/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Depends. We eat everything. Lots of international food, lots of our own food that is being sold as international food like "mexican food" and "chinese food". We have the authentic stuff too but most stuff is our own that was just inspired by foreign food. We eat a lot of beef, chicken, and pork. Most popular vegetables are potatoes, tomatoes, lettuces, peppers, and onions. The most common spices are black pepper, garlic, cayenne pepper.

Right now I'm eating smoked boudain, it's a regional sausage made from rice, pork, liver, and herbs/spices. For lunch I had a bowl of chicken and smoked sausage gumbo, also a regional food. Most of the country doesn't eat this normally but here it's completely normal. Whereas other parts of the country have regional things they eat all the time that I'd rarely eat or maybe haven't even heard of. People forget how big and regional America is.
