You realize you just said that you lack the ability to NOT poison people, right?

Anyway, being too much of a pussy and an incompetent at cooking meat -- one of the simplest things to cook and cook well -- that's not a ringing endorsement by an stretch of the imagination.

That's too bad for you. I don't live in New Mexico, but I've vacationed there quite a bit. It's cheap, there's some nice ski resorts in the north, there's desert in the south if that's your kind of thing, or if you're some gung-ho type, you can visit White Sands missle range (where they tested the atomic bombs). Biggest tumbleweeds I've ever seen (that's not saying much, but they were reallly really big), oh, and let's not forget Roswell (aliens! aliens everywhere!) It's a fun state to drive through and tour around. If you have a girlfriend, or a nice mom, you can get cheap and awesome jewelry there. I prefer the north, but the south has some interesting things, like Roswell, White Sands, Hatch (chile festival), Silver City, etc. It's a chill place. And, like I said, cheap as shit.

I can agree with southern food being the best. Spain, France, Italy and Greece possess both the most varied raw materials and the most sophisticated cuisine, with even the most rustic forms of peasant food being delicious and varied. As a Scandinavian, the local food consists mostly of pine cones, shrubberies and bears. The north sucks.

While not a national, I'm ethnically Greek: I'm from a part of Italy that speaks a Greek dialect. Greek food is as unvaried and unsophisticated as it comes. It's the meat-and-potatoes style of eating that northern nations get stereotyped with, but with a sprig of rosemary or leaflet of mint here or there. Truly uninspired and simplistic and not even all that good. If you're gonna serve me some potatoes, gimme some stamppot over anything the Greeks do.

Hi. I'm this guy: >>3908135
I live in the US now. I've been to some barbecues and backyard pot-lucks hosted by black people up in the north. Since the majority, if not all, black Americans have some recent connection to the American south, I think I can say with confidence that I've experienced similar situations.
Out of the four different black Americans that have hosted now 7 different barbecue-like get-togethers, I can say with certainty that the whole guy-who-fries-the-best-fish-even-though-his-fried-fish-tastes-like-next-to-nothing thing is a trope. Each of those seven 'cues had that guy, admittedly though it was the same guy for three of those seven get-togethers, but still: I see your point and affirm its truth.
The northern white people American version of it is barbecued ribs, potato salad and backyard burgers: almost no matter who makes it, each one's ribs tastes the same and none are more or less tender than the others, all the potato salad is sweet and gross (to my tastes) and the burgers are always charred discs of vaguely meat-flavoured foodstuffs, placed between bread.

Ok, I don't care for catfish either. Too gritty. Trout is way better. I live in the South (Greater New Orleans Area) and the food here is phenomenal, it isn't all fried bull shit either. It is on par with some of the food I have enjoyed in France,Italy,Germany, Chicago,New York, San Francisco and LA. In some cases, better. There is this guy who raises wild boar on the Northshore that produces the best meat I have ever tasted. Gumbo is a given.And we have John Folse's Bittersweet dairy that makes amazing butter,creole cream cheese,ice cream etc.. So many people in my area are driven by the desire to make really delicious and multinational food, food that isn't just fried bullshit and greens (although we have the market cornered on that too)

I mean... unless, of course, you're stating that it's my opinion that there's always some guy who claims he fries the best fish, but then you'd have to state that it's also my opinion that, say, I just put this very post into the thread.
