One time this Haitian dude was like\u00a0\u201chey, I have question. why white people like cucumber so much?\u201d

\n\n

White People Make Do

I mean I\u2019m proud of this response because it invokes the Southern Girls Make Do image of vegetable dildos (contrasted against all those thick African gourds\u2026)

While also invoking that classic wypipo food comes out of an actual pragmatic tradition, like, \u201cpotato salad with walnuts and raisins\u201d is a dish that can be made entirely out of foods that can be preserved through the long winter of northern latitudes, two of them particularly energy/flavor-dense \u201ctreats\u201d

Actually you know what\u2019s a classic American farm laborers\u2019 treat, a bountiful sweet food that comes ripe in high summer when the living\u2019s easy and there\u2019s no competing harvests, something that (before they bred the taste out to make it thick-rind crisp enough to stand refrigerated rail transport) wouldn\u2019t be exported to distant markets but enjoyed in local feasting, in a way that got associated with black agriculture?
