The two hour lunch though, is by and large a thing of the past. Still, Europeans tend to take more time for their food, both preparing and eating. It’s easier for them to do so, but it’s also something they value. Our culture hasn’t seemed to put much of a premium on that for the most part.

Except for barbeque! KC is one of the barbeque capitals of the US and even churches and neighborhoods have barbeque contests. I have never done 'real' competitions, but I know a few who do, KC has several that are part of the 'circuit' - hours prepping and then staying up all night to monitor and so on....When I get my smoker out it's a whole weekend of prep, cook, portion and freeze and then cleanup. Cook enough for a dozen or more dinners plus turkey breasts and brisket for sandwiches.
Oh yes!! That is something quite apart!! 😍 I don’t know if you remember me saying but I lived in KC years ago, for about 5 years. We absolutely loved the barbecue and the barbecue culture. Now here in Indiana, my good friend’s husband participates in competitions and has won quite a few. He makes the best bbq I’ve had since I left KC 🤤😋
Exactly, there are lots of factors in play.
