            so, our business model failed when the german guy died and stopped sneezing into the bread. he had some unique gross weird boogers.

            Now, I have stolen this Federation starship to seek out new yeast!

          Oh that’s just one example. Pass denied.

          edit: feel free to point out weird food from here, I probably will agree.

            You want the really weird I can give you that to, down here we eat nutria. Basically water rats. I have no problem insulting our cuisine, but as a green ball once said " if you are going to insult me do it properly"

                Because tourists from the Midwest can’t pronounce etouffee

                  Tourists cannot pronounce most of the street names here and we’re fine with it. Make tourists learn new vocabulary, or at least believe they’re visiting a different country or something. If you call it cheesecake, expect them to think of it as cheesecake.

      I’m from Louisiana/Texas with family in the Midwest. When we’d visit for the holidays, it was some disgusting shit. Green, opaque jello molds with random foods suspended in it, pickles and cream cheese on toothpicks, and random “salads” like the ones above. My mom (from the south) made macaroni and cheese casserole one year up there and everyone was floored

        Were the pickles with cream cheese wrapped in ham or some other deli meat? Because those are delicious.

          I’m not going to lie, yes they are, but they’re not Thanksgiving food, dammit!

      I love Cajun food, but all of the dishes pretty much taste the same with different textures. Let’s not pretend like Louisiana is the mecca of cooking here.

        I don’t mean to but compared to the image above, food in Louisiana looks like a Gordon Ramsey dish

          Was “All of you” not directed at “all of us”, then, and instead directed only at the people making the abomination casseroles instead?

          You should be more specific in your language next time.
