You realize that you're talking about southern food right? As in not exclusively black?
This. OP probably has an antifa flag and speaks on behalf of Black America.
And he's anglo as anglo can be.
Southern food is great because Southern white people have a different set of culinary influences than northern white people. I don't know what that influence might be, but it must've been huge.
French, Scottish, native American, and west African.
My wife is white southern and is passionate about black culture Mac n cheese
Does she have a cast iron skillet that she only uses for corn bread?
Man there's Canadians that have that.
Truth, I'm Scottish and have that. But... The cornbread made in it is always savoury. Never sweet.
This is true for US southerners. Man they HATE sweet cornbread.
That's weird.. Living in the South for half of my life, every place, including grocery stores, sells some deliciously sweet ass corn bread. But in California, Washington, Oregon, even Michigan? Nope.. it's just slightly sweet and a different texture.
Really varies on where you go and who you talk to. It's not a universal thing.
That's because it's trash.
There really is something to that, the non stick surface you can get if you never introduce acid or meat. Used mayonnaise to season a dutch oven and fry pan over time after seeing what mayonnaise slathered bread used to make grilled cheese sandwiches did over time to a flat top. The dutch ovens for rye bread, skillet for corn.
Liar liar pants on fire. This is not a, "black culture mac n cheese". This is straight up southern style mac n' cheese.
Uh… wut? I’m from the west coast but since I’m military and met my wife on the south
Where do you think the southern slave owners got their culinary influences from?
In this case, regarding macaroni and cheese? Never know, could've been africa, I suppose. Much more likely it could have been Its origins trace back to cheese and pasta casseroles dating to the 14th century in Italy and medieval England. The traditional macaroni and cheese is a casserole baked in the oven; however, it may be prepared in a sauce pan on top of the stove or using a packaged mix.[4]
Apt user name 😂
I fisted your dad.
I don't think the point of the meme is that Mac n cheese belongs to black people. It's that GOOD Mac n cheese belongs to black people. Maybe you didn't notice, but the Mac n cheese on the left looks how it should while the one on the right looks like watery stoffers. If you didn't notice, I'd say the meme is pretty accurate.
Fuck off with this racist horseshit.
It's a meme
Facts don't care about your feelings.
No. They don't.
So "homemade" vs "frozen?" Homemade mac and cheese is a black thing, and white people didn't eat it before freezers were invented? TIL.
Memes aren't meant to be history lessons.
I get that, but the Mac n cheese on the left is made by people in the south, not just black people. In fact a lot of things labeled as "black" are actually just southern. Its just the south has better food than the north. White people are eating it too.
Edit: as a European who likes spicy food, anything you're likely to get north of the Mason Dixon line is basically inedible slopp. Go eat a bowl of seafood gumbo and tell me I'm wrong. Go on, I'll wait. And while you're down there, bring me some southern maid donuts.
A lot of southern things were co-opted from blacks. It's called soul food for a reason.
Pasta is not one of those things.
Gumbo, if you know how to cook it, is the same basic thing as split pea and ham soup, if you're doing that right. It's a classic "same thing but local ingredients" deal, French cooking by way of the Acadians down to Louisiana.
