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.

Goofy's Goobers

From Mickey's Revue

The History

In 1932, Mickey's Revue introduced an important character to the Disney mythos, Dippy Dawg, also known as Goofy.

The loveable anthromorphic canine is seen in the audience, sporting his iconic laugh while also munching on a bag of peanuts.

Goofy would go through several revisions as Disney refined the character from a one note joke into one of the most multifaceted characters in animation.

However, his love of peanuts would always remain. In fact, in the comics, Goofy gains superman like powers from radioactive peanuts that he eats in order to become his alter ego Super Goof.

The Food

Now whether these peanuts that he eats in the short are raw, roasted, or boiled is never stated on screen. However, since I'll be covering roasted peanuts later on for Dumbo, and since raw peanuts are not a recipe, and because as a southerner, I just simply prefer them; I'll be covering a classic boiled peanut recipe.

Ingredients

1 pound raw peanuts in the shell

1/4 cup kosher salt

4 cups water

Cookware

Large stockpot

Directions

Thoroughly rinse raw unshelled peanuts in water.

Put water, salt, seasoning, and peanuts in a large stockpot, and bring to a boil.

Cover and reduce the heat just enough to maintain a low boil. Boil for 2 to 3 hours or longer, until peanuts reach desired level of softness.

Drain and eat.

A couple of notes: The salt and water are estimates. You may need more. Use the measurements to start and taste as you go long. Add more as needed.

Secondly you can add other seasonings to change the flavor if you want. Salt is just the classic base. Feel free to experiment with things like garlic, onion, chilli, or Cajun seasoning to give a few ideas.

Finally, the stockpot will work just fine, but if you want to leave the peanuts cooking overnight I would recommend using a crockpot instead.

And there you have it, Goofy's Goobers. But we're not done yet with Mickey's Revue. Next we'll be talking about Goofy's much less popular rival Horace Horsecollar.

I learned today that if you buy boiled peanuts from a roadside produce stand in Georgia, they will give you way more than any single person can eat

#I have a million boiled peanuts now #or as my great uncle calls them ‘bawled peanuts’ #that’s how Deep South Georgians pronounce it #boiled peanuts #they kinda taste like the ocean. as in they’re wet and very salty
