Italian and Mexican food are the two most overrated foods in the world.

Problem is most our people are c00ns and don't even know what real soul food is. They think it's the deep fried, over salted shyt when it's really rice, beans, vegetables and the previously less popular cuts of meats. Also the whole "Cajun" and "Southern" foods are just out foods stolen and repackaged as cac food just like those demons do with all our culture.

Nobody thinks of Creole as soul food outside of Louisiana.

Crayfish and shrimp is not soul food. Go to any soul food restaurant and they handing you a plate of yams, greens, Mac n cheese, cornbread, and fried chicken.

Creole food is soul food.

We are African. But I was careful not to put Jollof into the argument.

stop weird, where are they from? Since you dont like seasoned food

Lmao the American version of most foods taste better


Unless it’s a black country

American food is fukking garbage.

You can't convince me that Mexican and Chinese food ain't the same no matter where you're at.

 

[Mandarin Duck]

Meaning you can't tell me Mexican food from California is any better than Mexican food from Texas or and South Western state.

I feel the same way about Chinese food.

Well, taste-wise, soul food is up there with all those other cuisines, but it comes down to presentation.

I work in the culinary/food industry, and I've cooked a lot of soul food, but my plates are more appealing. The plate that OP posted, while I'm sure it tastes good, its presentation leaves a lot to be desired. It's the visuals; see Chinese, Italian, Mexican food, etc, tend to fancy up their presentations of certain recipes.

Not all, but many, soul food places tend to focus more on the flavor and not the visual aesthetic. African food is similar as well. The taste is there, but the visuals aren't.

All of the food countries I mentioned are “seasoned”.

Which goes to show your limited experience with other foods.

did you eat "Italian" food exclusively in tourist traps in Rome?

Creole food is soul food.

No matter the subject, you stay with a weird, often reductive, take.

I think jit kind of slow

Soul food is the cuisine pinnacle

Only a cac or tether would say otherwise

Presentation is 50% of the battle. True.
