It's written by a woman.
You are going to see more food stuff in female-centred fiction.
If you read the Hunger Games novels, every day she talks about what she's eating and what she's wearing. And then gets on to the killing.

Obviously you've never read Game of Thrones

The most foodie scene I remember in a novel is Brideshead Revisited. I've probably forgotten way more shit out of novels than I remember at this stage in fairness

What does B*rkean mean?

Burkean, seems to be an Irish alt-right website, or perhaps just rightwing is a better description. Maybe an attempt at an Irish National Review? If I had heard of it before i'd forgotten about it.

Normal People: Lecherous Chad-Worshipping Fantasies on Full Display | The Burkean

I expected to detest Sally Rooney’s ‘Normal People’. Arguably the most successful Irish writer of the 2010’s, her works have captured a key demographic: millennial women; not to forget the wine-gulping, perennially depressed older generations, vicariously re-living their spent youth …

Hard to tell if trolling or just very old fashioned, perhaps a bit of both.

Admittedly, until recently I’ve never read Rooney’s books, though considering women’s taste in the written form that’s probably for the best.

I bet the lad writing this is all of 23

I have not read Game Of Thrones
This is true

That take may be possibly confirmation bias on my part, it's just something someone told me and has checked out for me since
Like I am reading that Emilie Pine book and she's on her way to visit her dying father and she makes a point of saying what she had to eat in the airport. And so stuff like that jumps out at me, confirming the thing that my friend told me.
Same with Nora Ephron, as good a writer as there is, never too far from food in her work.
But when I see cooking scenes in Godfather or Goodfellas, I think, "Ah that's the filmmaker reinforcing the theme of family"
So what do I know? I don't know.
I mean we all eat or we die. So we all care about food. Just seems to occupy a larger portion of female interest.
Like most of the food bloggers I read are women. While I acknowledge that there are also male food bloggers.
Most of the people I know on social media that post photos of food most often are women. While I do know that men also do this.

Also, it's not necessarily a negative to say women do stuff or have different priorities.
Women generally have different priorities to men. And I'm just trying to understand all of it. Life is a continuous period of learning.

But maybe the whole premise is wrong cos the stupid girl forgot the fucking cream for the strawberries. So maybe she doesn't care about food at all????

Possibly Burkean conservatism?

Really don't know why you'd asterisk that though
Don't think Edmund Burke is waiting for his mentions to jump all over you.
Although maybe he is?

Think it was set up by some fuckin Trinity dickheads a year or two back. Like proper full-on pro-life kind of dickheads. Review is still very funny of course.

I think that Declan Ganley finances it, or at least gave it start up money. John McGuirk may have had his fingers in it at the start, although both of them criticised them when they published a pro-eugenics article. Whatever the Irish equivalent of the online MAGA choad is turned on McGuirk for that. Believe I saw tweets calling him a cuck.

 

[ann post]

I assume its because they are so deeply up their own holes that they've a google tracker for any time the thing gets mentioned so they can have some kind of soggy biscuit game involving the pings the thing has gotten and the OP was trying to avoid that happening. Kinda late now, be sure to sanitise those screens when you are done, Burkeans.

Notable lack of "cunts" in this.They did, however, get the memo about smoking.

Poor oul Paul Mescal, getting thrust into the limelight as the heart-throb of the moment during a lockdown. Say he's raging. A friend of mine saw him in the local Co-op the other day.

The scuttlebutt online is that he's holed up with Daisy in London for company.

No shit? Thought she had a beau

Still haven't watched this and fairly dedicated to never watching it now. I retract all previous comments.

I read it mentioned in passing. It might not be true, some headline like "Is Normal People hunk Paul isolating with his Normal People co-star?" that I didn't click on. They might have meant his mum, or yer wan who plays Peggy or someone else.
