You know, when there's a food you really like and you aren't allowed to eat it, sometimes just being around it and getting to smell it and see it is a treat.

I think he still isn't all that welcome.

They sure don't want his wife.

The idea that this old man is going to wag his finger at us again while his corrupt wife lords over the universe is too much to take.

Where the watermelon be?

Chip Ahoy said...

According to stereotypes I'm black. I love all stereotypical black food. All of it. And I never can get enough watermelon. Never. I'm always disappointed in portion. I always want more of that stuff so one day I bought a watermelon and ate the whole thing. It took all day. And I peed red for two days after. And I thought, you know, dude, that was really stupid.

Cornbread shaped like corn on the cob. In America, that's how you know that it's authentic. A thing so stupid it must be a joke. But you never can tell when someone is reading from Kuwait or some such.

We had those corn bread molds around the house - sold 'em to Y*nkees who wandered by, and no doubt, who put sugar in their cornbread. Sure sign of a heathen.

That's what a lot of people think, and you can bet someone will remind all and sundry of "10 years ago, he'd have been bringing us coffee".

I love watermelon too. My grandma just loved it. We had it from the first day it was avialable to the last day in the fall you could buy it.

Back in the 1960's they would come from Long Island with a Panel Truck filled with watermelons from the farms out there. They would park on Henry Street and the guy would stand on the back of the truck and yell out "WWWAAATTTEERRR MMMMEEELLLOOONNNN." You would go and he would cut a triangle slice into the middle and pull it out so you see that it was ripe and not spoiled. You would buy the whole watermelon for a nickel or ten cents and take it back home. Put it in a bucket with ice. Or if you were having a party you got a couple and put them in the tub with a whole bunch of ice. My Uncle Angelo would sink in and pull out that cut slice and pour in a fifth of vodka. The kids loved that watermelon. Put them right to sleep.

Good times.

I do not want to defend Bill Clinton, but who doesn't love fried chicken? I remember when it was called soul food. Collards, chicken, this is great stuff. There is plenty of black bbq that is completely kick ass (as you can guess, I like the port bbq over the brisket, but that is me).

There is nothing racist about fried chicken. That lady from Popeye's brags about her chicken (I do like her crispy/spicy chicken). But I especially like local places that make their own fried chicken.

I have heard that some blacks will not eat water melon because of racial stereotypes (around white people). That is unfortunate. Water melon is awesome (it is the best fruit when it is hot).

No one gets freaked out when politicians scarf down corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's day or other ethnic dishes when dealing with potential voters and festivals. Why should it be any different for awesome African American food?

Pork not port.

Though I like port too.

ricpic said...

Port from Oporto is very nifty.
Do you like your brisket spicy? crispy?


Nonsense poetry! It's what's for supper.

If Hillary was there do you think that she'd put hot sauce on her chicken, just so she could show those black people that she's down with that?

Trooper York said...

I don't get freaked out if he wants to enjoy it. I just think if he is going to pander he needs to have the authentic cuisine.

Government cheese. Just sayn'

edutcher said...

Did anyone ask him if he was bringing them their coffee?

Trooper York said...

If Hillary was behind the counter she would say "Do you want lies with that?"

Chip Ahoy said...

I've concluded that long hair on old men looks feminine. I would cut everyone's hair shorter. Long hair is for thick dense lug jurious mops, not thinning and not for graying hair. Now, permit me to cut it for you. For free! Bzzzzzzt spin Bzzzzzzzzzzt spin Bzzzzzzzzzt. sweep sweep sweep. There. Instant gravitas.

This freak-man literally looks like death warmed over. Is it too much to hope that he doesn't make it through her first term in office?

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Lol. And I just brought back a watermelon on the way back. One of those spherical bowling ball-shaped deals.

Later in the summer some of the local farms will sell you the yellow seedless variety. Those are the sweetest and the coolest-looking.

How would you heat a watermelon?

People afraid of looking funny eating it might take heart in the way the snobby foodies are incorporating everything into everything. First watermelon salad I had was four triangles or flattish half-cubes surrounding a dab of goat cheese, with spinach and balsamic. Pretty good stuff.

And then you realize it's just the best on its own, no matter what you do.

Sylvia's in Harlem. The worst thing about a second Clinton presidency is the way those crooks will probably be flooding it again.

And if you want some straight-up African to go with your African American, I'm really tempted to see what actually goes on in one of Marcus Samuelson's restaurants.

ndspinelli said...

I bet vegan Bill still eats black pussy, just like his wife. At least some of the Trumpaholics are beating up on Rodham now. That's a good sign.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

I doubt Bill does black chicks. Like a serial killer, he probably tends to stick to his own kind.

Redneck or white enough to pass for redneck.

edutcher said...

Legend has it he fathered a baby by a black woman, but, as his political idol was Orval Faubus, I kinda doubt it.

ndspinelli said...

I actually wonder if Bill and Rodham have ever fucked the same woman.

Vince Foster count?

ndspinelli said...

edutcher w/ the thread winner. LOL!

The Dude said...

I had some watermelon as recently as 1963. No fried chicken this century, and collards, never. Don't like 'em, don't eat 'em. Life is better that way.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Christ 60G. What do you allow yourself to eat? Mush?

I'm just saying you sound like one heck of a picky eater. Every other comment lately is a new variation on the ode to Green Eggs and Ham.

The Dude said...

I can't see green, so no telling. I did have a piece of ham at a Christmas party last year. That was good.

Did you ever get a loaf of freshly baked bread, say, a sour dough baguette or a market loaf made from locally grown hard wheat, cut a slice, dip it in some Nunez de Prado spicy Spanish olive oil then hit it with just the barest hint of pink Himalayan salt?

Beats the hell out of a greasy cheese steak all day long.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

I can't stand cheesesteaks.

Sometimes just the right bread and spread is all you need.

I got some olive oil flavored with blood oranges that I've been addicted to using lately.

Even better than ham is dry-cured bacon. Or anyway of curing, as long as it's meaty and thicker than a ruler.

ndspinelli said...

We went from eating chicken, to eating pussy, to eating colored food, as it were. We were @ the Padres game. The ballpark has stands run by local restaurants and breweries. The team sucks but the food is top notch. There is a local BBQ place, Phil's BBQ. I've eaten BBQ in some of the best spots in this great country. Had a brisket sandwich today and it was very good. Padres got shutout 2-0. The team really honors the military. They have discounts every Sunday for military and always ask current and former military to stand and be honored. Always a good ovation. I find it moving every time. Rodham hate the military, and they her. They hate Obama as well. They will love Trump I predict.
