Oxtail, fried plantains and marinated pork; in addition to being racists, the town council doesn't know good food. That all sounds delicious.
How we ended up with a native cuisine inferior to the English is something I don't get. It isn't like the entire planet is injecting us with immigrants at all times.
Gotta get out of WASP neighborhoods, there's tons of good American food developed (mostly by immigrants and slaves) over the hundreds of years since colonization. And it's not like the native population was eating dirt.
Fried peanuts and oxtail. Fuck Americans that don't get it.
I'd argue Cajun cooking is native cuisine, granted that was cobbled together from the cooking traditions of several immigrant cultures.
Native to your area. I can't get it without a bit of work.
The same can be said about provincial french cuisine. You are so used to a world of food chains that you can't imagine a past history where EVERYTHING was regional.
I live on the east coast and travel to major east coast cities a few times a year for fun. Seeing people in NYC eating at like Chipotle or other fast food drives me bonkers.
I know some people are locals and that's reasonable, but visiting a place like that and not eating the local grub seems so dumb.
The palate for oxtail is way different than mayonnaise on white bread. Or even plain rice and boiled chicken.
The plantains might be a little too much for them too.
That's the sort of thing we eat down here all the time. What's wrong with fried plantains? Oxtail is kind of hit or miss, but if you know someone who can cook it well... 👩🍳😘 Truly divine. And who hates marinated pork? It makes the best tacos.
Judging by their open bigotry, what's wrong with all of this is that it was cooked by black folk.
So it would seem.
What a disappointing state of affairs.
There is literally no benefit to racism but a fucktonne of limitations and loss of opportunity. It really breaks my brain why people keep making it so central to their identity.
