Damn why the f*** is it American women can't cook?????

Are you serious!!! Are you really insinuating that because she does cook and likes to cook she HAS to have a Caribbean background? I don't know about her, but I'm offended for her. I know my family doesn't have Caribbean background and I learned to cook at a young age. I have a friend from the Caribbean who can't cook to save her life, so what does the Caribbean thing have to do with it? I'm tired of people with a Caribbean background putting down Black Americans...

Maybe its because my grandmother worked a lot and I was the only girl in the house, but I've always like to help out in the kitchen. But I have friends who had parents who came home every night and cooked for them, and they aren't the best cooks...

Good so I guess you can answer the second part of that two-part question... :rolleyes:

...what dishes can you cook besides hotdogs and hamburgers?
 
I can make plenty of things, more than can be listed here, some recent dishes include, tilapia in a bag, home made chicken and shrimp stir fry, chicken Parmesan and alfredo (home made sauce). A homemade bar-b-que sauce me and my friends refer to as "crack sauce". Of course standard "soul food" items my grandmother would be ashamed if I didn't know how to make, potato salad, macaroni salad, macaroni and cheese, black eyed peas and smoked turkey wings. I love to whip up an omelet for breakfast sometimes before work. I loved to cook, I recently received the G. Garvin cookbook as a gift and look forward to trying new recipes from his book and creating new ones of my own...

Well there are always exceptions to every rule...consider yourself lucky... :lol:
 
Ahem...my two cents:

1st a disclaimer: I love my Black sisters with a passion uncontested!

Now that I got that out the way:

SPANISH women...COOK!!!
Period!
End of story!
Puerto Rican!
Dominican!
Columbian!
Panamaian!

All of dem!!!

Cook for their men! Go to work! Suck you off! Take care of home! And still find the time to look so fucking good!!!

I am gonna catch hell for saying this: But alot sisters are busy trying to catch cats that spend money, instead of trying to catch cats that they can build a family with! Alot of sisters think that showing ass and tits and having attitudes is the way to get at cats, but all it is, is a way to get at simps. Real men do not fuck with shit like dat!
So if u are in the NYC...like me...U go to the Spanish sisters and see what's in da pot, because trust me, they got something in there.
Do not ignore our sisters, but if the pot is empty, then move on!
We talked about this before...Any old chick can please a man, but a REAL WOMAN knows how to take care of a man and the Spanish sisters seem to have that part down pat!
Told ya before: my ex's mom, DOMINICAN, gave me the gas face for cooking in her kitchen!!!
And wanted to slap the shit outta her daughter for letting me cook in HER kitchen!!!

All I am saying: Check the Spanish
.
 
Why aren't the ladies at you're job and exception? I meet plenty of people like me every day, I thought we were the norm and the ladies at your job to be the misfits?

Basically. Like I said, I know more women that can cook as opposed to those who can't. And INVICTUS3RD, not all Spanish women can cook. One of my friends is Spanish, and shorty can't scramble eggs, no lie. Neither can her sister or her cousin.
 
Choices shape your life.

Im sitting here eating eggs and salmon cakes my wife made right now:yes:
This thread will only turn into another woman bashing thread.:smh:

Then again it was from jump.:yes:



:lol:
My parents are from Haiti. I was taught to cook at 5. And I cook everything, from "hotdogs and hamburgers" to vegetable lasagna to my native dishes to soup and stews to pollo ala brasa. I even cook fish, and I hate eating fish.


I heard that...(creepy silence)......you know you have a beautiful asshole don't you?

Do you have a Caribbean background?

If not (and you are from a long line of Americans), what dishes can you cook besides hotdogs and hamburgers?

waaaaait a minute...

first of all you dont have to be of some kind of background to be able to throw down

american food does not consist of hotdogs and hamburgers...

im straight 100% american black woman and i get down with american food...im talking about
smothered chicken (or just plain fried)
mac and cheese
greens and cabbage
cornbread and cornbread dressing
canied yams
chicken fried steak
mashed potados
shrimp edtufee (sp)
dirty rice
...all homemade just to name a few

and i go fed on desserts too..
red velvet cake
cream cheese poundcake
7up cake
...all homemade just to name a few

so lets not get it twisted...females dont have to be somewhere to be able to get down in the kitchen


now...

