/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Although not a national cuisine in its own right, I want to stick up for Southern/Soul Food. It's not all fried brown things with a side of empty carbs (mashed potatoes/macaroni & cheese) and gravy.

We have a variety of produce like turnips and collard greens with cornbread, black eye peas, okra and tomato stew (yes we eat okra that hasn't been battered and fried, sometimes whole and uncut too), squash and onions, butter beans, corn grits before it was called rediscovered as polenta and made cool, etc.
