Cracker Barrel's Rural Fanbase IN REVOLT over Vegetarian Sausage on the Menu

Publish date: 2024-05-04

Granted, it's only hicks on social media, but this backlash is ludicrous! They're not removing pork sausage from the menu. They are merely adding this new alternative to the existing menu.

But the red staters aren't having it, and some are making churlish threats ("You just lost a customer for life! Go woke, go broke!") over the sourcing of sausage matter.

What say ye, gays?

One thing you have to remember, especially if these people are victims of the Q-Anon cult or just a conspiracy theorist in general, is that there are a lot of CTs, rumors, and outright lies going around about what Impossible meat is made from. Therefore their outrage is misguided yet understandable. I was talking with an older lady in the grocery store and she was convinced it is made from aborted fetuses and she wouldn't listen to the truth.

R17 It is understandable if that is what they believe even if their belief is not understandable.

It is like the Jan 6 rioters, the vast majority of them really believed the lies Trump fed them. And, therefore while I disagree with what they did because I disagreed with the premise it was based on, I don't disagree with their actions. "If" the things being claimed by Trump had been true then that is exactly how one would hope Americans would respond. But, it was all built upon lies, because the big baby couldn't accept defeat. And, it is costing the lowly rioters while Trump, Rudy, etc... are seemingly safe, for now.

I know it isn't cool, but I always have sympathy for the followers of cults, even if I hate the leaders. So yes I feel sympathetic towards the average Q-anon follower, because following Q makes them a victim of Q, whomever it is.

This reminds me of a story I heard recently about a diner in Hampton Bays on Long Island that decided to have Spanish food specials once a week due to the Latino/a population in the area. Well, a number of the local white folks (including local politicians) went ballistic and started threatening and harassing the diner owner until the guy finally got fed up and closed the diner, which had been there for a very long time.

Hampton Bays is in Suffolk County, which is very Republican (you see Lee Zeldin for Governor signs all over) and is located between Westhampton and Southampton. Suffolk County is also VERY anti-immigrant though the local whites would never deign to do the menial jobs that the immigrants perform.

I went to Cracker Barrel in Mississippi a few months ago (not my choice - I was visiting family and this was their way of treating me). My first time at this restaurant.

I noticed that the food was flavorless and gross, and yet the decor was kind of fun and 'old fashioned' looking. I also noticed that an older couple at the table next to us said nothing to each other throughout the whole meal, and when the sweet tea was served, they each took their straws, and like little children they blew the wrapper off the straw, letting it cascade to the floor, and never picked them up. They giggled to each other as the black waitress picked up their mess.

As the child of rednecks, let me say that hunting, animal slaughter, and meat consumption are a sacred part of many people’s identity in rural areas, so they feel that the addition of vegetarian items to the menu as an attack on their very identity. They are terrified of being erased by the “coastal elites” who they believe are foisting fake meat upon them (among other things.)

I don't think so. I believe it was an offshoot of the Usenet gossip groups and Is He/She Gay. There were columns and news items before a forum was added, and information for progressive voters, and tons of links to drag queens. So basically the polar opposite of what it is today, which is "drag queens are corrupting our youth" and "you wokesters are ruining the world."

I welcome vegetarian meat and lab-grown meat. The modern meat industry is completely unethical in regards to not just animals but the environment overall. Once vegetarian meats with the same nutrients and vitamins as regular meat becomes more widely available, affordable and ubiquitous. I can see a very strong argument to stop the consumption of meat altogether except in impoverished countries where they lack that option.

Also these Red State conservatives ain't hunting shit nor grow their own food. They live in suburbs and cities just like the rest of America and rely on the same social services like public schools, police, fire departments, libraries and welfare. They go to grocery stores and restaurants that ship their food from mass food corporations. Sure, they may go hunting as a hobby on the weekend but they aren't getting most of their food from hunting deer. I don't get why some of them have this superiority complex and think they're more "American" for the most arbitrary reasons.

However, I agree with you that the majority of red state conservatives rely on factory farms like the rest of us, yet in their eyes simply being a meat consumer is a valid source of pride.

I think the fuss is quite silly but then again it’s not the first time people have complained about food typing introduced into their favorite restaurant that they found some objection to because it related to someone who is not like them.

I don’t eat beef or pork sausage very often. I tried the impossible burger and agree with previous posters that it has an aftertaste. And this is because they add the typical unhealthy ingredients that go into so many of our processed foods. If Nature didn’t create it I say stay away from it. But that’s my personal choice.

When I do travel by car down the East Coast I frequent Cracker Barrel’s. You can get decent fish, the biscuits are outstanding and I like the chicken and dumplings. It gets back to all things in moderation. Grandma was right.

The chicken' n' dumplins' is much lauded there, but when I tried it this year it was super bland. My mother and grandma in the northeast made it much better.

Cracker Barrel is trash now. It was never great, but it used to be edible. Don't understand its popularity.

This brand seems worshipped in The South. Not surprised people find it overrated. I find Chick-fil-A underwhelming as fuck (with Popeyes being the superior Southern chicken brand). I haven't been to Waffle House in forever, I don't even remember what it tastes like. But I'm sure if I visit again, I may be disappointed.

Gee, you mean we have yet another example of white trash conservatives showing how easy it is to trigger them even with the most ridiculous nonsense?

There's a good article in the May/June Cook's Country on making your own sausage.

Would this be part of that "western culture" that needs to be saved that a lot of DLers and fascist trash go on about because "ethnics" have those restaurants with actual good, quality food?

The fucktardery of America grows worse and worse each day. Did the deplorables forget Cracker Barrel's ant-gay policies and racist seating arrangements?

R15 why does Cracker Barrel want to indoctrinate the children 👶🏼 and make them TRANS with their fag sausages??

Just wait, somebody's going to see the image of Jesus in one and suddenly it'll be the most popular dish on the menu.

These are the same people who get offended if they hear another language spoken, because knowing more than just English is "unAmerican."

True story: I heard two women speaking Arabic(?) and some old, white woman started rolling her eyes and then muttered "Speak English, this is America" (I couldn't believe she said something so stereotypical) and one of the women said [in perfect English]: "We would've, but we didn't want you to know we were making fun of you."

The fake meat industry is in a lot of trouble. It's not just a couple of cracker barrel customers.

Invest your retirement funds in grasshoppers instead.
