LONDON, July 7 (UPI) -- Toddlers who say "yuck" when given flavorful foreign food may be exhibiting racist behavior, a British government-sponsored organization says.

The London-based National Children's Bureau released a 366-page guide counseling adults on recognizing racist behavior in young children, The Telegraph reported Monday.

This can't be real. It must be a parody. Even the cut off from reality left can't be this stupid.

...the guide, titled Young Children and Racial Justice, warns adults that babies must also be included in the effort to eliminate racism because they have the ability to "recognize different people in their lives."

How contemptible. Politicizing infancy.

So, what does that make a Muslim or Jewish kid who says, "Yuck!" to pork?

Anyone for a second helping of Durian fruit?

It smells somewhat like a decomposing zebra.

One of my waiters was a college student from New York. Every time we made Philadelphia Pepper Pot Soup he ate 2 or 3 bowls. One day he was raving about how good it was and I asked him if he knew that it was made with tripe.

"What's that? Tastes like chicken," he said.

"Cow's stomach," I replied. He immediately started puking. Fortunately, it was in the kitchen and I was quick enough to get out of the way.

I see nothing wrong with saying yuck or ick. Sassy & I said it the whole time we were cleaning the snapper turtle. She didn’t want to even taste it & I said fine. By then I wasn’t too sure I wanted it either lol. I tried to get all my children to try different foods & if they didn’t like them that was fine by me. I think the people who make this bs up are full of yuck anyhow. Pandy

I know this stuff is ridiculous but it makes me want to grab a liberal and just beat the stuffing out of them because they are being such an annoyance. This kind of thing should be a warning. It sounds stupid but this is a prime example of why there should be a hunting season for bureaucrats to keep their numbers low and manageable.

V for Vendetta was good outside of the lesbo hero worship crud. I’d just like to see a movie from Hollywood without such an empty headed moronic idea mixed in with the very valid idea of overthrowing an oppressive government. When will homos and their supporters realize the rest of the fn world doesn’t give a fk about them provided they leave us and our childrn the fk alone.

Yipes.

During the worst of the Depression, my mum in Canada had tripe as her only protein source. One night, she prepared tripe for us. In memory's eye, I can still see her sitting at the table, alone, savoring that tripe. Dad and bros and I were a respectful distance away, having tasted the tripe, and in full respect of her.

Conversely, my dad in SF during depression years had a rhubarb diet. To this day, he can't even bear looking at rhubarb.

Okay... here goes. True confession time. I actually puke on asparagus. It's my only gag reflex that I know of. Why asparagus? Haven't a clue.

I only began to like chocolate about 5 years ago. Never would eat it before. Why? Well, I think it's because I puked horrid chocolate after overconsuming some Ghiradelli Chocolate my construction worker/bridge builder Uncle had brought to us. A huge, 16x16 box of large chunks. Hurling chocolate through every orifice was enough to keep me chocolate-free for decades.

I haven't figured out the asparagus thing, tho.

Where were you that tripe was such a mainstay?

Usually, something you got sick on will turn you off on that food forever. I came down with the flu after eating green bell peppers. I still hate the slimy things 40 years later.

I'd never had collards before arriving in NC. Collards is what we fed the daughter's guinea pig. Anyway, it's taken me some time to find the right way of cooking it. I like collards. And biscuits? ICK! Now, such nifty wonderful things to eat. But I can remember arriving in the US, and my dad an old San Francisco native boy, sitting us down to a meal of antipasto, minnestrone soup, and sourdough bread. It was the sourdough bread my palate had difficulty coping with. Now, my dad sends me the very best out of SF for Christmas! :)

HOWEVER! I have learned, first hand and quite assertively, that people do have specific palate templates. It's in the genes. Sure, it can also be cultural; and mostly is. But to this day, no matter how its prepared, asparagus still makes me ill.

Most people I've known consider asparagus a nector-of-the-gods type of foodstuff.

blech!

lol-lol-ing! Oh, lordy, can I relate.

Slimy things, eh? Yep, I came down with the flu after ingesting all that chocolate, too. Leaves a mark of a memory, don't it?

Maybe it also happened to me with the asparagus, Maybe I was retching so bad whole spears came out my nose and ears in addition to everywhere else.

It would figure.

Pepper Pot is an old Philly tradition. I think it comes down from the Pennsylvania Dutch, who would not waste anything. It was a standard item on the menu in a 300 year old restaurant - where Hessian prisoners were chained in the cellar during the Revolution. Some believe they're still there.

The key with tripe is cooking it slowly for at least a day. Match it with a good chicken stock, spices, and spätzle noodles and it tastes pretty good.

The smell of watermelon makes me nauseous. I guess I'm a case study for this racist guide. I'll be checking into the reeducation camp soon.

Thank you for that explanation, kitchen! But after reading up on "pepper pot" at Wiki, I think your dislike of the smell of watermelon is balanced by this:

In the early 19th century, artist John Lewis Krimmel depicted the pepper pot street vendor in Philadelphia with his painting, Pepper-Pot: A Scene in the Philadelphia Market. Krimmel's work was first exhibited in 1811 at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The painting shows a barefoot black woman serving soup from a pot to white customers.[3]

Hmm, maybe they'd be well advised to do food score mean averaging in England, eh? :>

Well, what I can tell you is this: In California when the "orientation" fascists began homosexual "tolerance" education in K-6, a new taunt was borne on the playground: "You're so gay!". It became the new grounds for a fight. Then the orientation fascists had to do a speech code thing: Penalties if one used the word "gay" as a perjorative. The kiddies got ever more creative. So then the orientation fascists got so upset that things were running out of their control, they revamped the entire pub ed curriculum, so that nothing of substance was taught. Result? More families pulling out of pub ed; while Politicians were freaking out that more families were moving out and away from their districts, thereby cutting the current and future tax revenue base.

So the politicians and unions came up with a newer, more inventive way to create a baseline of jobs/economy - Sanctuary cities and the like to replace those leaving "the base". Crime has been rising to the point where even the politicians and union folks are leaving the base: Police, firefighters, teachers. And more and more of those who remain and are of sound mind, are demanding 2nd amendment rights for themselves.

Even the liberals are demanding the right to own guns to defend their loved ones and property.

And the amount of name-calling, casual thoughtless comments GROWS in California. Desperation has many masters.
