Would you prefer we call it soul food?

 

[Jackalope]

Maybe we can call it that because the North won and we get to name the things?

Define "won". . The divisional state of the union today isnt far off from where it was in 1860.

I'd say it's less regional than in 1860, but for sure divided.

And by won, I mean the Confederate States of America no longer exists. Soooo, I think that's pretty definitive.

Perhaps a visual will assist.

The okra makes sense. That ain't yankee food. LOL

All imitation. I can assure you the green beans eaten in SE Kentucky taste better if cooked in Kentucky. Bring them to Ohio. Cooked by an Ohioan or Kentuckian transplanted to Ohio for decades. . .they don't taste as good as if they were eaten down there.

Blue plate is the only mayonnaise down here. The rest is pure shit!

Also Barq’s root beer is the shiznat.

We also eat red beans and not kidney beans.

I believe that's because if one is removed from the immersion of a particular cuisine they begin to assimilate to local flavors. The restaurants aren't the same either so the inspiration is not there. Even items available in grocery stores aren't the same or as fresh like shrimp, crawfish, catfish filets, crab, oysters, greens like collard, mustard, turnip etc. But that's a different thing than mass produced boxed food claiming to be "southern style" "Southern spiced" or "southern style"

All I know is....... y'all can have your boiled peanuts

Anything “southern” is better, we all know that.

That's what the marketing is implying but they're doing it with shit mass produced boxed food which has zero asociationnto anything "southern" what ever the help that is supposed to be.

Had some in South Carolina a buddy of mine bought. He said they tasted great and reminded him of his younger days when he grew up there.

This northern boy did NOT care for them lmao. Maybe I'll have to try them again from a different place as I'm sure each place prepares them differently.

Yeah it just depends. Like anything there are good and bad places. The gas station crockpot usually isn't the best place to get them. Lol.

And that's where he picked them up from lol.

That was back in 2014 and I know you had yours after that trip. That's why I didn't eat any lol.

Speaking of that when's the next time you're heading north? Are you gonna make the campout? I'd pay for them if you're willing to drag a big ole sack of mudbugs along.
