-Grits suck
-Biscuits and gravy suck
-Fried chicken is way over played
-Watermelon is named so because it tastes like water
-BBQ with any type of "sauce" where sugar and tomato paste I'd the main ingredient is fucking heresy.
-Brisket is a shit cut of meat
-who the fuck eats collard greens besides the poor?
-pigs feet? Did I just time travel to 1750?
-"salsbury" or "country-friend" should be renamed to "I puked on your plate but it was a meaty puke so it's okay".
-Grits have half the fiber of oatmeal for about 30 less calories per serving. They're relatively healthy though and great for those on a gluten free diet. Best of all, if you've ever had shrimp & grits before, they really help give the dish substance.
-Biscuits and gravy can be good or bad. It depends on the quality of the biscuits and the kind of gravy.
-Fried chicken can be overplayed, but there's a difference between restaurant and home cooked. (cast iron and Crisco makes a difference...and it's not something I would eat frequently)
-Watermelon can be sweet if you don't buy it in a supermarket that picked it before it was ready.
-Pork BBQ is about taking a cut of meat like a shoulder (boston butt) or picnic roast and cooking it to 175-185 degrees internally over hours of time. The goal is to melt the solid fat into gelatin and circulate through the meat in the form of juices that make it more tender. You typically have pulled pork or sliced pork and if seasoned and smoked properly, the sauce is only a garnish. The last time I threw a bbq party, I finished smoking my roasts at 1pm and had lunch....smoked pork on flour tortillas with avocado slices and cilantro. 5 hours later, I pulled those roasts from the cooler I stored them in (to keep them hot)...I pulled the pork and served it with bbq sauce.
-Brisket...yeah...it is a bad cut, but same as the pork...if cooked properly, it becomes tender and very good.
-Collard greens are high in fiber, iron, and when seasoned properly are just as nutricious as other greens. Maybe you should be asking "who eats vegetables?" because it can be lumped in with Kale, Spinach, Mustard Greens, Turnip Greens, etc... The only thing I have against collards is the stalk and the time it takes to cook them tender.
-Pigs feet. Umm...yeah, there are a lot of foods I don't eat, but every culture has them.
-Salsbury and Country Fried Steak is a way to take hamburger or cube steak and make them more palatable. Cube steak takes a lot of cooking to make it tender....cooking it in watery gravy keeps it from burning when cooked at a simmer. Once the sauce thickens, the meat is usually fork tender. Salsbury steak, to me, isn't too far from the lambish meat they put in Gyros....in most cases, it's like a meat loaf with a onion soup or onion powder to season it. Depending on where you get it makes a difference on whether or not you're eating quality lean beef or a higher fat beef/pork/chicken mix.
