Okay. The Space 220 youtube videos will have to suffice.

This made me think of puking on Mission Space: Orange, for some sophomoric reason.

I am not a foodie. I couldn’t care less about how the food is grown/raised and then prepared. If I like how it tastes then it’s good!
I do find it very off putting when a self proclaimed foodie basically calls me out for enjoying trash. (Yet another reason I migrated here from chat)
We enjoyed Space220 lounge and would like to go back someday when a reservation shows up.

I liked the food at Space 220. I am definitely not a fancy food guy. Well, I do like fried calamari (is there anything that is not better fried? 
).

This always seems to be portrayed by those who loudly “don’t care” to the point that it’s caricature. As if everyone who cares about the sources of food wants to interview the pig farmer or see the serial number of each tomato.
I care about where vegetables, particularly corn and tomatoes, come from because they’re both vegetables that need to be picked really ripe and then start to go downhill fast. So if you tell me it’s Zellwood corn or an Immokalee tomato, I know it was probably picked ripe very recently and didn’t spend all week in a truck coming from Mexico. And a cook who gets a hold of good produce like that is probably going to do something more interesting and enjoyable with it.
I find reverse snobbery far more common in this and other Disney forums. Look at how many times “fancy” has been used with obvious pejorative intent just in this thread. Or the hooting and hollering that comes up with certain seemingly-triggering foods, like that old punching bag kale. Hell, I helped my grandfather grow kale in his garden 40-plus years ago. My mother said they ate it when she was young because they didn’t have much money in those days. My widowed Italian grandmother, who lived alone for almost 30 years in a three room garden apartment, had pepper plants outside her back door in summer. She roasted them over the gas flame on her stove, peeled them, and served them with olive oil and hard provolone cheese. Was that fancy?
Unless were talking about macro issues that are well beyond the scope of discussion for a forum about an amusement park, I don’t think what or where one eats is much of a commentary on one’s character. You can eat all the as-you-call-it junk you want and it doesn’t say anything negative about your character, intelligence, or worth to society. Likewise, if I want a bottle of wine or ham that comes from one specific hillside in Spain, it neither makes me a paragon of virtue nor one of the more foolish members of Louis XIV’s court.

Once again I can’t tell if your post is serious or satire. But I’ll just say I don’t have a problem if other people are “fancy.” People’s tastes are their tastes. But for me often something being fancy usually means it has something in it I don’t like. I don’t think it’s pejorative to say something is fancy or not fancy, just that my tastes lie on the latter end.
Quality ingredients are another thing.

Yep lost me at Zellwood corn
Again, if you like knowing those sorts of things, great enjoy yourself.
If you don’t, great enjoy yourself!

I’m entirely serious.
Dinner fox six at Victoria and Albert’s is about the same price as an eight-hour VIP tour. Both are expensive by any plain reading of the term. Both are uniquely Disney experiences. I will bet all the cash dollars in my wallet I can guess which would be considered the extravagance by most people in this forum.

Zellwood is a small town south of Mount Dora, about 20 miles north of WDW. There are farms there that grow a really sweet variety of corn that comes into season when most of the country is frozen over. It’s nothing fancy. It shows up in Publix four or five ears for a dollar. But one learns pretty quickly to grab it when it’s in stock because it’s everything good about fresh corn.
I’m hard pressed to see how that’s different from “I like [food item X] from [chain restaurant Y].”

To me the recent posts were about not putting people down for their own tastes and opinions.
@Jeff_AZ at some point maybe this could be a poll? Make sure you include both are extravagant and neither are extravagant as choices too?

It isn’t, until you start pointing out that if you don’t know where your corn comes from you are beneath me.
I hope and think we are both saying the same thing.
It’s okay to like the things you like and let others like the things they like without making a big deal about it.
But like @Jeff_AZ said it can be difficult to tell if you are serious or making a point through satire. Or maybe just joking around.

Which I didn’t do to you or anyone else, so I’m going to assume you’re speaking generally. Quite the contrary, I specifically said neither knowing or caring about the source of one’s food, or not knowing and not caring, is a value judgment or comment on one’s character.
I’d say this chicken is just about choked to death.

We had a 10-day trip right after Thanksgiving 2021 staying onsite & we could not get an ADR for any day or time for Space 220 (party of 6 but searched other configurations). My sister & I are hardcore Disney, checking all the time including during the trip plus we had multiple reservation finders going. I didn’t think the leading reservation thing was for me bc we’ve always been able to get the ADRs we want & bc of the PITA part of it but I’m seriously considering it for our trip next summer.
