chinamen had to learn how to make rotting corpses they found in a rice paddy taste good, so it's ever better these days with fresh dog and female fetus meat

American here, I'd rather eat Brazilian food than central American, Colombian, Cuban, Dominican, Ecuadorean, or Venezuelan. Or flyover food but that goes without saying

If I had to pick one other besides Mexico, Brazil would be on the short list but I'd probably end up going with Guyanese. Peru is a meme and people will get over it, I first tasted it in 1998 and I was over it fairly quickly

Chinaman here, long, bitter winters and hot n' humid summers ensure your food is hot enough to warm your soul and get you to sweat to cooldown

As far as I'm concerned anyone who doesn't drive an AMERICAN pickup truck and eat AMERICAN food and have an AMERICAN addiction to either oxycodone or crystal meth and live at least a 7 hour drive from any major body of water that person is a traitor to AMERICA and should be executed for TREASON

Ordered some Sichuan chicken at a restaurant in Atlanta last week and they handed me a plate of sloppy vegetables. looked nothing like that. I'm starting to think they couldn't understand me

>>7718348
Peruvians decided in the last decade or so that they're foodies, and since foreigners are impressed by raw fish and are blown away by the discovery that Latin Americans can have ethnicity other than indigenous and Spanish, the buzzfeed crowd is taken in by their collective delusion.

It also helps that the neighbors' cuisine literally consists of greasy rice and bananas, making the Peruvians kind of like Chicagoans

Only like 2% of Westerners have any experience with Senegalese cuisine. From Africa I've had Kenyan and Ethiopian, with Ethiopian being the better of the two. I'll have to take your word on Senegalese.

NYC is the primary place to find Senegalese/Malian/Ivorian food.


France has Senegalese all over the nation.

But yeah if they had more legume dishes and vegetable dishes they'd be probably African cuisine numero uno.

Never had Guyanese food, whats it like? I imagine similar to Jamaican/Trini? Does it even exist in the US outside of NYC?

Nice to know it's not just African AMERICAN'S who are like that

>>7716118
Because they were fucking poor and had unique ingredients. Fucking Poor + Ingredients = Great food, law of necessity.

Racism aside, he's right. Atlanta is pretty shit for food that isn't deep fried.

Sichuan doesn't have long and bitter winters, it's mainly humidity so people eat spicy food to sweat it out. Learn how to china next time.

Real Sichuan is the shit. Chicken thighs breaded and flash fried in garlic, scallion, and sichuan peppercorn, which used to be fucking BANNED.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sichuan_pepper

This shit is no joke. Your mouth goes numb and suddenly your ass is in flavortown with Guy Fieri standing over you, pants around his ankles, cock at half-mast, penetrating your taste-buds with delectable mind-numbing sichuan spice.
>>
>>7723502
It's not even a chile either

I wish god would quit slacking off and just destroy flyover land with infinite tornadoes. It's not like He lacks the ability

You gotta toast those sichuan peppercorns before you grind them btw. Make sure there or no seeds in the motherfuckers either. Just a couple tips from another Sichuan-fag.

>>7724180

That's a whole lot of peppers in these pics. Are they on the same level of heat as, let's say thai chili peppers? Anyone have an estimate of Scoville rating maybe?
>>
>>7723502
Sometimes when I crave Sichuan food I just eat a teaspoon of Lao Gan Ma out of the jar for that tongue numbing goodness.
>>
>>7724386
The heat is different from your standard chilies. "Mala" literally means numbing hot in Chinese. Read up on the effects that Sichuan peppers have here.

http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/why-szechuan-peppers-make-your-lips-go-numb-5668606/?no-ist

Gross simplification:
The chemical that makes most peppers spicy is capsaicin, the chemical that is present in sichuan peppers is hydroxy-alpha-sanshool. Capsaicin activates the heat receptors in your mouth, which is why it feels like your mouth is burning, because from your nervous system's perspective it is. Hydroxy-alpha-sanshool interacts with a separate set of receptors, a series which are associated with touch, which is why you feel kinda numb.

>>
>>7724703
They're dried chili's. You're really not supposed to eat them according to the owner of the place I go to. I eat them, but I also know that I'm going to piss fire out of my asshole later

Fellow Atlantafag here, you're pretty much shit out of luck for finding decent Sichuan food in this fucking city.

Jia is alright, but it's seriously not spicy enough. There's a few places on Buford that are okay, but half of them are owned by Koreans and are still lacking in spice compared to the real thing.
>>
>>7724460
there are no heat receptors in your mouth. You can't taste "heat" its the sensation of pain being chemically activated
