Where you from man?

Swine and pork

 

[Taadow]

Nope...because white folks eat 'em.

I don't see oxtails and neckbones ever going extinct. I use smoked turkey necks and chicken liver to add flavor to greens and other dishes.

Ain't nothing wrong with okra or yams either.

What about in the black community? Do you see young black folks, by and large, on some ... and riding that sushi, mainstream, Chipotle wave and throwing classic southern/country/soul food to the bushes?

It's not a race thing - it's a regional thing. I had a convo just yesterday at work with a couple young broads (one black, one white)
about such cuisine.

I still like most of that stuff, except for the pork-based items.

I'm not sayin' it is or isn't, but you said "white people still eat it" ... so I just piggybacked off that and asked if you think younger blacks will disavow these foods? Or have you already heard them throwing it in the bushes?


It's definitely regional and cultural, tho.

...and let's be clear... we're talking about southern, rural whites.

The only way I can see these going away is if more people don't cook.

Chitlins is the worst Leave your drapes smelling like chitlins.

Gotta clean 'em properly... but there's a way to greatly minimize the smell.
