    They didn’t think you were homeless. They correctly saw you struggle to buy a 10 dollar pizza with change from your pockets.

    Most people will use a 20 or a card.

    Yeah, you didn’t “need” the help, but that helped you nonetheless.

    Also I know this isn’t OP so my breath is wasted, but people need to realize you don’t need to be homeless to be in a rough spot. You can be working poor.



  • There has been a concerted effort by the US Govt to remove as much Indian culture as possible. Moving tribes from their homelands to reservations where the plants used in dishes are different, forbidding native languages, taking kids and schooling them to be white while they’re a thousand miles away from home to prevent cultural passing down, all adds up to a loss in recipes and traditions.

    Indian tacos, while delicious, aren’t exactly traditional because they’re made with flour and other ingredients supplied by the US govt.

    However, there are other things that have lasted - wojapi (berry sauce), kanuchi (nut soup), and some others. Mainly things that could translate between regions and be orally retold until they could be written down. Now it just takes a Google search to find them.

    But overall, it’s hard to build a menu on pre-contact food. There’s a few restaurants, but it’s not easy.
