    I feel like a lot of postwar US cooking could be explained by the following facts:

    • A Americans lived through the great depression
    • All Americans lived through world war rationing
    • A huge portion of Americans grew up in a world where things like refrigeration, grocery stores, etc didn’t exist.

    The end result was the food equivalent of giving a thirteen year old from the 1990s a smartphone for the first time. Just pure disgusting excess with no real rhyme or reason.
