We need to stop pretending that green bell peppers are palatable and devote that land to a real vegetable such as artichokes or asparagus (starting with the a’s).
I get fake Thai food from the food court and there are huge chunks of green bell peppers in the mix. Am I supposed to eat those or are they there to add color? I’m tempted to send photos to the green bell pepper producers each time I have to dig them out and wrap them in a Kleenex to throw out.
I was joking earlier there was not any flavor difference between green and other bell peppers, but I am surprised that there exists a “I hate green bell peppers but love red bell peppers” view. If you were to compare this to the 7 point banana ripeness scale, i’d put a green bell pepper at a 3/7 compared with a red bell pepper at a 5/7. Reasonable to have a preference, but going from perfect to inedible?
I am so grateful that I have very little food intolerance. I like nearly everything I find in America. I prefer something over others, like I prefer black olives to green olives on my pizza but I have never refused to eat a piece of pizza because it had green olives on it.
There are some foods I have come across outside of the US that I might refuse to eat. And yes, there is the possibility that I might come across them in America but that is a low enough probability I’m willing to ignore it.
With the exception of executive level positions or perhaps some upper-management level positions: employers expecting candidates to get dressed up in business formal wear for an interview is dumb.
This is 100x as true for any entry-level position, any retail position, any factory position, … it’s like once upon a time where men had to dress in a suit and tie, as if that was the be-all deciding factor in whether you could afford to take out a loan of whatever kind. It’s dog-and-pony bullshit.
have a client meeting wed am. in prep for it, discussed what we were wearing.
client said the bigshots at the meeting always wear suit and tie. lead lackey on our team said, fine I’ll wear a tie. we were told, god no, not needed. maybe just a jacket is fine. will wear my jacket - its 2 hours
i was just at an industry conference where you could see the age line where dudes felt they could not leave their room for the trade show floor without the blue blazer. black pants be damned. i wore jeans and a gold shirt.
