chicken and kool aid. in phx theres a spot called lollos chicken and waffles. OH LAWWWWD. sh!t is ridiculously good (and expensive) but they have real chicken and some bomb waffles and the kool aid is served in glass jars (they containt about a barrel of sugar). you can only eat it about once every 3 months unless you want to die. i've done 3 days straight and i had chest pains for a while.

mexican is ridiculous also. if you live in az, cali or texas you know what i'm talking about. tacos and those mexican hot dog stands are win. enchiladas are also win.

[boozehound]

no such thing. there are great dishes from pretty much every region/ethnic group in the world. I would be loathe to exclude any of them from my diet.

they serve grits and corn bread and all that other stuff YOU PEOPLE like(setting up for a cheesy caption pic of tropic thunder). the fried chicken they serve literally melts in your mouth and the koolaid gives you diabetes but it gives you a high. az cardinals go eat there as well as other famous people.

and how are things like fried okra and blackeyed/purplehull/etc peas(domesticated in africa) not black cuisine. Same thing with cornbreads/grits?

They may not be exclusively black (especially today) but the origins of things like watermelon, okra and blackeyed peas is africa.

[New York Knicks]

The term soul food became popular in the 1960s. The origins of soul food, however, are much older and can be traced back to Africa. Foods such as rice, sorghum (known by Europeans as "guinea corn"), and okra — all common elements in West African cuisine — were introduced to the Americas as a result of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and became dietary staples among enslaved Africans. They also comprise an important part of American southern cooking. Many culinary historians believe that in the beginning of the 14th century, around the time of early African exploration, European explorers brought their own food supplies and introduced them into the African diet. Foods such as corn and cassava from the Americas, turnips from Morocco and cabbage from Portugal would play an important part in the history of African American cuisine.[1]

When the European slave trade began in the early 1400s, the diet of newly enslaved Africans changed on the long journeys from their homeland. It was during this time that some of the indigenous crops of Africa began showing up in the Americas.[2]

Enslavers fed their captives as cheaply as possible, often with throwaway foods from the plantation, forcing slaves to make do with the ingredients at hand. In slave households, vegetables were the tops of turnips and beets and dandelions. Soon, slaves were cooking with new types of greens: collards, kale, cress, mustard, and pokeweed. They also developed recipes which used lard; cornmeal; and offal, discarded cuts of meat such as pigs' feet, oxtail, ham hocks, chitterlings (pig small intestines), pig ears, hog jowls, tripe and skin. Cooks added onions, garlic, thyme, and bay leaf to enhance the flavors. Some slaves supplemented their meager diets by maintaining small plots made available to them to grow their own vegetables, and many engaged in subsistence fishing and hunting, which yielded wild game for the table. Foods such as raccoon, squirrel, opossum, turtle, and rabbit were, until the 1950s, very common fare among the still predominantly rural and southern African American population.[3]

black people food is mostly bbq in reality. Also, throw in some chitterlings, pigsfeet, and some hog head cheese and you are set. also, let me say something about common stereotypes:

1. Black people like orange and red kool-aid>purple(whether you believe or not it's true)
2.they like ribs>fried chicken
3.when we get catfish it is like a holiday
4.alot of black people throw up when they eat watermelon
5. we dont eat fried foods as much as we used to.

An episode of Paula Dean will give you an idea of what to expect, as would a peak at the cooking style of Frank Stitt, who combined Low Country and French techniques. Black food, like all food, is location specific, and changes depending on where the people cooked. Coastal Blacks incorporate a lot of fish into their diet. My mother used to make stuff like this:

[highwhey]

has anybody had REAL enchiladas? none of that rolled up sh!t their mom or restraunts serve? the way a real enchilada is cooked is you dip the tortilla in some sauce(made from some chili) and you pan fry it, you top it with mexican cheese(cheese is mixed with arragano i believe and onion), you add cut up cabbage and you add 2 different types of sauces(one of the sauces has potatoe and karrots). you top it off with sour cream and bam, orgasm in your mouth. you serve it with chicken as well. it might not sound very delicious but it is. and i hate vegetables but i can barely taste them.

And indian food, how can they make chickpeas, lentils and rice in so many varied ways that are all delicious.

My favorite component of spanish cuisine is actually the cured meats and all the awesome cheeses, but its all really good.

Bulgogi is pretty good, but the best that I'd recommend is Galbi/Kalbi, however you want to pronounce it.

yeah, my understanding is that even in korea you have to know where to go to get it. but thats all second hand.

[heyhey]

yeah, its amazing how much variety they can get out of a pig ass.


as for the kogolgi, I was trying to reference the dog meat prepared bbq style. I actually have never had it, but have a friend who loves the stuff (he has lived in korea for ~ 4 years).

