Mashed potatoes with boiled or steamed veggies. Usually is considered bland cause it only has 2 spices...salt and pepper.

Depends on what you consider "white". Italian and French food is regarded as the best in the world by some while British food is ridiculed as the worst. I'd riot too if I had to eat only British food for 2 months.

When people knock white people food they are knocking Midwest food, bland food with a lot of starch and ground beef.

I grew up there and attest to this.

Like tater tot casserole is a thing here, it has beef, green beans, cheese, cream of mushroom soup (key white Person ingredient) and tater tots.

Meat just seasoned with salt & or pepper.

Mayo

Potato salads

Potato salads where the cook tries to be unique and make it their own kind of dish by adding random s*** like raisins.

Buffalo chicken dip

Every time there's a potluck at my workplace the majority of White people bring in their own version of buffalo chicken dip even though there's a sign up sheet.

Maybe it's because I'm from the south but if you served unseasoned meat/potatoes/rice in my house you'd be ex-communicated. And no, just salt & pepper don't count as seasoning.

The way I read that meme isn't that they have to eat food from their own culture, but it looks more to be a comment about how often White people eat out and don't cook at home, so they're not very good at it.

That's a generalization of course, but I do think it's more of an American thing (not so much a race thing) to eat out a lot. Anecdotally, I had a friend (who cooks a lot) asking on Facebook once why everyone was complaining about making meals during the pandemic. She was like "what did you all do for food before the pandemic?"

Surprisingly, her facebook post blew up to over 100 comments of people saying that they basically ate out 4-6 days a week because they either didn't have time or energy to cook at home after work. Really surprised me as I grew up with home cooked meals every day, with eating out only for celebrations.

There's always one family member who unironically believes their version of potato salad is the bees knees and it has the craziest things in it.

I wonder if like buying prepared food from the local deli is considered eating out.

the sterotype is just that it's bland food, there isn't really specific food associated with it because 'white people food' overlaps into other types of food, as this topic has showcased with people going no x is really y.

Not sure what you mean but a good source of Midwest cooking is church cookbooks which are recipes submitted by parishioners.

You see a lot of mayo and jello and odd ingredients on these things; the reason is cookbooks were not as ubiquitous as they are now so people got a lot of recipes from advertisements and off food labels.

The bland food thing is really more of a white American suburbanite thing rather than a blanket white people one but I get how that gets confused in mostly American communities

Actual food is one thing; there's no bad 'white people' cooked food I've had.

When I hear the term, I think of those upper class families who live on frozen food. Hot pockets and TV dinners in bulk. Miracle whip, wonderbread, frosting out of the fucking can.
