The Internet Is Tearing Apart Trying To Define What The Fuck A Casserole Is

A lot of issues have dramatically polarised the internet: ‘Is the dress blue or gold?’, ‘Is it a potato scallop or potato cake?’, ‘Is the part in the Hank Scorpio episode of The Simpsons where Homer says he’s seen a man say goodbye to a shoe a reference to having just seen it then, or another unexplained incident in the past?’, but this one is a bit surprising in just how divisive it is.

The bizarre thing that did it this time was one of Australia‘s most widely loved and most attractive writers, Benjamin Law, posting to Twitter challenging people to define what exactly constitutes a casserole (an intensely white person dish):
