Every time I hear a Hello Fresh or an M&S food ad, the meals are described with 4 or 5 adjectives, and with every ingredient and cooking process getting a starring role.
... slow-cooked, smoke-infused, lemon, avocado pasta with extra virgin olive oil from the hills of Bologna...
Dear white people, is that how you people really speak? The other day a colleague asked me what I'd brought in for lunch
"Rice," I replied.
They looked at me expectantly, so I added: "... from the shores of Lagos."

@davidnjoku@mastodon.world Yes of course... I describe my wife as "a delightfully well-rounded sensation, with the deep mellow tones that only being raised in Yorkshire can bring, finished off with a blond and copper topping."
