Nate Posted August 8, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2014 go on...try to guess you'll be wrong as hell I'm going over to my friend's house for dinner He's African, from Niger. Not Nigeria ...Niger. go look at a flipping map for crying out loud He's making African food I've never had African food, I don't even know what to expect We waited until after Ramadan so we could eat before 9pm that means he's Muslim, if you are too stupid to put all that together. Thought I better connect those dots for you. There's Obama voters on the forum and all So yes, I have black friends, and Muslim friends and we actually do stuff together So suck on that you liberal pinkos. Me, a redneck, actually having dinner with an African Muslim friend I'm teaching him how to shoot guns, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share #14 Posted August 8, 2014 ok, fair enough but I'm pretty excited about trying African food. I've never had any real authentic African food I've tried all kinds of Asian food when I was in Pacific Fleet, and all kinds of Carribean food when I lived in Puerto Rico, and then real actual Mexican food never anything from Africa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Karen_Cooper_Incident Posted August 8, 2014 Share #18 Posted August 8, 2014 Hold still. Zing! Anywho, I love Ethiopian food. There was a nice joint in Pittsburgh; a really special place. I used to go there with my coworker from India. He basically hated me but this was our common ground. I would always drive and he would always pay for parking.

Nate Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share #19 Posted August 8, 2014 The one thing is that whatever he makes he will have to get the ingredients here in the states. It was kinda funny, but when he went back to Africa to visit his folks he told me that he was hungry all the time. He has spent so many years in the west (he got his degree from the University of Paris and he spoke French before he learned English) that he wasn't used to the diet in his home country anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted August 8, 2014 Share #20 Posted August 8, 2014 I starved for two weeks, when I went to Grenada. Food was outrageously priced and small in quality. I have no idea how the Grenadians make it there. I did see plenty of goats being slaughtered right before Christmas Day. Goats are all over the place. We got back to Miami and I literally ran to the food court. Best airport pizza I ever ate. HAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former member Posted August 8, 2014 Share #23 Posted August 8, 2014 (he got his degree from the University of Paris and he spoke French before he learned English)French is the official language of Niger, so it's not surprising he learned French before English.

Nate Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share #24 Posted August 8, 2014 I know. French is a much more common language in Africa than English. Most Africans I've known spoke French before they learned English What's interesting talking with him is that he thinks like a Frenchman. Talking with him reminds me of talking with my friends that were French nationals. I mean in the way I need to speak to be easily understood and they way he says things When they hired him at Pitt, all the social workers thought that I wouldn't get along with him because they're predjudiced against rednecks, but I was the only one in the building that could speak French to him, so right from day one we were good friends. Funny enough, I was the only one in a building full of "diversity" nuts that actually bothered to pronounce his name right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share #37 Posted August 9, 2014 Nate, please tell us more about the food he cooks. Take photos if it doesn't offend you friend. I just wrote it up in another thread. I don't have cellphones to take pictures, though When I lived in Puerto Rico the Puerto Ricans ate plantains like we do potatoes. I remember they made this meat pie where the crust was plantains sliced long ways and laid out sort of like how we would lay out a lasagne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Ungulate Posted August 9, 2014 Share #38 Posted August 9, 2014 Nate, you are overcompensating. We all know you aren't a racist by the fact that you are a jazz musician. Gay, too, you forgot to mention that Nate was gay, like all jazz musicians. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
