Every time I hear a Hello Fresh or an M&S food ad, the meals are described with 4 or 5 adjectives, and with every ingredient and cooking process getting a starring role.
... slow-cooked, smoke-infused, lemon, avocado pasta with extra virgin olive oil from the hills of Bologna...
Dear white people, is that how you people really speak? The other day a colleague asked me what I'd brought in for lunch
"Rice," I replied.
They looked at me expectantly, so I added: "... from the shores of Lagos."
@davidnjoku i think generally my inclination is to name the two primary ingredients, usually one of which is the carb which provides the structure of the dish while the other is the main flavor — eg. pasta with tomato sauce (where the sauce probably actually contains a number of vegetables besides the tomato and the protein source—which varies—isn’t even mentioned) or beans & rice (skipping over all the vegetables and spices which are cooked with the dish on the assumption that they are either not integral and therefore not worth mentioning, or integral enough that you already know i used them)
