seasoning police
A black person. Refers to the black community's tendency to criticize white dishes that are not made with "flavuh powdas" even when fresh ingredients are used instead that are exactly the same as the contents of these dehydrated and powdered seasonings.
If in your brain you only view seasoning as things like garlic powder, onion powder, or maybe something like rosemary, if this is what you view as seasoning and seasoning only, let me pose you a question. What does this come from? Granulated garlic, what is that? Garlic? Onion powder, what does that come from? Dehydrated onion? Let's take a look at this spice rub. Dehydrated garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Hmm. What is so funny to me is that if I had just doused my chicken in this rub and this rub alone, the seasoning police would be out of my comments, they wouldn't even be in there. But the second it's fresh garlic, fresh onion, fresh bell pepper, it's automatically not seasoning?
