The way yall act like Soul Food isn’t up there with Chinese, Italian or Mexican food exposes you

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Cajun food ain't soul food, soul food is. Know why?

Cajun food is not creole food. I consider creole food soul food. Could be wrong…. @King_Kamala61

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Is gumbo soul food?

Nope. Creole. Just like Jamaican isn't soul food.

Yes, it is. If somebody asks for "soul food", they could get anything from bbq from different states, ie, totally different styles of bbq to "rice," which could be any one of our several varieties of rice; smothered chicken is different regionally, as are greens, etc.

Umbrella. Many states/ regions.

Barbecue?

I prefer soul food but it's difficult to find soul food you can eat quickly. We got a couple of spots here that does Soul Rolls and stuff but they're few and far between.

On a Sunday, I'm down for some itis, but Mon - Sat I'm moving around from sun up to sundown. So I'll grab a wrap, taco, banh mi, po-boy, chipotle bowl, etc.

Cajun food is lowland back woods food for WHITE FOLKS. They have Boudin, tasso, and white pepper as their base. They also eat a lot of water fowl too.

Blackening is LOUISIANA BBQ style but it shared by both ethnic groups.

Everything you know about Louisiana food that is GOOD is Creole lol

But a Boudin po boy is off the chain

Ay Bay Bay help me with this. I ain't from NO directly only by lineage tho @Sbp help me pleighboi

 

[King_Kamala61]

Not gonna lie. Been wanting to go down to Louisiana to try the real crayfish, gumbo, po boy sandwich, catfish and that Louisiana fried chicken. That Cajun food that Popeyes emulates but its not the REAL thing. The culture with the voodoo, second line and the jazz but that food though.

I went to NO as a grown adult and realized I was eating that shyt all my life in Port City

Only thing Shreveport ain't got is Po Boys, beignets and Pralines. We got everything esp dirty rice. We some dirty rice eating muthafukkas

I didn't say Cajun food was.
Creole food is under the umbrella of soul food.
Cajun food is close to Creole 'cause of the region, but Cajun is not soul food. Creole is.
Popeyes is Cajun-Creole for a reason, 'cause the distinction is made by who makes the food in the region.

Nope. Creole. Just like Jamaican isn't soul food.

This FBADOS business, respectfully, we don't need to bring Jamaica into this. But...

Al Copeland, a white man, is the founder of Popeyes. Lemme throw the gauntlet down when I say Popeyes don't represent FBADOS soul food - matter of fact, it's Cajun-Creole if you tryna split hairs. Cajun food ain't soul food, soul food is. Know why?


We ain't talkin' 'bout what Koreans do, respectfully, this FBADOS business.

Ofc. My point is, our food, FROM THE SOURCE, isn't on a world stage because we're so under-capitalized that random, shytty knock offs are able to blow up in ways that we, the source, cannot.

Over seasoned, salted and fried.

Still very tasty, but not as refined as some European or Asian cuisine.

That is the main difference, I’d put take away Chinese food up against soul food, but when you start going to actual Chinese or HK restaurants in their respective countries, it’s a wrap.

I’d personally put Japanese grub over them all; both the sloppy and refined stuff. Also Italian refined food in Italy is baby GOAT tier. Made me do the in real life.

Plus Greek, Turkish, Lebanese, Moroccan food…smh. Mans hungry now.

This gump is in London eating beans and blood for breakfast

Barbecue?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbecue_sauce

Most American barbecue sauces can trace their roots to a sauce common in the eastern regions of North Carolina and South Carolina.[3] The simplest and the earliest, it was popularized by enslaved Africans who also advanced the development of American barbecue, and originally was made with vinegar, ground black pepper, and hot chili pepper flakes. It is used as a "mopping" sauce to baste the meat while it is cooking and as a dipping sauce when it is served. "Thin, spicy, and vinegar based," it penetrates the meat and cuts the fats in the mouth, with a noticeably tarter flavor than most other barbecue sauces.[7]



Pitmasters: The Black Southern Americans Who Invented Barbecue As We Know It

Barbecue is, first and foremost, a deeply African American food. I use the phrase “African American” (rather than just “African”, “American”, or “Black”) in order to emphasize the complex origins of this cuisine. Barbecue took its first breath in the early 1500s, when enslaved Africans found inspiration in the local Native American cuisine. As Africans sought to preserve their autonomy in the face of extreme persecution, they developed a food culture unlike any other. Because of this, barbecue is intensely political; it becomes an invaluable tool for tracing the struggles of Black Americans throughout history.

Like so many aspects of American culture — jazz, “street style” and common slang — barbecue’s African roots are often erased while white Americans receive the credit. The Huffington Post points out that of the thirty-six Barbecue Hall of Fame inductees, only five of them are Black. Additionally, the “Epic Barbecue Tour of Texas” by Eater fails to include even one Black-owned barbecue joint on its list. So blinded are these critics by eurocentric attitudes that they fail to recognize the original inventors of barbecue in their reviews.

Asian food is not better than Soul Food. Hell New Orleans has their own version of Yakamein.

Da Boot can solo a food war by itself.

But that's not what he was saying. He was saying that it's crazy that we're comparing the various cuisines of a single ethnic group (us) to those of the entire Asian continent.

That just go to show how dope we collectively are.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Nobody thinks of Creole as soul food outside of Louisiana.

You serious? It’s definitely marketed as a Louisiana thing, but I am damn near certain Creole culture more than likely jumped off with French/Spanish owned slaves in Mobile, Alabama…. It’s why I state that creole food = soul food…

Alabama nikkas love some crappy/bream/whiting….

 

[HarlemHottie]

I prefer eating steaks and pretty much anything that comes from the ocean, it doesn’t make me any more or less weird than you for your weird azz hot take here.

You realize that we have several seafood based foodways... right?

Oh! My reading comprehension is dragging as of late.

Hell yes I agree that sentiment. My bad breh.

Boys don't realize this...but every major slave state sat on water

Soul food is some of the best food ever. They gave us the scraps. The veggies they ain’t want. The parts of the hog that they didn’t want. And look what we did with it.
