WHITE GUY GOES TO FIRST BLACK COOKOUT! (REACTION!!!)

[@Trevbot789]

My dad's best friend is a black blues musician from Chicago. Been best friends for 50+ years. And one day, he handed me a piece of paper and said I want you to have this. I opened it up and it was a list of ingredients. I read it and immediately said no way!!! He gave me his mom's Mac n cheese recipe. He said I know she would have wanted you to have this. So now, it is a great privilege to bring the Mac n cheese to every cookout, every gathering I ever attend for the rest of my life.

[@robbing8452]

I loved her like my own grandma, and she coddled me a bit too much in my younger days, spoiled the shit out of me. And her Mac n cheese was my favorite meal on the planet. And now it's the only way my kids will eat Mac n cheese. I wouldn't have it any other way lol.

I'm the youngest of 11. My mother was the youngest of 7. My aunt on my father's side had 8 children. When my parents passed away our relatives had to come into the funeral home in groups of 20. Our family reunions were huge. Every family had to bring two dishes and their own drinks. We were trying to minimize the cost of the family. Both of our grandparents would full blood native Americans. We had relatives who married other races. We had Asians, Italians, white people. Some came because they were curious. It was wild.

[@Ramza1987]

Just a heads up, due to how people from literally all around the world, came to most parts of Latin america; Latinos, are not a race; they are a mix of literally everything else in the world. So you can have white latinos, black latinos, asian latinos, latino jews, indigenous latinos and a mix of them in varying degrees.

Lol. I can relate. I married a Mexican. We live in Detroit. My first visit to see her mom's family was like this guys. 45 to 50 Mexicans all speaking Spanish. They did nothing but love on me. Feed me some of the best food I ever eat. I danced with All 13 Tia's. Was an amazing experience. I miss them all. That was 30 years ago. Most of the Tia's have passed away.

Corn hole is basically the bean bag toss

[@cliftonparago4547]

Cornhole originally was you taus corn into the hole in the board across from you. Modern version uses beanbags. Also, corn is grown from Canada through Mexico and South America

[@TheRazzyDazzle]

As a white guy, I grew up with exactly 3 cousins, two of which are brother and sister. I gained more when my two female cousins started having kids, leading to a complete total of 9 cousins.

I'm Dutch. Yesterday i ate fries with mayo for lunch. Very common (fast)food to eat here. More luxury would be mayo, saté (peanut) sauce with chopped onions. And there are plenty of mayo sauces. Lots of types of additives to make dipsauce for chips, for salads or other food. My latest choice is a meat sanwich with some peper/sesame mayo.

[@ShirleyHage]

I think bones are dice ... Cornhole is popular everywhere now.. And you can grow corn anywhere

[@tgates0314]

Bones can be either dice or dominoes depending on the individuals playing. Where I'm from in Texas, it usually means dominoes. But I have frequently heard it be used for dice.

[@AmikaofMan]

The reason it is called bones is because it used to be bones that were used to make the domino pieces or the dice. Then Ivory. Now plastic, lol

[@logandarklighter]

In some places apparently "Bones" is specific to dice and Dominos is just Dominos. But I'm pretty sure that's a regional distinction. Like - Deep south - and then in Texas or the midwest it might be different! There's a 90s era RUSH album and single produced by Rupert Hine called "Roll the Bones". It's great music but kind of obscure these days.

[@GuessWhoAsks]

Not disagreeing with your info, but adding context to the phrase...Does one "throw" dominos or is the term "throwing" used in refernce to a game using dominos by anyone? If not then the phrase "throwing bones" would be specific to dice.

[@phunkydroid]

@@GuessWhoAsks You're right, him saying "throw bones" meant it was dice. I know plenty of people who call dominos bones but no one says "throw" in that context.

[@kenethatubb5996]

​@GuessWhoAsks that completely depends on the domino game being played. 42 is a domino game that is played a lot like spades, and sub-games within it. Rarely do they have to be placed in a formation, but just "thrown" in a pile, like a book is in spades. Straight dominoes are lined up off of the spinner.

[@Zach-ku6eu]

All throughout my military time (18 countries, three warzones, friends and women of all cultures) I love to attend at a cookout. The food is similar, but it's the family interactions that are the same. (Even when you don't have a shared language) The hosts don't realize, until the guest is unexpectedly comfortable being a part of them. Just like they they were hoping for.

[@Gulf_Coast_Gal]

I’m so blessed to be from the North Gulf Coast. My mom’s family’s got Indian/White/with some Cajun thrown in. If you look @ my pic, you’d probably be shocked that I’ve known how to play spades since I was 6, & everything this white guy was talking about. I feel blessed that I come from an area, where our culture is mixed “gumbo”.. New Orleans, Mobile, & on the P’Cola have the best food, & ppl.

[@senectutecato3987]

Small country farms and homes often grow corn for themselves. A lot will also sell it on the roadside by the house. Great video. I taught In Harlem NYC for many years I often was one of three Whites in the entire school. And most often, the only White on the Train downtown. Never had a problem, loved every minute with the kids.

[@00225236]

Lol as a Dutch person it is so funny hearing you guys wierd out about dipping fries in mayonaise 😂. My brain wasnt braining for a sec trying to understand why that would even raise any questions, you talked about Spain but all throughout Europe it is a very very common thing to dip fries and/or any other fried food in mayonaise. Mayonaise here is more seen to be on the same level as lets say ketchup, at least thats the ways its treated. Im curious as to how our mayonaise compares to US mayonaise.

Bones could either be Dominoes or Dice. Basically slang that comes from Ivory style game pieces.

Throwing bones = playing dominoes!! where I'm from. Since when is it dice??

It can mean both. I've heard it used more for dice. I'm East Coast so maybe that's the difference? The term originates from using dice made of animal bones to divine the future. It's called cleromancy.

[@magnusarvid4161]

@thefemininecfo You know I could imagine since dice were quite often made from bone back in the day, I wouldn't be surprised that's where the expression comes from - I am not sure Dominoes were made of bones typically but I wouldn't be surprised they were too :-D
