I could only make it 1/3 of the way through. This is the danger of being terminally online
the obsession with simple old timey food
lmao it's not like we have fifty different celebrity chefs in the west who constantly harp on people to simplify their recipes or anything
Was watching a travel show where the host tried some and asked the waitress if she liked it and she was trying very hard to be diplomatic about how she thought it tasted.
If you want to learn a little bit about Soviet Ice cream, alongside learning about Soviet "Doctor Sausage", click here for a vid about the history of the Sausage of Socialism obviously it's a video about meat products.
I found it heartwarming how dedicated the Communists of the Stalin Era were to actually making material improvements to the lives of the working class from not just creating a socialist economy but all the way to the little things like getting to enjoying treats like sausages, champagne, and ice cream.
Also lol they wanted to name Doctor Sausage after Stalin
I mean, coming from a time when sugar was wildly more scarce and freezers were new, I can see it. It's a frozen (extremely new) sweet (rare) treat. Makes sense to me
Good is when Capitalism adds 50grams of sugar to ice cream because the natural sweetness of milk isn't profitable enough.
how dare the soviet fascist orcs make ice cream with just milk and real sugar instead of HFCS and more chemicals than you can find in a chemistry lab
How dare these dirty commies not make ice cream out of corn syrup and plastic like God intended?!
You're making me want to see a Forgotten Realms cookbook with an orcish chapter now
so NAFO chuds are so dedicated to hating ANYTHING that is even remotely associated with russia at all that this dude wrote over a dozen tweets about a fucking ice cream??? the way this guy ties appreciation for a popular brand of ice cream in the soviet union (which is expected, a ton of people probably ate it often as children) into like proof of how russians are all fascists is some wild mental gymnastics.
and aside from the totally crazy assumptions this guy is making about something that’s literally just milk and sugar, i have heard from my russian family that plombir was actually very delicious back in the day so this is probably just cope.
Go into the replies and like the third one is about somebody who tried and liked Ukrainian Plombir, because of course it was a Soviet dessert not just a Russian one.
I like plombir still, however in my country they put extremely large stickers with MADE IN LITHUANIA/LATVIA on it to make it okay and not evulll due to putinist mind warp powers.
I'm pretty sure these are people bullied off of 4chan, then forged in reddit. It makes me irrationally angry how lame they are.
tbh I could see any garden-variety western liberal having this take. It's not like your typical lib is any less deranged.
It's genuinely shocking to me how fast, how far, and how deep the hate for anything Russian has spread. "Hate the government not the people" went out the window in the first week, now anything that's remotely Russian is to be hated and scorned.
in some russian grocery stores in the US, anything mentioning russia at all has been pulled from store shelves and the store’s decor out of fear of american chuds pissing themselves over it. among liberals especially there’s a complete rejection of anything that’s associated with russia at all because the russia = bad brainworms are very real.
It's like someone read the Parenti quote and took it as a challenge.
Their bland cheap ice cream, our glorious Wendy's Frosty Dairy Dessert Product
invented by Stalin's Minister of Trade and Torture, Atanas Mikoyan.
seems odd to portray Mikoyan as some evil Stalinist when he was a pretty important part of the destalinization gang.
while the French original is made with candied fruit, almond extract and other bourgeois additives the proletarian Plombir bears no trace of such extravagances.
In the absence of competition, there was no incentive to improve the product when the most basic variety was good enough for the masses.
Hmmm yes the obvious reason why this very unimportant consumer treat isn't flavored is because of ideological reasons/because they didn't bother to innovate because of communism. Could it perhaps be explained by simply comparing the USSR with any other developing country? Where is the ice cream for the people in the slums in the outskirts of cities? Where is the ice cream for the people dying of cholera? Oh wait right. They don't get the treats that westerners take for granted. The soviets simply tried to treat their people better than the impoverishment forced onto developing countries even though they had much bigger issues to be preoccupied with (foreign support for the subversion of their state) so they did it cheaply.
Several years ago, I myself ran a Plombir taste test on my very American son and the results were quite conclusive. He deemed it the most boring ice cream he ever had and refused to proceed beyond the second bite. But Plombir's malign influence on Russia's brains hasn't abated.
Actually, having a full large pizza for lunch is actually good and salads are bad because my child liked one and disliked the other. Like your child has actively been propagandized to love flashy looking foods and wrappers with twirls and shit since they saw their first phone or tv. And they're also ingested way more sugar than a soviet child manipulating your child to like to eat junk with way more sugar than this old ice cream recipe. And one of the "benefits" that was mentioned by you was that they supposedly used fresh, natural ingredients without chemical additives making it more healthy. Obviously that would make an American kid dislike the product because of what they're used to.
Also apparently Ben and Jerry's supports Putin! I actually remember something about them and Israel. I just don't remember if it was backlash because they were against Israel or backlash because they were for Israel.
i think the sole reason this guy says ben and jerry’s supports putin is because one of the founders donates money to a group opposed to US military aid. a little ironic coming from a company that supported israel by making some of their ice cream there, but otherwise an extremely rational position to take. but of course to these people, not supporting supplying ukraine with missiles and nukes and shit means you’re a putler supporting fascist
Of all the people whose takes on food I distrust, I distrust that of a small American child the most.
It makes sense though. If someone doesn't want to trade you their stuff you go on to torture them for it.
I like the one reply that's just "the USSR raised Eastern Europe into sapience"
Finally, a succinct explanation for the Trotskyist split. Stalinists wanted to upllift Eastern Europe, while Trotskyists wanted to uplift cetaceans. :pog-dolphin:
Sugar doesn’t have flavour is a dumb arse take. Sugarcane juice is probably the rawest way of having sugarcane and it’s bloody delicious.
In capitalist America, people cannot enjoy sugar. Instead, they must rely on a cheap substitute made from corn. It is so bad that dissidents risk lawsuits importing Coca Cola from neighboring Mexico.
It’s literally just sweet cream ice cream. Milk + milk fat = reconstituted cream + sugar
I'm a little mesmerized by the writing - it's got that engaging tone that tricks the mind into thinking it's reading something entertaining and yet the jokes are terrible and the attitude so tedious that my eyes just kept glazing over and sliding off the words like they're covered in Teflon. If P-Zombies existed this is how they would write. Maybe this is the proof that they do exist.
Because of the PFP, my brain read every comma as "AKSHUALLLLLY," and I took massive psychic damage.
Whatever lies between chatgpt and the first genuinely self-aware digital sentience is going to sound exactly like that.
It just keeps going wtf
plombir btfo https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_sausage
