I don’t think they call it food. They call it prison slop.
The DC FBI building is Brutalist.
Figures.
Hideous.
Because you are not thought of as creation of God, deserving the most dignity. You are a dog and only deserving nutrients in pellet form.
Something humans have managed to do for at least six thousand years but once you start praying to the great god Marx you totally lose that ability.
“Brutalist” “Hideous”
Compare modern school buildings with those built about a century ago.
Exactly. Collectivism itself is a failed ideology that has never worked no matter where or how much or how long it has been tried.
Well said.
I was fortunate enough to have a Russian grandmother and great aunt here in the United States. First she taught me that Communists are evil. Second, she made amazing Russian food. So Russian food is delicious when made by a czarist Russian.
Very nice...
Communist food, like matzah and Manischewitz?
Because the government is incapable of producing anything good once it gets its paws on it.
It can ruin anything.
Imagine going to the American supermarket, but finding there only couple of dozens of the basic generic foods (flower, milk, tea, vinegar, some fruit and veggies, and, if you were lucky, some eggs and basic meat, fat and from very old animals). No brand food whatsoever, and the food would be quite worse than anything available in the US.
Especially in Soviet Union, the food was usually full of worms and/or half rotten. Most food available in Soviet Union (when it was available) would not pass US sanitary inspection!
Luckily, almost all food poisons and bacteria get killed if you cook the thing for long time.
And, you develop immunity, if you are exposed to it for a while!
The commisars got the good stuff. My Polish girlfriend grew up under communism and was there when it fell. She took me to a nostalgia communist restaurant keeping the tradition alive. Everything was bland and boring. Canned this or that, nothing fresh and it all had to come from the ration bureau. The only thing in abundance was vodka and lousy beer.
She told me how her family was lucky because her grandmother worried at the food bureau and was in charge of ration cards. Sometimes they would get some citru or even a banana smuggled in from Cuba or Vietnam. A pack of airline peanuts were especially exotic. The whole family would get together to all share a single banana and divy up a small bag of peanuts.
Now, she still can’t believe how much is available on every corner in Warsaw.
Coming here soon thanks to the democrats.

Boris Yeltsin visits a Randall’s supermarket in Clear Lake TX and it breaks his heart.
Food under Communism? What is that?
McDonald’s.