lemme say this too...alot of men want me to do women stuff (cook, clean nurture)...and these same men dont wanna be a man (provide, be a leader)...if men expect women to do both...somethings gotta give...so some of yall dont need to get mad that women arent cooking...start doing man shit...then maybe u can find a woman who will do women shit (this wasnt directed to anyone in particular...just some observations ive had)

Hit the nail on the head girl. If you want your woman to be a woman, start acting like a man. You get what you put out.

greens and cabbage isnt healthy when u put hamhock or bacon in it either...

thats how black people eat...expecially in the south
 
thats not how black people i know eat :hmm:

i dunno what to tell u

food like that is the core of black community...that food is tradional going back to slave times

like trina said, "im thick off that cornbread and the cabbage"

i know northern black people eat it...but its huge in the south...even white people eat it

The food that is the core of the Black community I know is:
steamed fish and fungi(cornmeal)
stew peas
ital stew
saltfish
kale(no meat or grease)
all types of soups; fish, pea, pumpkin, etc some make flour dumplings but many make plantain or cassava dumplings instead
ground food(yam, dasheen, cassava, edo, etc)
curry goat
bake or stew chicken
rice and peas
breadfruit
calalloo

the food you described is the reason why most americans are fat and diseased :smh:

most of that stuff either ive never ate before...or never heard of

sounds moreso like some african/island shit

look at any movie/tv show where a whole bunch fo black people are eating (like soul food)...more than likely u are gonna see the stuff i mentioned

but hey what do i know...ive only been born and raised here

but your right...thats why alot of black people have highblood pressure and diabetes cause of our diet...not to mention our diet is the reason why alot of us are overweight

Damn I can cook your kind of food too if I want to but in a healthy way. I make bangin collard greens with no meat whatsoever in them. Why candy sweet potatoes when they so sweet already? Grill, bake or steam instead of fry. Use whole grain flour instead of white. Brown rice instead of white.

Yeah it is some island "shit" :hmm: Our diet is much more closely connected to our original African diet. The Black american diet comes from the garbage the white man let you eat mixed with part of the diseased european way of eating. All those crackas in the south obese and en route to heart attacks and strokes too.

Are you aware that most Black people are lactose intolerant and don't even know it? STOP EATING THE FOOD THE WHITE MAN FORCED ON YOU!!!!
 
Actually I cook everything from fried chicken to shrimp stir fry to sauteed salmon with a teryaki sauce glaze to mac n cheese to baked ziti to stuffed chicken to garlic mashed potatoes from scratch. I cook it all. And most of my friends cook as well.

So like I said, this black american woman cooks. If you're ever in the area I'll fix you a plate!

Its not always what you eat but how much of it you eat. The portion sizes are out of control.

yea some of our food is the white man scraps

what i love about my ancestors is they knew how to make lemonaid out of lemons

all i know is the food out here will make u have an orgasim...its that damn good

is it good to eat everyday?...prolly not...but i know niggas like it...so if they like it i love it

as far as island cooking...i can honestly care less its closer to african cooking...cajun cooking is the same way...very close to african cooking...it doesnt make me like it even more or less

im the same way...

where i come from the stuff i meantioned is the stuff you are supposed to know how to cook

but i love watching the food network...so ill try anything...asian..italian...french...mexican...and so on

i even make up my own dishes (like blackened chicken in a roasted garlic cream sauce with veggies)

i can make some cinamon rolls that taste just like cinnabon cinnamon rolls that are OUT OF THIS WORLD
 
I saw a book on Africa and the shit that they cooked was on a damn Shovel, a DAMN shovel. dude was cooking something on a Shovel. that was some weird sh*t
 
I heard that...(creepy silence)......you know you have a beautiful asshole don't you?

Where did these quotes come from...I did not see them earlier in the thread...and talking about one aspect of how I view American women does not count as bashing/hating...are people that weak nowadays that they can not indulge in a conversation without resorting to crybaby antics...everything is "hating" or "bashing"...cut that bullshit out...
 
Why aren't the ladies at you're job and exception? I meet plenty of people like me every day, I thought we were the norm and the ladies at your job to be the misfits?

I don't know I just find it strange that I am at a job where this seems to be the "norm" for the women there...
