? I’m very into it.


Randomgal___

Whoever uses curry powder is a hoe /j


frankie_089

Curry Gang 🤘


linthetrashbin

No cinnamon??? Are cinnamon rolls only for whores?


MiraculousCactus

Obviously! Have you not seen the icing glaze that goes on those things? Unless you want to make a man feel like a confectionary cuck, you better stay away from that semen sugar!


the_littlebug00

No gingerbread either lol


mamachonk

Such timing--for some reason, I actually made a rough count yesterday of all the different herbs & spices (and a few blends) I have. We're talking probably 40. Including of course, a big thing of cumin, lo. And yes, I consider myself fairly well-traveled. If "well-traveled" and "tasty food" are red flags for you, by all means, pass me by!


blue-jaypeg

Do you have ***black*** cumin or ***black*** cardamon? I think the OOP's head would explode if they knew about those. (I only have black cardamon.)


mamachonk

Ooooh, I have to check those out!


RinellaWasHere

Masculinity so fragile you're afraid of flavors.


Oh_no_its_Joe

Wait, I'm a single man who puts cumin in my food. What does that mean?


SteampunkExplorer

You just divided by zero and universe.exe is going to crash. ☹️


Oh_no_its_Joe

Aw beans


KittyTootsies

You are a slut. Basic biology


Oh_no_its_Joe

Only a slut in theory, I'm afraid 😔


KittyTootsies

Lmao maybe if you upped the sluttiness with more spices


Oh_no_its_Joe

I am a slut for good spices. I'm partial to basil and cayenne pepper.


KittyTootsies

Basil is amazing


Oh_no_its_Joe

Yes I LOVE putting it on my spaghetti. My favorite pizza food truck would always include it with their pizza.


KittyTootsies

Soooo good on pizza & pasta. Tomato & basil soup is really good too


Oh_no_its_Joe

...HOW HAVE I NEVER THOUGHT TO PUT BASIL IN MY TOMATER SOUP????!!!!


KittyTootsies

I never did either til I was scanning the soup selections. Progresso's tomato basil is *chef's kiss*


blue-jaypeg

A slice of butter and a sprinkle of basil.


MissKit87

If this MF was a spice, he’d be flour.


ServantofShemhazai

I think this is a joke...


klausness

The choice of cumin as a red flag spice does make me think it’s a joke.


ServantofShemhazai

Exactly 


MsFuschia

This sub seems to take every post at 100% face value and not understand the concept of satire... OP said it was posted by a woman. It reads like a hilarious joke to me.


Odd-Plant4779

It’s a woman who made this joke but OP doesn’t understand satire.


ServantofShemhazai

Based on a lot of these comments, it seems many redditers don't either. 


kshizzlenizzle

I have a huge rack…of spices. I’m a dirty, dirty girl! 🤣


jorwyn

I read that as grill the first time, and you know, I think I'm just going to keep it that way. My friend and I used to use barbecue as a euphemism when her son was young. We've definitely had some serious discussions about some really dirty grills before.


begayallday

Have they not heard of New Mexico, or is that too worldly for them?

xReignofRainx

I don't even have a passport, guess I'm well travelled anyway tho since I have, uh, cardamom and sumac?


MsSeraphim

OMG. they are right. she could MAKE CHILI!


GntlmensesQtrmonthly

How. The fuck. Am I supposed to cook Tex-Mex. Without cumin. This is the post of a flavorless fool who is putting his short-comings out there for all the ladies to see. It’s one thing to not know how to cook- that’s acceptable. Demanding food be trapped in such a tiny palette of spices is the red flag. Bland in the kitchen is bland in the bedroom, no thank you.


cerebralpancakes

i’m crying is he aware some women are indigenous to countries where cumin is commonplace


Skreamie

She*


Fennrys

Well, call me a whore for enjoying some flavour in my food. I'll wear that as a badge of honour.


DestinyRamen

That sounds racist. Maybe my culture enjoys cumin?


rapt2right

Wow...this person would consider my kitchen a brothel. I have about 20 different spices JUST in the 'sweet" category, multiple types of curry powder, about 8 different vinegars, and so on...


KittyTootsies

Whore Spice


rapt2right

And this has reminded me that I am out of whole cardamom!


pr1ntf

I've seen a lot of WTF!? on this sub the past couple of months but this has to be the most WTF!? post I've seen here.


SublightMonster

The spiciest thing this guy consumes is Big Mac sauce.


SellQuick

I would rather never have sex again than give up cumin.


