What are your feelings on Southern food? I speak, broadly, of the cuisine of the Southern United States.

From the South myself and I'm the only person I know who isn't nuts for grits. Texture never seemed to sit right with me.
Butter and salt in it will make it better though, like anything

I wasn't a fan of grits much growing up because my mom would only put sugar and butter in. When I learned of cheese, bacon, and shrimp grits, I gained a new appreciation for it.

[Anonymous No.17080131]

it tastes good but southerners are way too fucking proud of themselves just for frying everything they eat and eating a shitton of corn.
cajun and tex-mex are the best food america can call its own.

Tex-mex is arguably a branch of southern food, and cajun absolutely is.

[Anonymous No.17080306]

>>17080283
pretty sure they know that cajun and texmex are southern, that's probably why they mentioned them

[Anonymous No.17080368]

>>17080306
He worded his comment in such a way as to imply tex-mex and cajun were alternatives to southern food.

[Anonymous No.17080439]

>>17080368
he didn't, but the fact that they are both southern region cuisine makes it not even matter if he meant it that way.

no one likes it without some deep fried heavily spiced batter to hide the taste of the fish, is that really worth mentioning
also disliking grits is just strange, it's hardly different from every other starch gruel. The weird part about them is considering it worth naming.

southern biscuits for me though

What is generally considered "southern" US food is not cuisine, it's just good eating. There is nothing pretty or healthy about it and that's what makes it a delight. Are collards good for you by themselves? Sure. Once they are cooked up in the fat of bacon/fatback/jowls with a side of corn bread? Not so much. But fuck me running if it isn't good.

I think it's safe to say that in the common vernacular "cuisine" infers a higher quality of product than what most sourthern food is. Especially considering how many of the dishes are based on and designed around poorer cuts of meat. After all, you wouldn't call fast food cuisine either but it falls under the definition.

[Definitely Not Gary No.17087320]

American food is Southern Food, Italian Food, Mexican Food and Asian Food. If you are American and aren’t Italian and dislike Southern Food you’re clearly a Spic or a Chink.

Uh... yeah? It's the food that was invented north of the border via influence from mexicans, hence the name. Nachos, chili, some forms of enchiladas, some forms of burritos, "tacos gringos", etc. It's why mexicans REEE at "american versions of mexican food" because it's actually completely different. It's tex-mex.

I've been to the south a few times and loved most of the food. Favorites were probably crawdad/redfish poboy, red beans & rice, jambalaya, and some gourmet chicken & waffes I had at an upscale restaurant in Louisiana. The only thing I didn't care for was how sweet the iced tea was, and how vinagery the hot sauce was.
