      Florida is tricky, it really depends on which part of the state you are in. In South Florida, you would get Cuban pork, yuca, and Key lime and in the northern part it would be smoked meat (any meat, we don't care as long as it is smoked), mayo based slaw (unless we can get swamp cabbage) and Sweet Potato Pie. The rum is statewide though (although in South Florida it better be smuggled Cuban Rum, none of that Puerto Rico swill)

      Yes but at least the average person can identify all the animals those meats came from. I spent 5 years in Louisiana- not only will the dish be spicy, but there's likely to be some type of meat in there from an animal some Americans have never even heard of or wouldn'tknow if they saw one. The scary thing is that this describes several meats, not just one particular critter. Louisiana- where the food will be amazing but you never want to ask too many questions. Just grab another daiquiri and a second helping.

      "Not that spicy" may be a cliche in its own right by now but from my experience I've found it to be completely true, and no one of any expertise (chefs, scholars, etc.) seems to be of different opinion. You find this notion that these French Canadians somehow make mouth-searingly spicy food mostly from unfamiliar outsiders and in humor routines like this video. The idea that Louisiana (Cajun or not) food is super spicy is something for those who never eat anything even moderately spicy.
      I don't know what sort of condition it is that leaves the tough skin of the palms vulnerable to serious injury from a substance but the delicate mucous membranes of the mouth and throat are just A-OK when applied repeatedly there; but it can't be a very common one or one that's very revealing of the effect on normal human beings.

      It probably wrecked havoc on her mouth and digestive tract, but she just didn’t care. She liked the spicy crawfish.
      In any case, I just thought it was a funny juxtaposition. My mom is right, of course. I’ve eaten numerous home cooked Cajun meals, and they were rarely even mildly spicy (although there was almost always a bottle of Tabasco and/or Louisiana hot sauce available).

A lot of people here tend to get something from a restaurant, pop something into the microwave, or grab something from the frozen food section. People are super busy trying to make ends meet so we grab what we can and go instead of trying to learn how to cook for hours (myself included). And, with a few rare exceptions, all sorts of sit-down restaurants open for a few months or up to a year and then close down once the novelty wears off.

    • @thegardenofeatin5965
      @thegardenofeatin5965 Рік тому +48

      East Carolina barbecue ain't about the sauce, it's about the pig. The whole pig, snout to tail. It takes a long time to smoke the entire critter, sometimes up to 16 hours, so it is periodically based with a thin sauce that's pretty much some spices in vinegar, mostly to keep the skin from drying out. The idea is we're going through all the trouble of smoking a hog all day and night, we're going to focus on the pork. We can get you some chicken wings if what you really want to taste is yeehaw molasses ketchup.
      If you want a thicker, tangier sauce, head West to Lexington. Out that way they tend to smoke (relatively) smaller cuts like individual pork shoulders, usually brushed with a thicker, sweet and sour tomato-based sauce, and very likely there'll be a squeeze bottle of this sauce on the table. I would be suspicious of West Carolina barbecue if it arrived from the kitchen slathered in sauce; the pork should still be quite good on its own.

A good mix of Appalachians and Southerners did move to Oklahoma a long time ago, so that's why there are cultural similarities, just like in Texas.
