If it was a "fact" then you should have included some type of link. I lived in Texas for a dozen years and found BBQ's everywhere. Texans will tell you they have the best BBQ, bar none. Would this be a fact? All Texans are known for their bravado. Whoops, I just stereotyped Texans.

Many Southern people like barbecue, and many black people in America live in the south. I live in Boston, and black people here don't seem any more inclined than white people to eat ribs. (By the way, I'm Russian, which makes me pretty damn white, and I LOVE ribs).

The bigger issue, which you don't think people see (but they do) is your motivation for saying something like that. You don't seem like a bona fide racist to me, but you're not above saying racist things to get liberals riled up. If you just want to say something to stir the pot, you'll get exactly the reaction you deserve. Patter's motivation here was just to post something weird for us to talk about.

Beyond rules and technicalities, there is something called "good faith" and "bad faith". You're smart enough to know that, but you're playing dumb because you don't think anyone can tell the difference.

I've lived in many different countries, and spent significant time in even more. I have seen some weird local dishes - these are just some others.

BTW - dog fillet is pretty good.

This restaraunt needs to team up with that group in NYC that eats bugs - fried roaches and stir-fry crickets on a bed of marinated horse penis. Haute-cuisine at its finest.

I have it on good authority (someone from Hong Kong) that many of the restaurants in Soho (London's Chinatown) do Chinese food for Chinese people but you have to ask. I'll stick with the tame version, thanks!

I can imagine dog fillet tasting good as it is meat after all. As far as American food goes,Grits are pretty weird, from what I have been told. Oh, and this thing you lot have with peanut butter and jelly (or jam, as we call it). WTF? The weirdest thing in the UK would probably be black pudding. What do you think?

I live in Maine, we have "Rib Joints" also, Ribs are an important part of the "soul food menu" Jesus Christ don't start telling me thats racist too.

Mary Tyler Moore doesn't want us eating lobsters, I wonder what she thinks about having Lassie for dinner.

in the end, it all tastes like chicken.

I enjoy fresh Roadkill twice a month. Here's the recipe:

1-30 dead roadside animal(s) (Such as Deer, Possum, Squirrell, Moose, Pigeon, Porcupine, Woodchuck, Seagull ect.)

1 Bonfire

1 Big Ol' Pot of Water

1 Keg of Beer

Several drunk hicks

Combine all ingredients and you'll wake up at Harry's place.

The major difference is you make stuff up and if it makes sense to you it must be right, this thread started with a reference to an article on the internet. There was no judgement only a link to a story. Someday you might begin to understand this, kinda like the Thanksgiving story in Worcester of which you are so fond.
