re: Do people in South LA eat beef stew over rice?

If not rice, no rice. Which I do with beans, gumbo and beef stew

Don’t need rice.

Like a mashed potato sandwich?

Almost as good as a pork & bean sandwich

Never tried cold spaghetti but yeah, it makes a good sandwich

Pork & bean
Mashed potato *bonus if field peas are mixed in
Spaghetti
Potato salad

All on white bunny bread

We made beef stew in the instant pot tonight

Then I had to make rice on the stove which I found odd

Born and raised in north Louisiana, beef stew was always over rice. Also had many a mashed potatoes and gravy sandwich.

It’s not unique to S La. it’s an Irish thing so northeast probably more than Louisiana

Really took off with the crockpot if I had to guess in the 70s

ETA: though the reason you never seen is that there aren’t tons of Irish immigrants that settled north la

While true it is probably more unique to southern coast, it is cheap to ship large quantities of rice and keeps for a long time, it isn’t outrageous that it shipped to other regions. People used to be more open to carbs.


The Irish were poor wherever they lived

Well yeah, what else is going to soak up the delicious gravy?

Slice of white bread.

Never have eaten it over rice (it has potatoes in it so it already has a starch).

yes. I eat everything over rice.
