<span class="foreignphrase"><i class="foreignphrase">déclassé</i></span>). Hackers prefer the

exotic; for example, the Japanese-food fans among them will eat with gusto

such delicacies as fugu (poisonous pufferfish) and whale. Thai food has

experienced flurries of popularity. Where available, high-quality Jewish

delicatessen food is much esteemed. A visible minority of Southwestern and

Pacific Coast hackers prefers Mexican.</p><p>For those all-night hacks, pizza and microwaved burritos are big.

Interestingly, though the mainstream culture has tended to think of hackers as
|
||
incorrigible junk-food junkies, many have at least mildly health-foodist
|
||
attitudes and are fairly discriminating about what they eat. This may be
|
||
generational; anecdotal evidence suggests that the stereotype was more on the
|
||
mark before the early 1980s.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="hates.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="appendixb.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="politics.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Things Hackers Detest and Avoid </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Politics</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
