You realize that you're talking about southern food right? As in not exclusively black?

This. OP probably has an antifa flag and speaks on behalf of Black America.

And he's anglo as anglo can be.

Southern food is great because Southern white people have a different set of culinary influences than northern white people. I don't know what that influence might be, but it must've been huge.

French, Scottish, native American, and west African.

Does she have a cast iron skillet that she only uses for corn bread?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Man there's Canadians that have that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Truth, I'm Scottish and have that. But... The cornbread made in it is always savoury. Never sweet.

This is true for US southerners. Man they HATE sweet cornbread.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

That's weird.. Living in the South for half of my life, every place, including grocery stores, sells some deliciously sweet ass corn bread. But in California, Washington, Oregon, even Michigan? Nope.. it's just slightly sweet and a different texture.

Really varies on where you go and who you talk to. It's not a universal thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That's because it's trash.

There really is something to that, the non stick surface you can get if you never introduce acid or meat. Used mayonnaise to season a dutch oven and fry pan over time after seeing what mayonnaise slathered bread used to make grilled cheese sandwiches did over time to a flat top. The dutch ovens for rye bread, skillet for corn.

Liar liar pants on fire. This is not a, "black culture mac n cheese". This is straight up southern style mac n' cheese.

Uh… wut? I’m from the west coast but since I’m military and met my wife on the south

Where do you think the southern slave owners got their culinary influences from?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

In this case, regarding macaroni and cheese? Never know, could've been africa, I suppose. Much more likely it could have been Its origins trace back to cheese and pasta casseroles dating to the 14th century in Italy and medieval England. The traditional macaroni and cheese is a casserole baked in the oven; however, it may be prepared in a sauce pan on top of the stove or using a packaged mix.[4]
