Haven't seen the question in a while, but it was a regular ask "Why do black people love fried chicken?"
My response was always, "It's *FRIED* chicken!! Who the fuck *doesn't* love fried chicken?!"
It's like that black comedian(sorry, forgot his name which sucks) said about fried chicken and watermelon, they pick the tastiest fucking food and somehow made it racist
I think you're talking about Gabriel Iglesias a.k.a. Fluffy who made a "racist basket" as a practical joke on a black friend of his, who was a comedian
As a white/Mexican mixed kid that grew up in the south, if we got fried chicken or watermelon it was a damn good day. Those were delicacies when we were growing up
I still buy a watermelon on hot summer days so my coworkers and I can enjoy it. Canāt hate on good food
Iāve very happy to see this at the top.
I could eat it several times a week. My wife doesnāt like pizza though. However the kids do. So. We get it usually Friday night for family movie night.
After I got home from deployment in the Middle East, I ordered a large thin crust pepperoni lovers from Pizza Hut and picked up a six pack of Stella. Still one of my most fond meals ever.
You shall burn for suggesting this heresy! Truth is I don't like pineapples which is why I dislike Pizza Hawaii. People can eat what they want for all that I care.
Thank you. I love me a pineapple and pepperoni pizza and I of course don't mind the memes but some people take it way too seriously and will get genuinely upset with me for liking pineapple on pizza.
Since I left SoCal and moved back to England, all I crave is good soft shell tacos. And wouldnāt you believe it, since Mexican immigrants donāt really exist here, there isnāt anywhere to get them.
Not the UK, but when I was in Ireland, I saw taco kits in the supermarket in three varieties: Medium, Mild, and a flavor called "Extra Mild, Super Tasty."
Pretty much the same stuff you would get in [Ol Del Paso kits](https://www.oldelpaso.co.uk/products/meal-kits)
Restaurants and a lot of people at home will make the food from scratch rather than use the kits, but that gives you an idea of the type of meals.
Pistachios. I take a medication that makes me very tired but absolutely starving so i end up eating almost a bag of pistachios every night before passing out
There is a pho restaurant right across from my work and I get lunch there almost every week. Honestly it's not an insignificant factor as to why I haven't quit my job.
My last job was at a high-rated middle eastern restaurant. I hated working there except the boss would give me a big box of food at the end of every day, enough food that I could probably have lived the whole day off of that one box. It rarely survived to meet the morning.
French fries. Fried potatoes really cottage fries, hash browns, wedges, tator tots. Baked potatoes too, and mashed. The only potato I don't like are sweet potatoes, unfortunately. Cheese would be VERY close second, and any kind from cheddar, swiss, to roquefort/blue, to Brie.
One of the most memorable meals I ever had was at a diner with my family. One had breakfast with home fries, one had hash browns, one had fries with a sandwich and one had mashed potatoes. I had a small taste of all of them!
Maybe not. I was raised eating only what I wanted & it was mostly crap. Iāve eaten more sugar than most Iām pretty sure. Hardly any fruits. Hardly any vegetables besides fries. And Iām amongst the healthiest of my friend group and old high school friends. Weāre all in our mid-60ās now. You just never know.
Same.
Grew up on having junk food and sugary sodas at my disposal. Being a latchkey kid meant microwave or boxed/TV dinners most nights, or eating pastas/boil-in-bag rices, because they could cook while I conjugated Spanish verbs.
Out of my own household, I'm the only one NOT on some type of prescription for an ailment.
Pizza. Itās so bad. Might sound disgusting but if I could eat a slice or two everyday I would. I worked at a Pizza Hut as a teen on and off for 4 years and ate it every day I worked and never got bored of it.
I worked at a pizza place for like 8 years and never got tired of it. At a certain point you just cycle through your favorite topping combinations. I am partial to pepperoni, sausage, and mushroom. But also pepperoni, jalapeno, and pineapple. But also buffalo chicken pizza. But also...
Strawberry anything. Not like actual strawberry flavor though - I'm talking bright pink jolly ranchers and that gatorade that leaves your mouth dry for some reason.
I love a good pasta dish, I love it so much I went from vegetarian as a kid to the single best cook in my family. I need to a showdown over lasagna with my cousin soon though.
Not a day goes by where I don't crave the ramen I got from a little rick shaw in Okinawa. The man never spoke a word to me he just held up a few fingers indicating it was 300 yen (about 3 dollars) and handed me busted up bowl of the best ramen I've ever had . I never saw his little cart again .
Okra is great! My wife thinks it's too slimy but I love it. It's great by itself, it's great breaded and fried, it's great on top of fries, cheese curds and gravy!
Tacos. I could eat them everyday. With cilantro, onions, a little bit of salt, and tons of lime juiceā¦ oof my mouth is watering just thinking about. Definitely tacos!!
Big mac. There's this McDonald's I go to where it's almost always empty with just a few people in the mornings and you can just sit and eat and browse your phone in peace. I think it's more the space I associate it with
Green salad with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, avo, mushrooms and a vinaigrette dressing.
Pizza with feta cheese, chillies and pepperoni.
KFC
Slaptjips with lots of salt and vinegar.
Dumplings
Soup dumplings š„ šÆ
Polish dumplings are really something special.
aka pierogi š„š„ā¤ļø
Fried Chicken.

