You Can't Make This Shit Up.....

[Arkilogue]

Pork Rinds are a stereotypical white trash food.  Does that count?

That's at least a food and not a condiment!

And come to think of it, fired chicken is a stereotypical white trash food as well....wait a minute....wasn't it a southern staple before imported African culture adopted it???

I think I have a good case to cultural appropriations here....I might need to start a #whitefriedbatters movement to take back our culinary heritage!


Turns out it co-developed in the Scottish and West African cultures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried_chicken

Both Scottish[1][2][3] and West African cuisines[4][5][6][7][8] had traditions of frying chicken.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Scottish fried chicken was cooked in fat (though unseasoned)[1][3] while West African fried chicken was seasoned[1][2][8] (but battered[5][6] and cooked in palm oil).[4] Scottish frying techniques and African seasoning techniques were in the American South by African slaves.[1][2][3][8] Fried chicken provided some means of independent economy for enslaved and segregated African-American women, who became noted sellers of poultry (live or cooked) as early as the 1730s.[9] Because of this and the expensive nature of the ingredients, it was, despite popular belief, a rare dish in the African-American community[4] reserved (as in Africa) for special occasions.[6][7][8]
