No, you started the thread to probably incite a flame war between states. Also I have relatives in Georgia and my dad hunts with people from Tennesse. You compare southern cuisine with that of NYC. NYC's food is so diverse, tasty and good you can't even compare the two.
Enjoy eating your deep fried whatever. I'll enjoy some delicious Halal or Kebab.
...*sigh* what's so undignified about what people eat? some people eat overly spiced veggie slop piled on spongy bread with their fingers. eww i don't like ethiopian food, but who am I to judge people who do? ya like what ya like. it's not my fancy, but whutebber...lol nothing like closed-minded progressives. <--such an oxymoron, isn't it? i'm sorry, but when it comes to preferences, nothing annoys me more than self-righteous liberals. are they really better than the guy who tries to shove the bible down people's throats? NO. they come off just as ignorant. now, after reading all this talk of shrimp and grits, I'M HUNGRY!!! and how dare ANYBODY dis my girl PAULA DEEN.
Paula Deen's a disgrace to all humankind. Her food should be outlawed on the basis that eating it will kill you. All other reasonable cuisines including glorious Southern food such as shrimp and grits, she-crab soup and barbeque are welcomed by anyone with taste buds.
No food anywhere can compare to a New York style pizza, but that's my personal favorite.
As an ex New Yorker, I have to say NYC pizza isn't my favorite. Too thin. Chicago pizza kicks butt...the only decent thing to come from that town, IMO. Now, Buffalo chicken wings do beat anything else in the country
I love Southern food. It is delicious...but there is some truth to it. I mean really does it take much creativity to drown something in butter, roll it around in mega-fatty batter and deep fry it, then throw some more butter, bacon, or whatever extremely horrible fattening ingredient on top of it?
Food snobbery is like anything else...A fan/critic of Jazz derides 'hip-hop' in the same way. Good Jazz requires a real talent, any fool with gold teeth and good marketing can become a rapper.
Does that mean Southern food sucks, no...Does that mean all hip-hop sucks, no...But you would never put Jay-Z in the same category as John Coltrane, just like comparing Paula Deen to the high-end chefs in New York, Chicago, etc. would be a joke. It appeals to the lower-classes plain and simple.
In New York City, they eat boiled animal tongues. In the South we use our tongues for licking our fingers.
Southerners eat buttermilk biscuits and sip frosty glasses of sweet tea. New Yorkers nosh bagels and drink seltzer water.
New Yorkers eat fermented soy and tuna tartar – while folks in Tennessee eat fried catfish – with tarter sauce.
Oh shut! up! elitist twits. No one CARES what your snotty, arrogant ass thinks.
If they don't like the food, don't eat it. Others will enjoy it and continue to enjoy it for generations and don't need some dbag who is entirely too full of himself telling them what he thinks about that.
I really cannot stand snobs.