:facepalm :eek: :cry:

so the rumors are true they do eat dogs in Korea?

[leopoldstotch]

Try kalbi( Korean ribs) they are great

+1

korean ribs are awesome.

[Snoop_Cat]

yeah, my understanding is that even in korea you have to know where to go to get it. but thats all second hand.

Went to Korea 2/3? years ago.

They had this part of town where they specialized in dog meat, and I had this stew called BoShinTang, which I got without knowing it was dog meat and it was pretty good.

FYI for all the people going "WTF YOU EAT DOG", its the same concept as eating cows and its not like they're harvesting poodles, its a pig-like dog bred to be food.

[vapid]

Japanese and French.

[leopoldstotch]

If you ever go to New Orleans you gotta try Dragos
and order some char grilled oysters. Absolutely best oysters I have ever had. I seriously make trips to Louisiana just to have those oysters lol

we can just basically say all louisiana food is good. creole. cajun. italian. louisiana. everything is good.

i stop by every now and again to catch a sports game(saints, hornets) or a weekend food/casino binge. :lol

i know people who swear by it, even tho they knows its wrong. i'd never mess with it but i don't blame old school people who grew up poor where eating any type of meat was a luxury.

kalbi is probably the best meat/flavor i've ever had, but its got to be grilled. theres also a chicken, sort of like a General Tso's, but korean style called Jon Pon Ji, or Gon Pon Ji, something like that, that is really good/unique but its expensive too. most korean food is really underrated since most people probably haven't tried any of it.

[Snoop_Cat]

but cows are dumb as shit but i guess if u like dogs be my guess you have a pic of this pig like bear????????

tried googling for it but all i got were pictures of Asian models. I'm at work at the moment so people will stare at my screen so I'll try to find you guys a picture once I get back home.

[rfoster24]

Mexican. Ranchero fkin cheesesteak.

[leopoldstotch]

as we're in the topic of asian foods at the moment ....

i think the best "fake" asian restaurant chain is pei wei. tastes pretty good to me. :lol

shit I dont see a problem with it, since that is what they are raised for. Its kind of weird that you would use a carnivore (higher trophic level) as a meat source, but my understanding is that they are actually raised on a mostly vegetal diet.

[QUOTE]As Smart as the Primates
Intelligence research was done with pigs in the 1990s. One of the experiments was to train the pigs to move the cursor on a video screen with their snouts. When the pigs used the cursors again, they were able to distinguish between the scribbles they already knew, and the scribbles they were seeing for the first time. The pigs learned this skill as fast as the chimpanzees.

All species of pig are smarter than dogs, and capable of abstract representation.

[ivogetghost]

Im sorry I sound like an idiot for this but I dont still dont see the reason why we can eat cows and little piggies(which i think are very cute) but it is such a bad thing to eat dogs. We also can eat cat but cant eat dogs that are not hot? hahahahahahahahaahahahahaha

[rezznor]

Because so many love dogs and have them as pets. You know, "man's best friend." It would be weird to be eating dog for dinner, then look down and see Fido curled up at your feet. Most of us don't have cows and pigs as pets. And most of us don't become emotionally attached to our fish, so that's different.
yup. i have love dogs. couldn't ever imagine munching on one but other people wouldn't care. it's not just asia either. peruvians eat guinea pigs, some cultures eat monkeys, etc etc.

I don't care if other cultures do it, but I damn sure am not. I love my cat too. With chickens, pigs, cows, etc., it's a case of "out of sight, out of mind."
I dont like cats when they stank, I put that ki-bosh to them quick. Feels me?

I have killed, prepared, and eaten deer, chicken, rattle snake, Iguana, goat, a host of fish, turtle, and squirrel. I have no problem personally killing my food. I was told if I a man can not bring myself to kill his dinner, he does not deserve to eat.

well, there is a ecological argument against eating carnivores (and actually diverse omnivores like pigs).

Carnivores take much more energy (in terms of Kcal in/Kcal out) to raise than herbivores, simply due to the trophic level (in other words, you have to raise herbivores, then feed them to carnivores). Now, it sounds like the diet of the food dogs in asia is mostly vegetal, so this probably doesnt matter. Besides, the way we raise cattle for meat not is not energetically efficient anyways (due to the hidden costs of corn agriculture, antibiotics, etc). The comparison holds for actual grass fed cattle though.


also, animals like goats (browsers) and cattle (grazers) take biomass in the ecosystem we cant utilize ourselves (mainly cellulose and other complex carbos we cant digest) and turn them into meat and milk. Pigs on the other hand (which, like us, have a generalized dentition and GI system) compete for many of the same food resources that we can eat directly (things like nuts and tubers or even insects).

