Is it racist for me to watch Cooking with the Neelys?
Love that show. I live in Alabama and several of my black colleages took me to one of the best soul food resturants in the area yesterday for my birthday. Menu: Fried catfish and chicken, collards, field peas, cornbread, etc.
This food thing is just ridiculous. What we whites call ‘country cookin’ is the same food as soul food down here. Hell, we all have heart disease, but I sure had a good time yesterday.
Like an old country fella told me once: “Southern cookin’ is the best in the world, but ‘hit’ll kill ya.”
