The funny thing about cornstarch enjoyers is that they aren’t even good at making complex, flavorful food. Dusting your discount meat with some stale Lowry’s isn’t the pinnacle of cooking.
Compare it to Thai or traditional Chinese with all their fermented ingredients, fresh herbs, spices and aromatics, and a lot of emphasis on properly balancing savoriness, sweetness, saltiness, bitterness, and sourness, and playing with different textures, etc., and it’s almost laughable how amateur and unimpressive black food is.
I’m all for making food exciting and flavorful, but black cooking ain’t it. To me it’s just a different shade of old-timey white American cooking with half the spice rack thrown onto it to cover up poor quality ingredients and lack of skill.