It has been suggested that this is the reason (along with potential for bacterial contamination) that the religions of the Levant (marginal environment with low productivity potential) have a taboo on pork.

[boozehound]

personally, I think all people who eat meat should have to kill and butcher an animal at least once. and no, fish dont count.

I have raised and butchered my own hogs, ducks and chicken as well as wild hog and deer.

i remember we were watching a mexican kill a hog and butcher it and he stabbed it right in the side and the pig was squealing its ass off. I wasnt right since that day.

[Poodle]

everyone reading this thread should try kalbi once imo. just look up a korean restaurant in your yellowbook, call them make sure they have sit down grilling on the table style kalbi, then head over with your girl/family and try it. guarantee you'll be hooked if you like steaks/bbq type food. not to mention you get a table full of side dishes with it, some that you might like, but i don't blame you not messing with half of it.

[rufuspaul]

As to the OP, I like the "peasant" style of most European foods (French, German, Italian, Scandinavian). Using fresh, preferably local ingredients in a simple yet flavorful way will always trump the fancy ass stuff, although there's room for that too.

Sushi/sashimi is a close second.

[Dasher]

Things like crawfish should not count, but I have killed and eaten them too. I have trapped and sold rabbits as well. My dream hunts are alligator and dolphin. I have eaten gator, and it is delicious. I want to roll up on a pod of dolphins and rain down delicious death pon dem.

I'm going to pull for the dark horse here... Korean food is the best. it's unlike anything you've ever had, ever. Flavors you hadn't even thought possible.

If I have to go for a mainstream pick, definitely Italian.

[RainierBeachPoet]

What ethnic group's got the best food?

if complexity of tastes and wide variety of foods are the gauge:

french and chinese

hands down

Vaca frita. Just a thinly sliced skirt steak that's fried and topped with lemon and savory onions. Same type of steak that's used in many cuban sandwiches like the media noche

True. only visited Rome, florence and Venice and tried the usual stuff cos im too much into it and could eat it everyday. special mention to tiramisu and home-made ice creams.

[Younggrease]

#1: Soul Food: Most people that arent black or from the south have never really had good soul food. Soul food is the kind you really cant get from a restaurant because it takes too much time to make it correctly. But there is no beating a great sweet potatoe pie, fried chicken, cracklin corn bread, sweat potatoes, mac and cheese with wither pinto chips or meringue on the top...

#2: Spanish/Portuguese Food: I lump these together because I frequent the Ironbound of Newark and confuse what restuarant is what...You cant go wrong with Sangria, Paella, Seafood etc...then if your up for a challenge there is always rodizo lol

So true. But what makes that food great, imo, is that they have been involved with the "slow food" and "local sustainable" model for centuries. Fresh, local ingredients + creative, cultural methods = great food.

[andgar923]

Of course the best is Mexican, but here are my other favs:

Indian.... very close to Mexican food. Full of strong flavors and spices.
Thai.... the way they cook and prepare the food is tastier than other Asian food imo, and Thai Iced Tea is great!
Somali..... fell in love with it at first bite.
Korean is also good, although not as good as Thai.
Cuban food is okay, not great. I've had restaurant and homemade, and it was good, but I wasn't craving for more.

[Kobe8]

Filipino Food Motha F*cka!

[Stinky Dog]

Depends on what you're looking for...

If I'm starving and trying to prove out I'll get Mexican. Nothing like crispy, fried, deliciousness. Burritos, chalupas, soft shell tortilla tacos, rice and beans, etc. So good but also very help and likely to cause food coma.

If I'm trying to eat something substantial but also won't kill me I'll do thai (which also happens to be my favorite). Curry dishes ranging from sweet to spicy, lots of wet noodles, very light even when fried, tons of veggies.

Korean food is similar and loaded with a wide array of stir fries and delicious soups.

American chinese food is good (on the east coast) and very greasy. Great hangover food.

I really like eating Middle Eastern food when I'm eating light or pre or post work out. A falafel sandwich or chicken schwarma is very easy to digest and obviously delicious. Hummus is a great snack.

Jews make great food, From their deli cuts to brisket and kugel, can't really go wrong.

Italian and french are both delicious but not easy to find the same quality in the states as you do in Europe. Both very rich and creamy I typically don't digest this food well as much as I enjoy eating it.

Been eating a lot of empinadas lately (pretty sure they are native to south america). Quite delicious and simple. Surprised they aren't more popular in the states.

[Go Getter]

Cali Mexi food > Tex-Mex

(I was raised in Texas.)

I suppose i'm going to have to get on down to Cali if Tex-Mex was challenged.