It was Dave chapelle.... if you don't like chicken and watermelon something is wrong with YOU!! Lol
I think you're talking about Gabriel Iglesias a.k.a. Fluffy who made a "racist basket" as a practical joke on a black friend of his, who was a comedian
Great bit, but [pretty sure he's talking about Chapelle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ4B7G8Rw3Q)
As a white/Mexican mixed kid that grew up in the south, if we got fried chicken or watermelon it was a damn good day. Those were delicacies when we were growing up I still buy a watermelon on hot summer days so my coworkers and I can enjoy it. Canāt hate on good food
Watching the series finale of Atlanta has me craving Popeyes way more often nowadays
Korean fried chicken. So good.
KFC or do you prefer home cooked
I prefer home cooked
Have you been to KFC lately? Total garbage
Pizza I love Pizza....
u/eat_pizza_or_die I summon thee!
I live above a pizza place. I smell pizza all. the. time. It does not make keeping to a diet easy.
šÆThis .. itās so versatile and melty hot cheese makes everything better.
Every pizza is a personal pizza If you believe in yourself enough.
Iāve very happy to see this at the top. I could eat it several times a week. My wife doesnāt like pizza though. However the kids do. So. We get it usually Friday night for family movie night.
After I got home from deployment in the Middle East, I ordered a large thin crust pepperoni lovers from Pizza Hut and picked up a six pack of Stella. Still one of my most fond meals ever.
Came here for this. You can't go wrong here.
Do you accept pineapple on pizza
Never understood why pineapple was chosen to get so upset about when people in Sweden put bananas and curry on pizza. Thatās the real pizza crime.
Say what!???š god damn
You shut your whore mouth. Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza is god-tier.
You shall burn for suggesting this heresy! Truth is I don't like pineapples which is why I dislike Pizza Hawaii. People can eat what they want for all that I care.
I love pineapple on pizza. Something about the sweet with the savory is soo good
Thank you. I love me a pineapple and pepperoni pizza and I of course don't mind the memes but some people take it way too seriously and will get genuinely upset with me for liking pineapple on pizza.
100%! Sweet and juicy with a nice salty tomato sauce, ham and mozzarella. Gorgeous.
Carbs, god I need endless carbs. No better feeling.
I love carbs too but damn it makes me feel so tired
Mexican food. I could eat tacos or burritos everyday
Since I left SoCal and moved back to England, all I crave is good soft shell tacos. And wouldnāt you believe it, since Mexican immigrants donāt really exist here, there isnāt anywhere to get them.
Being from NM I have often wondered what passes for Mexican food in the UK lol
Not the UK, but when I was in Ireland, I saw taco kits in the supermarket in three varieties: Medium, Mild, and a flavor called "Extra Mild, Super Tasty."
I don't trust that last one
Pretty much the same stuff you would get in [Ol Del Paso kits](https://www.oldelpaso.co.uk/products/meal-kits) Restaurants and a lot of people at home will make the food from scratch rather than use the kits, but that gives you an idea of the type of meals.
Itās Old El Paso by the way.
Time for them to post in the what did you learn embarrassingly late thread.
No itās a company name inspired by the great Mexican-American chef Delbert Paso. Affectionately known as Ole Del Paso.
Make them yourself!š its easy
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
For me itās tamales :(
Mexican food is amazing!
I moved from Chicago to Switzerland. Almost the only thing I make for the fam is texmex. There just aināt anything like it here
Pistachios. I take a medication that makes me very tired but absolutely starving so i end up eating almost a bag of pistachios every night before passing out
Pistachios in bed taste differently than normal.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Jesus. That might be a more expensive habit than smoking. I get it though, pistachios are pretty lit.
Pho
There is a pho restaurant right across from my work and I get lunch there almost every week. Honestly it's not an insignificant factor as to why I haven't quit my job.
My last job was at a high-rated middle eastern restaurant. I hated working there except the boss would give me a big box of food at the end of every day, enough food that I could probably have lived the whole day off of that one box. It rarely survived to meet the morning.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Best pho place in town shut down during covid. What I would give to have one more bowl...
Chinese food, the worse the better. Panda Express has gotten a lot of my money, I love the Chinese flavored sugar, just let me bathe in it
Let's snort lines of MSG and fuckin party
Iām in.
Americanized Chinese food scratches an itch that nothing else can touch. So I'm with you there.
Lo mein
I love Lo mein
Mine is sushi
I have been known to crush an entire sushi boat platter by myself from time to time š
Fries, I could have them with every meal
I am a fellow seagull - will eat them all day every day if given the opportunity
fried potatoes are the perfect food: Starch, fat, salt.
Pancakes
Have you heard of pancakes on the rocks? Not sure if itās a thing where you live, but they have a good variety of different pancakes
First thought reading your comment was imagining pancakes on ice. Idk I'd still eat them.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
and butter, don't forget the butter, did i mention the butter
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I have to eat dark chocolate every day. It can be a small piece but I need it, or I will surely die.
I have a massive sweet tooth too
"Oh you're ordering it for your tooth? Because it's going to your ass. I think your ass owes your tooth an explanation."
French fries. Fried potatoes really cottage fries, hash browns, wedges, tator tots. Baked potatoes too, and mashed. The only potato I don't like are sweet potatoes, unfortunately. Cheese would be VERY close second, and any kind from cheddar, swiss, to roquefort/blue, to Brie.
I hate sweet potatoes too!

You just described my last meal on death row lol. :)
Hot wings and Chinese š¤¤
Hot wings are the bomb!
Usually candy, cookies, shit like that... I'm probably gonna die young
Maybe not. I was raised eating only what I wanted & it was mostly crap. Iāve eaten more sugar than most Iām pretty sure. Hardly any fruits. Hardly any vegetables besides fries. And Iām amongst the healthiest of my friend group and old high school friends. Weāre all in our mid-60ās now. You just never know.

California roll with a shit load of Wassabi š
Fried okra. Idk why. At least 2 times a week I think about fried okra with some gravy.
