It is a milieu that by its nature would not appeal to many people, nor even be understandable to them. So maybe it is not a perfectly accurate reflection of society in general.
Nevertheless. Evenso. And not at all withstanding. If it does validly stand in for all of us, that is a darn good thing.
The responses to the question posed, from numerous people named Esther, Rivky (or Rivkie), Gila, Mendy, Shunamith, Debra (various spellings), plus several names too specific to mention because you might actually know them, was, overwhelmingly, "hell yeah lets eat".
Many of the men wished to point out that there was a cake lurking behind the fried chicken, or that if hot wax dripped on the food it would ruin it.
A huge number people on either side of the mechitza made serious and passionate suggestions regarding condiments.
Only one (!) wondered about kashrus.
So basically: Yes, and a condiment.
There is hope for humanity yet.
