Stuff white people like: the very special food and beverage edition

Written by

Admit it, these apply to you too.

The other week Christian Lander the author of the blog and now best selling bookStuff White People Like was in town.

Basically Stuff White People Like is a bit like Top Trumps for White People. I’ll trump you some Murray River Salt and an Ortiz anchovy over your iodised salt and a pilchard. The same goes for my imported Arneis ($75) over yours from the King Valley ($20).

Bearing in mind the readership of this blog, I thought you might like to know that Apple products, travel and Asian girls make the full list here.

White people it turns out also love Typos on Menus (and blogs I suspect).

I should possibly add irony, bearing in mind that it was lost on some people on my post for The Punch, which is also on this blog here.
