Is soul food spicy?

[Anonymous No.12937770]

I hear black people all the time talk about how white people food lacks spice, but their stuff doesn't exactly seem like it'd have me reaching for the milk.

Just means they dump half a bottle of misc. preground shite on their food.

Why do you need three carb dishes for one piece of chicken? That’s retarded.

Niggers did not invent spicy food, they just add hot sauce to food invented by whites, especially the British.

I find this food really overrated. I went to some famous one in North Carolina at I think Chapel Hill. Mama something’s. Anyway, I had had loads of recommendations and was with a group of people so ordered one of everything off the menu including what seemed like some outside barbecue thing that was happening that day (iirc a Sunday).

Anyway, I just found it utterly forgettable. It had all these great sounding names and the way it’s served is interesting, but the food itself was insipid at best to almost inedible. Almost no flavour, no particular spicyness or visual appeal. I think I half assumed in my head it would be similar to Caribbean food (which is excellent) but not at all. The cultural cuisine equivalent of that relative who can’t cook but you don’t want to hurt their feelings by telling them so you rave about their crockery and table setting instead.

And it wasn’t only here - I went to another supposedly famous one in the Bronx in New York and it was the same experience. Bland, boring, overrated, dull, uninteresting.

Nice sounding in principle but I’m afraid the reality is just a dud.

It's worse than that, these niggers expect people to stand in line and pay out the nose for it and it's like fuck you I can make better myself in a few minutes without the pretense.
The only thing I can think of that's worse are those idiots in Philly with their pathetic cheesesteaks.

Black man here. Niggas don't know shit about spices. They just throw a bunch of whatever in whatever they're making for flavor, but there isn't any nuance or attempt at interesting complexity. It's still typically better than midwestern white food though, because they understand that fat and spices are worth something. I've met a lot of white people who believe in not seasoning food at all while cooking.

the thing is, good meat doesn't actually needs seasoning, and good cooking (read frie some onions, add some peppers, garlic, etc, etc) doesn't even ask for spices, it's already tasty

You know? This is the first time that I have heard this take online or in person without any exagguration and I'm obliged to accept it. Thank you so much for being rational about it. My mom (not even from the American midwest, which by the way, has the worst cuisine in the world) doesn't season shit, and it sucks, and I know it, but the joke that all white people don't season their food is so old and low-hanging, man. It makes me sad when I hear the joke because it's wasted to the point where people must actually believe what they're saying when they make the joke; like Cajun food doesnt exist, or like Soul food sits on an ivory pedestal of greater spice complexity above Italian or French cooking.

"lacks spice" refers to lack of seasoning, not lack of spiciness. Most soul food is flavourfull, but not especially spicy until you get into Louisiana, where domesticated peppers became more popular as ingredients.

Those louisiana fucks need to get over themselves. They didn't invent chile peppers, they like to think that they did but far from it, people were eating those thousands of years before they tried to "domesticate" anything.

I didn’t say carbs are bad so stop putting words in my mouth. I eat carb dishes and like them but my question was why you want to mix three different types of carb sides in one meal? I just don’t get it.

>>12939048
Well, this seems to me like a lot of sides for small piece of chicken. I don’t know how big your sides usually are but this is a lot.

Authentic carribbean jerk barbecue is actually quite spicy and delicious and uses many of the same seasonings as Indian food except you substitute chilis with scotch bonnets.

Usually when people are praising Soul Food, they mean barbecue. American Soul Food is typically fairly mild, fatty fried and breaded affairs. American barbecue runs the gambit from sweet and savory to spicy.

Cajun food is really the spicy food of the south. Soul food is often dressed with hot sauce by customers after plating, but in general it's not cooked with a lot of hot pepper spice. You /pol/tards already know that. However, you must be forgetting all of the other multi-billions of people on the planet who would obliterate your weak anglo/nordic genes in the first generation of interbreeding who happen to have a darker skin tone and do indeed cook flavorful spicy hot dishes as opposed to boring, insipid mush.

Thanks for actual normal response. I am not an american so I have zero experience with soul food and such. I always thought it’s supposed to be cheap but at least good tasting. Poverty explains it well as grains are cheapest source of food. My country has poverty food as well but we know how to mix carb sources to make complete protein out of it (e.g. grains and legumes) which OP’s picture doesn’t even have so that’s just confirmation, that nigs are really dumb.
