Chicken feet, I had that a couple times in soup I like it. lol
We have this foodstuff called ''Bakes'' its basically fried dough so nice! In Jamaica they call it ''Fried Dumplings''' everywhere else in the English-Caribbean call it Bakes, Jamaicans! I swear they have to call everything a different name lol
The further north in Europe you go, it is true the less spice is used.
If you pluck a prawn out of a cold fjord, its sweet, subtle flesh needs no seasoning because it is clean and pure, its true, delicate flavor is available.
In tropical and other warm locatons, food rots quite quickly in the hot sun and humid atmosphere. The waters the food drinks or grows in are soups of bacteria, and thus spices and long cooking are needed to cover the putrid, rotting smells and flavors.
OK, that was a bit eccessive, but it contains a kernal of truth. And for what its worth, I have a sophiticated enough palate to appreciate any cuisine from the most pure and 'bland' to the most hot, spicy, and complex. Just like bland food can be good or bad, so can 'flavorful' food.
Hmmm, you make a good point here. This is true in the US as well. Lousiana cooking as we know tends to be spicy as hell. A good chunk of it is plucked from the humid bayous. Minnesota and most northern areas tend to have more plain cook styles.
But Fried Chicken is tastey! Though I like Fried Chicken I prefer home made over KFC or some random Chicken hut. Also I swear the last time I had Fried Chicken was last year.
Its all to do with Culture rather than race, all of these stereotypes are cultural ones.
Black people can dance good? Well, African derived/influenced Music is up-beat and is suppose to be danced to, Parents will dance Children will copy and begin to learn how to sing etc. Even if you don't know how to dance chances are is that you like to bop your head to the rhythm. This is why I think a lot of African-derived music is popular around the world.
Black people love chicken? Not all Black groups but certainly Afro-Caribbean and African Americans I personally prefer Fried Fish (Chicken gets old).
Black people can run fast? Well, its been said that certain ethnic groups are better at doing certain physical activities than other groups...
As you know, I am an American black and some of these are true for me and others not and some conflict with one another. I love chicken. I am a black man who loves chicken. But I don't usually like to fry it. I prefer grilled then baked to fried. I love fish too and this is something Black Americans also love.
I can't dance to save my life which is very ironic because I write and produce dance music LOL
Running? Depends what's chasing me. I am probably the least athletic person, of any race that you will ever meet.

I still can't get my head around that stereotype... Who doesn't like chicken?

Good point. People may say that they don't like fish, don't like turkey, don't like beef or pork but it's exceedingly rare to hear someone say that they don't like chicken. Of course now that I've said that, someone in this thread probably will.
We call them dumplings in the US. Chicken and dumplings is popular in the American south.
OK, but do you fry them in oil so it gets all puffy?

Oh you like ''birds'' huh
Haha. I don't eat chicken and dumplings.
As far as how I live my chicken, well tonight, I am stir frying it and putting it in some Tortillas with home made salsa and making chicken soft tacos. The things I learn living in a mostly Mexican community 5 miles from the border.
