Pecan pie is intriguing. As a side I heard that vanilla bean ice cream wasn't offered.

 

[HereComeTheCats]

I hear all balcony hotel rooms were 1/2 price.

 

[Novacatt94]

No watermelon for dessert?

Not racist. That is like saying it is racist if they offered a Chinese Buffet for Chinese New Year or Italian food for Colombus Day. These are foods that a large percentage of African Americans enjoy, heck most people enjoy fried chicken, the sides are traditionally southern and black comfort foods.

 

[RW_Prescott]

The manager that picked out the food items is African-American.

Weird that it's $24, pretty pricey for fried chicken.

Heck, I eat fried chicken, mac & cheese and sweet potatoes, and I've had collard greens and pecan pie, and I'm white!!

Don't see how this is offensive in the least bit.

If the menu were red hot chips and grape soda, then maybe their gripe is legit.

Or if mayonnaise was strictly forbidden.

Or tipping.....

When they say "mac and cheese," do they mean Kraft straight out of the box?

Or is this some kind of delicacy that certain segments of the population supposedly can't get enough of?

 

[WhiteChocolate]

I've seen similar offerings in company cafeteria's during black history month. Yawn.

 

[novabball2]

vujoe - its probably more of a home cooked mac and cheese. never got the love for mac and cheese.

I'm fascinated about how these culinary stereotypes have developed, or if they are even true in the first place.

Pack of Newports for dessert?
