My point is that what you posted as evidence bigotry is not really very strong. Certainly, if that joke was posted by a bigot it would be punching down. But otherwise it is just a normal situational joke.

So, op posted a joke that someone else made they knew was in bad taste, but got a chuckle from? That sets a pretty low bar for calling someone a bigot.

Also, jungles' original meaning is just "uninhibited." So vast plains counted, too.

I think that is the point. They just went and conquered places with better food and made them part of their empire, so the food then became theirs too.
