No smoke- smoke free zone.
and I just made up that gator meat comment of the top of my head, yall are really out here eating alligator meat tho??
increible .Do yall..

I never had alligator until I went to the N.O. for the first time about 5 years ago. My wife kept trying to talk me into trying it. I was like "no ma'am I'm good." I finally tried it (fried and breaded) with some sort of sauce. It was pretty good. I havent had it since

Chess pie is some good ass pie....sweet though. Definitely don't wanna see how much sugar goes into it. Eat it like once a year at Thanksgiving lol.

Gator isn't much different from chicken...you can get that at a lot of Cajun/Creole style restaurants. Little hot sauce and you're set.

Squirrel stew is supposed to be good...at least that's what my uncles said. They grew up in the woods and would practice shooting squirrels to work on their aim. I would never eat squirrels in today's world because they probably have all kinds of diseases and shyt.

My pop got me a BB gun when I was like 10 or 11, and outside of cans, I’d shoot things like little lizards and frogs. My daddy saw this and was like you know if you kill an animal you gotta eat it. Well, I wasn’t thinking and shot a bird, found that little thing and asked my pop to help me skin it so we could cook it. Man, he told me to throw that thing in the trash so fast, and then told me to stop shooting at little animals lol.

My folks country also. When I was in school, I used to hit up my grandparents house on Monday’s and Tuesday’s. Monday’s they eat fish with the bones in them, and on Tuesday’s my grandpa would cook a thing of pig feet and Lima beans. I loved that stuff

12 but I'ma claim 11 because I was always forced to eat chitterlings as a kid

And poke is southern? First time I even heard of it was from the Asians on the west coast. Always thought it was deconstructed sushi

Edit: Also can we call fried bologna southern? I know people in all regions who grew up on that. It was a poor thing to me.

My mom was not a good cook, wasn’t the stay home, prepare cooked meals type - neither was my father. Both busy with work or involved with community, all the time . My mom would pay the Jamaican lady down the block to cook, and our babysitter was Puerto Rican. So I never grew up with American food day to day- bc they were my influences. Then we had the Italian place around my way - but that’s about it. Thanksgiving and Christmas were the only times where I had southern inspired traditional food- Mac/cheese, greens, etc. as I got older, learned from them and taught myself how to cook the basics

Shiiiit you better go down south and have you some !

My parents were the same. They each always worked multiple jobs. Mostly we ate real "cooking-cooking" on the weekends or at my grandma/great grandma house. Looking at the things you mentioned (Jamaican, Puerto Rican, Italian) it would be dope if someone did one of these lists for the East Coast and the West Coast.

My ass is Yankeed out 2 with a possible 3

Edit: 4 but still

I dont know if that was on purpose. But it made think of spades.
