All you’re doing is comparing southern style mac n cheese vs basic everyday fast mac n cheese. It’s not even a race thing…
I cannot speak to macaroni pie directly, but you’d be surprised by how many things considered Southern are straight out of Africa for reasons that should be obvious.
Pretty much every culture that has some form of cheese and processed grain has mixed them together and bake it apparently lol. I wanna try and make pastitsio now
Why are we comparing two unrelated holidays like this
You realize that you’re talking about southern food right? As in not exclusively black?
Southern food is great because Southern white people have a different set of culinary influences than northern white people. I don’t know what that influence might be, but it must’ve been huge.
My wife is white southern and is passionate about black culture Mac n cheese
Liar liar pants on fire. This is not a, “black culture mac n cheese”. This is straight up southern style mac n’ cheese.
Where do you think the southern slave owners got their culinary influences from?
I don’t think the point of the meme is that Mac n cheese belongs to black people. It’s that GOOD Mac n cheese belongs to black people. Maybe you didn’t notice, but the Mac n cheese on the left looks how it should while the one on the right looks like watery stoffers. If you didn’t notice, I’d say the meme is pretty accurate.
I get that, but the Mac n cheese on the left is made by people in the south, not just black people. In fact a lot of things labeled as “black” are actually just southern. Its just the south has better food than the north. White people are eating it too.
Edit: as a European who likes spicy food, anything you’re likely to get north of the Mason Dixon line is basically inedible slopp. Go eat a bowl of seafood gumbo and tell me I’m wrong. Go on, I’ll wait. And while you’re down there, bring me some southern maid donuts.
A lot of southern things were co-opted from blacks. It’s called soul food for a reason.
So “homemade” vs “frozen?” Homemade mac and cheese is a black thing, and white people didn’t eat it before freezers were invented? TIL.
Damn Juneteenf sucks
I don’t get Juneteenth but I didn’t have to, it doesn’t affect me. Although personally I think the name is weird - it’s definitely grammatically incorrect. But whatever, y’all have fun. I like Mac’n’cheese though.
It’s just the “Nine” in nineteenth (a word that only has long vowels) replaced with June. June 19th turned into a single word. It specifically celebrates the day slavery was abolished in Texas.
My only gripe is I can never remember the number, and there are several teenths. I’m bad with dates. July 4th is idiot proof.
Yeah, One of the vendors I work with emailed me to let me know they’d be off that day and I had to look it up. It would have been the same if it was called abolition day or something like that but there’s something a little annoying about the fact that they made it halfway with putting the date in the name.
