Gayest Foods Ever

I never thought of Tom Collins as particularly gay. However, it was my introduction to alcohol. A Catholic high school trip to Ireland, at the age of sixteen. We were there in February, where they rolled up the sidewalks at 7:30. So, we drank in the hotel bar. My best friend was no stranger to alcohol, and tried to get me interested. I didn't care for the taste of beer back then. My friend suggested gin, and the most palatable gin came in the form of a Tom Collins: sweet and tangy at the same time.
I don't think I've had one since. But the deed is done...

Actually, I'm not sure if it is either. It was a joke. People always said only women ordered Tom Collins. Therefore if a man ordered one...... well, there it is.
I still order Tom Collins, and I DO get strange looks if I order one outside a gay bar. So, maybe there's some truth to it after all! :)
Ellemeno:
Happy Meals?
luigival:
Maybe all kinds of chiffon cakes? And a mimosa?
BTW: greatly enjoyed Little Miss Sunshine. For me one of the best movies of the year.
Meryl:
Baked brie, and any drink with an umbrella in it. ;D

Alright, I'm going to admit I'm offended by the title of this topic. If it was "Frou frou-est" Food Ever," or sumpn, that would be different to me. But the word "gay" now means "homosexual." It doesn't mean "rarified urban dandy, partially stuck in the 1950s." It's too broad a term to be mocked this way without lumping a huge bunch of people into one type. Not many gay people are actually recreating a Truman Capote dinner party when they sit down to eat every night. (Not that he probably served Strawberry Quik...)
Shall we start a thread called "Blackest Food Ever?" I think they all like fried chicken and watermelon, don't they?
And I'm not lacking a sense of humor - I see what's inherently funny about a list that includes chiffon cake and mimosas, trout almondine and drinks with little umbrellas in them. Would Jack and Ennis get this list? If they don't, are they then not-gay?
And what about all the gay women in the world? Are they included in this brie and arugula-fest?
To conclude my courageous stance to speak up when some of my favorite gay and non-gay people have joined in the humor, I will briefly recap - the only part I mind is the word "gay" being used as the descriptor.
Good, now that I have spoken up to friendly folk, it will be easier the next time it's UNfriendly folk I need to speak up to about their stereotyping.
