OBSESSED with the fact that the infamous “gross American food” poll is fully just poor people food that people still make/buy either because it was passed through their family or because they’re still poor. Allow me to elaborate. Here’s the poll if you’ve managed to avoid the discourse:

American Chocolate tastes different because of two factors: the majority of our cacao comes from South America unlike Europe which generally imports from Africa (moving product farther costs more money). Also, American chocolate is only required to have 10% cacao as opposed to Europe’s 20% (using less cacao and supplementing with readily available sweeteners like corn syrup costs less money). In fact, the very first American Chocolate company (Baker Chocolate Company) was so aware of how much less wealthy the early US was than Europe’s established market for chocolate, that their bars came with a money back guarantee for anyone who was disappointed with the sweets. The current financial situation in the US is well known to the rest of the world- of course we still make and eat cheap chocolate, the bones of our country are exploitation. Also, the dairy content is lower in American chocolates which makes them more shelf stable. Shelf stable foods are important for communities living paycheck to paycheck who have money for a chocolate bar right now but won’t for their kid’s birthday in a week.

Bologna feels self explanatory to me. It’s made of literal scraps from the meat production industry that are then turned into a “sausage” and cured to give the product more longevity. I like fried bologna because it was cheaper for my dad’s parents when he was a kid. My dad likes bologna for the same reason.

Watergate Salad is made of shelf stable ingredients. Many desserts require eggs or dairy that can be expensive and expire quickly. Those desserts then get stale if they aren’t eaten immediately. Canned fruits, pistachio pudding mix, and cool whip (which is hydrogenated oil and very little dairy) will all keep for a while. You can buy them in bulk and put them in your cabinets or freezer until you want to use them and then the salad itself will keep in the fridge. See again the importance of shelf stable foods to impoverished communities.

Twinkies are cheap and go stale slowly. See again the importance of shelf stable foods in impoverished communities.

Grits, Boiled Peanuts, and Biscuits and Gravy are all southern comfort food staples. I was born and raised in north Georgia, it’s very important to me to note that almost all southern food was co-opted from freed slaves by poor rural white folk in the south. Plain grits can be deeply unappetizing but they are cheap and self stable. You can add butter and salt or even seasoned meat and veggies. Grits are rarely a whole meal all to themselves and when they are you add some cheese or salt at the very least. George Washington Carver (a black man many people outside of Georgia should acquaint themselves with at least a little better) turned peanuts into a massive cash crop in Georgia because they are nitrogen fixing! They replace the nitrogen other cash crops (like cotton and tobacco) take out of the soil. In order for your fields to stay viable, you have to plant something like this every once in a while, so most farmers had peanuts themselves or had a neighbor growing peanuts. Boiling them is a quick, easy way to get salt on the nuts themselves. The water soaks through the shells and seasons and softens the nuts. Water is free and peanuts will keep until the fats start to go south, no wonder they picked up popularity among rural folk and travelers alike. Biscuits and gravy are another scrap food. A good sausage gravy is made of leftover sausage and southern biscuits are a savory, buttery carb that is filling and gives you energy you need somewhere like a farm. The negative stereotypes of the south are pervasive and often rooted in racism. Find someone whose grandma has been making these foods her whole life before you form an opinion.

Meatloaf is seasoned more often than not. Like. Sorry you ate meatloaf that wasn’t salted. Anyway, meatloaf is another scrap food! Meat scraps are ground up and then formed into a loaf. Most people put tomato sauce or ketchup on it. Canned tomato products are, you guessed it, shelf stable, and can also be canned at home fairly safely.

The United States at large is not ignorant of the world around it. We are aware that other foods exist. Either we are choosing to eat these or our financial situations are backing us into corners. This is all without even touching upon the prevalence of food deserts in low-income, minority communities in the US. If you’re aware of all this and you really just want to critique the wealth disparity in the US, punch up. Go after the guys with money, not the food that the rest of us find joy in making out of the scraps. Also, making fun of the British is always punching up. Maybe if you had caused fewer wealth disparities that directly impacted the food eaten in other countries, we would be nicer about yours.

share the biscuits and gravy recipes please!

This ask is from a few days ago but I was in Portland at the time lol so! Please keep in mind that these recipes are tweaked to my own preference and you may need to tweak them to yours.

Sausage gravy:

1 lb. Jimmy Dean ground sausage (I use pork), cook in medium saucepan or deep frypan, probably on about medium heat. 1/4 cup flour, sprinkle onto sausage, mix thoroughly, and cook for a couple minutes, making sure it doesn't stick too badly to the bottom of your pan (I like to use a wide wooden spoon). 2 1/2 cups whole milk, add to the meat-flour mixture and mix well, scraping bottom of pan again as needed. Bring to and keep at simmer and let reduce to preferred thickness, mostly keeping covered but uncovering every couple of minutes to stir well. Salt and pepper (and any other seasoning) to taste, I don't find it necessary to use anything else because I like the seasoning already in the sauage, but all that milk needs quite a bit of salt at the very least to balance it out. I tend to add lots after I add the milk and then taste when it's thickened to see if it needs altering. I'd say this amount feeds like 3-4 people?

Buttermilk biscuits (note: recipe is all by weight because it's modified from a professional kitchen where I work):

Freeze 4 oz unsalted butter. Mix 12 oz flour, 1 oz sugar, 0.75 oz baking powder, and 0.375 oz salt in mixing bowl then sift everything twice to fully incorporate. Take frozen butter, grate it into the dry ingredients, and mix with hands, not kneeding or squishing, just getting it evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Add 8 oz buttermilk to everything and bring it together gently with your hands (I recommend using disposable gloves but then I work in a kitchen lol), again try not to kneed it too much while getting it fully incorporated because the more you work a flour dough, the more the gluten develops, and the tougher the texture becomes when it's cooked. When it's fully mixed, move it all onto a flat floured surface like a cutting board or counter and press it all out to about a half-inch thickness. Portion as you like from there and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-12 minutes, maybe rotating the tray after about 7 minutes so all the biscuits cook evenly. Should make about 8-10 biscuits depending on how you shape them.

Enjoy?

I wonder how many Southerners on tumblr made biscuits and gravy this weekend? Like even the ones who weren’t already planning on it? Because of that garbage English poll shitting on our food?

I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind so I tried to make lemons out of lemonade.

This morning I made my quick and dirty version of biscuits and gravy while listening to a Nina Simone record. She was my favorite Southerner and my favorite musical artist.

It was goddamned delicious and the soundtrack was perfect.

Happy Sunday, Southerners of tumblr. And congratulations on our rich culture and delicious comfort food.

Breakfast while visiting pals at Ruthie's All Day in Arlington, VA. My companions and I got two orders of biscuits and gravy with fried eggs, apple donuts with rasberry jam, briskket hash, a pimento scramble sanwich with fruit, apple pie pancakes, and a black bean benedict.

Result: Victory!

There it is! WOE.BEGONE Biscuits & Gravy*

I'm European so I don't know how southern food is supposed to taste like but this recipe was really good. I'll probably tweak it next time (I forgot to season the sausage lol) but would absolutely make again.

Also it's very filling and heavy. That time Mikey mentioned he ate two portions with Edgar and Ryan sounds trying, this is definitely not a light meal.

Next up: Felix's biscuits and gravy because my name is also Felix and I have to try it.
