The liberal arts

[garbon]

Anyone who insists on calling all fizzy wine champagne can't be 100% snob.

Yeah, but it's so incongruent with the sheer volume of pretension our good friend normally affects, that one can't help but be amused 

Well I think I'm entirely consistent in that regard.

Fair enough - we can count on you being miltantly downmarket and unsophisticated on the subject of of commestibles... except, perhaps, fancy cocktails?

I think the way to make sense of Grab On's thinking Yakie, is that things that are associated with places he identifies with are good, and things from other places are not good.

California and NYC are cool, therefore Napa Valley sparkling wine rocks.  America is cooler than the rest of the world, therefore American cheese is acceptable.

I like the phrase "militantly downmarket".

That seems to suggest that I'm prejudiced in the opposite way, that if it wasn't downmarket - I wouldn't enjoy it. My point was that I'm more open-minded in that area which probably stems from all the years where I was very selective about what I'd eat.

@Yi - I think that would be a mistake. At least as far as wine/"sparkling wine" is concerned - I consume more from South America/Italy/Spain. I don't think I "identify" with any of those places more than California.

And of course, I recognize that American cheese has nothing in common with its more illustrious cousins but that doesn't mean it can't serve a purpose.

I'm a lot like garbon in respect to food - capable of enjoying both highbrow and lowbrow and capable of telling the difference. Mine's a fairly omnivorous palate.

Consumption is generally a private act.  I'm talking about public utterances.

I don't think that's true. A lot of consumption is in public.  Now if "public" here just means utterances on Languish maybe true as I don't think I generally source the originating countries of activities or consumables*.

*which dovetails nicely into my general use of the word champagne.

Therefore I shit 20 minutes later.

I get sick of burgers when I'm doing my rounds. It's different.

[Ed Anger]

Plus I steal their napkins and mild sauce packets.
