Large cities have Ethiopian - Memories of a thin large tortilla like whatever - made out of a grain, I have never had before. Food was served on it - I think I spooned various foods on it.
Been many years.

It’s a mix of spices that don’t appeal to all. The bread is sour. Berbere is a very strong and unique spice. I eat it once every few years but rarely crave it. I prefer Sudanese or Yoruban Nigerian or Senegalese food.
> African food is NOT exactly popular. (except among their own kind)
Slaves weren’t allowed to keep their heritage in the United States, that’s why African Americans are mostly Christian and don’t practice traditional African religions. The lack of popularity of African food in the United States is the result of cultural genocide rather than the food being bad.
> Tbh I had no idea I was Nigerian until I took a DNA test, but it could be cool to try some Nigerian food.
No idea where you live and you shouldn’t post it here. I’ve never run into a lot of restaurants. Apparently NYC and Houston have a lot. A good West African or Nigerian cookbook is $20-$30. I live in the Midwest but I can get the spices I need from Amazon.

I don’t think they’d have had the same ingredients or crops available either. Fonio and the right yams aren’t available.

Of course, the suppression of African religions and cultures is a cultural genocide. A lot of that kicked off after the Haiti revolts, where the French hadn’t suppressed the shamans who led it or the cultural pride that allowed it.

Not trying to defend white people but I find it hard to believe that they do not know flavor. Like look at Italians for example. Dont they make their sauce from scratch using different types herbs and spices along with certain types of vegetables?
Also dont white Americans tend to barbecue via dry rub or wet rub? What about the Brits? Dont they use salt and pepper along with some type of spice?

Idk, I think the lack of seasoning probably applies mostly to the British, but most white Americans don’t actually have British ancestry. The US is a majority minority country, white Americans are mostly English, Irish, German, and Italian.

I saw some video about that. I’m interested in technology so I’m subscribed to this one guy on YouTube that makes videos about TSMC and the chip industry. Apparently Nigeria is one of the top consumers of instant noodles because Indonesia is Muslim so they made halal Ramen and sold it to Nigerians because Nigeria has a hundred million Muslims since they’re half Muslim. It’s like the most random thing.

If I was in some foreign county and I had a craving for some cheap food in America though, I could imagine paying $10 for something that really shouldn’t cost $10 though.

I should clarify: majority minority by ethnicity, not by race. Although it might become one by race in the future because of how many Asian and Hispanic immigrants there are.