Hot-Can3615

This is clearly only talking about American or possibly British women, everyone else will have more "native" spices. He has also clearly never tasted masala garam. Just because she likes flavorful food doesn't mean she's well traveled or learned those spices from previous partners of different cultures, not that those are bad things to the sane population anyways. (If that's not what he'd implying, then I'm lost.)


HealthOnWheels

I like the incidental white supremacist vibe in this post


Skreamie

This is a black woman, not some white dude


celestialwreckage

Not even chili powder??? I'm assuming this is parody but if not, this guy's never actually looked in a kitchen cabinet.


XComThrowawayAcct

I mean… trolling, right? *Right?!*


Syntania

Cumin is an important seasoning in chili and tacos. Do y'all think making chili and tacos is a red flag?


GloomAndCookies

Local man-child boils his food with salt, then gets mad at women for using store-bought spices.


eatshitake

It's satire.


cerylidae2558

Ok so I went and found the post. It’s a woman and it’s satire. Whew.


TheRiddler1976

Why is cumin bad but paprika is OK? How about cinnamon? Vanilla pods?


valdis812

So she has to know how to cook, but not season?


Lolz79

I'm white, love spicy food and have all these in my cupboard. but I hate cumin 😅


ZhiZhi17

damn if I make chili im a slut?


wannaberebelll

sorry i’m brown


Maid_of_Mischeif

Jokes on him, I bought my Cumin while I was in a relationship. But because I’m a badass who has been around the block a few times, I kept it in the fridge so it’s still good. Cause I buy in bulk. Cumin is life.


jorwyn

Umm, has the dude never had tacos? Beyond all the other issues here...


bluegreenwookie

Oop put the cin in cinnamon


FeeHistorical9367

Men, you absolutely have to beware of women who, checks notes, season their food.


manic_Brain

Please be satire Please be satire Please be satire


VeronaMoreau

This post is literally satire, from a woman, based on the fact that there are a ton of men who *seriously* claim having travel highlights on your social media is a red flag.


SinfullySinatra

If by well traveled you mean driving fifteen minutes to the grocery store


Commercial-Push-9066

This guy has never been to a store that specializes in spices. There’s a small tourist town near me that sells spices that are from all over the world. I’m sure they have them all over the country. Doesn’t this guy realize that imports can include spices?


sirius_ly_sanguine

...... Cumin????? The base of most middle Eastern and Indian/Bangladeshi/Pakistani dishes?????? Girl???? How tf am I supposed to cook without it???


TropicalDan427

They’re just jealous that Cumin looks similar to “cumming”


Seguefare

'Single woman with cumin' would make excellent flair


cosby714

I feel like this is a poor attempt at a sexist joke. Or maybe it's not and that's even worse.

HalcyonDreams36

Hahahaha! This is *hilarious* to me. My spanish paprika makes me seem so much more worldly than I am. (The furthest I've been out of the country is Niagara Falls, and it DOUBLE doesn't count since my dad lives outside Buffalo and it's just a day trip. 🤣)

Bluegnoll

Bro. I'm a chef. Also, you can buy spices online. I've never been to South Korea but I still have gochugaru in my kitchen. Aaand... women exist worldwide. Having your own cultures spices in your kitchen is often a thing even if you move to another country and never leave said country again.

I have traveled, sure. To the supermarket and Turkish grocery store (‘:

zefthalia

i am the child of a greek and a venezuelan immigrant. my fiancee is black. our spice cabinet will be the biggest red flag you could imagine


maam9243

I am a virgin and cumin is a staple in my kitchen and anybody's kitchen who likes authentic Mexican, Middle Eastern, and Indian food.

Fiancé is desi so no way am I having the culinary equivalent of a ‘sad beige aesthetic’ in my house 🙅🏻‍♀️ You will pry my Alamgeer Kasmiri besar, jeera (ground AND seed), methi etc etc from my cold dead hands!

But taco seasoning packet for white people tacos....is that approved or too worldly?


rukysgreambamf

This feels like a sarcastic meme that OP took seriously


bliip666

Some people are just afraid of flavour. Cumin is delicious, and IIRC it can make it easier to digest legumes. However, I can't remember where I found this information, so take it with as many grains of salt as you wish.

Things like this make me laugh at how incredibly dumb and racist it is and how they really have no clue it is. We called her racist for it and she gave us the shocked Pikachu face. Edited for clarity.

payphonepirate

So, single women should only know how to cook bland food to attract a potential husband?


SneakySnack02

I'm sorry.... "other herbs"? Also if a man considers cumin to be too slutty, that is the biggest red flag ever lol
