Woman under fire after calling out critics: ‘Seasoning police just sounds a little racist’
"A woman on TikTok is under fire after calling out the critics of her most recent food video. Zoe Barrie (@zoebarrie) is a food creator who posted a video of her making dinner for her family, which included chicken, beer bread and a vegetable-packed marinara sauce. She showed the step-by-step process, but some people weren’t happy with some of her choices... “This is a PSA to the seasoning police on this app,” she started. “If, in your brain, you only use seasonings as things like garlic powder, onion powder or something like rosemary … If this is what you view as seasoning and seasoning only, let me pose you a question: Where does this come from?” Barrie continued defending her tactics in the kitchen. “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.”... Barrie is now facing criticism, as some users believe the term “seasoning police” was a euphemism for Black people."
Fact-checking black people is racist
Video transcript:
"This is a PSA to the seasoning police on this app. 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 - where does that come from? Dehydrated onion? Let's take a look at this spice rub: dehydrated garlic, onion and bell pepper.
*Quote from her previous video*: 'I sauteed those bell peppers along with my onion and garlic'
Hmm. What is so funny to me is if I had just doused my chicken in this rub in 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 or fresh onion or fresh bell pepper, it's automatically not seasoning?
And let me just say one last thing. If you're one of those people that loves to watch cooking competitions, and a judge says something is under seasoned, they're talking about salt. Under seasoning your food means there's not enough salt in it. Salt is gonna bring out the flavor of onion, the flavor of garlic, the flavor of whatever random spice rub that you have.
And let me just say that if your food tastes a little off, it's not because you need to add more powder. It's most of the time because you need to add more salt or some sort of acid like lemon juice or vinegar. Okay?"
Your OG @LRNROSE: "day in the life of a private chef in the hamptons"
AC @WordyWidowMaker: "Not a single seasoning in sight."
prinskipper @prinskipper: "I ... do you know what seasoning is? It's more than just salt which appears to be the only thing you have *prawns with herbs, pesto*"
Supreme Cancer Energy @fxcknxggafree_: "Folks just want to sound cultured. Seasoning is herbs and spices. She aint use no spices!!!"
Afrodite 🦋💫 @yung_afr0dite: "her list had calabrian chili and harissa"
Supreme Cancer Energy @fxcknxggafree_: "still not normal in african american culture. We use both herbs and spices and way more than harissa and chilli."
Apparently if you're not cooking the African American way, you're not cooking properly.
🦋LONGLIVEJU @theprettyaries: "She used a lot of veggies & herbs maybe spices not seasoning …. Lol but go off"
Afrodite @yung_afr0dite: "WHAT. babe that’s what seasoning is..herbs and spices 😭 y’all make us look ignant please stop this nonsense"
🦋LONGLIVEJU @theprettyaries: "Girl not making US look nothing I’m saying pepper , onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, salt, the NORM shit like that I’m not stupid at all 😭🥱 lol just look like use rosemary , veggies that’s it 🤷🏽♀️"
"I'm going to let all of you anons in here in on a little secret. Did you know that when niggers talk about "seasoning" they are exclusively referring to "Lawry's Seasoned Salt?" I'm not joking, it's an honest to God fact. Next time you get on the subject of cooking while chatting with a nigger ask him what his favorite seasonings are to use while cooking. He'll stare at you mouth agape before mumbling out some incoherent nigger speak like
"mufuggah ion no not mufuggin gorton ramsay nigga nah mean I'm just usin seasoning nigga"
Niggers really have no concept of seasoning, they honestly think all flavor is derived from Lawry's seasoning salt. One time l was invited to my nigger neighbor's 4th of July bbq. I could hardly contain my excitement because I was finally about to be enlightened by the fabled nigger BBQ, or so i thought.
imagine my disappointment when l arrived and was greeted with the following
>chicken rubbed with lawry‘s seasoned salt
>ribs with dry rub of lawry's seasoned salt
>mashed potatoes loaded with lawry's seasoned salt
>salad garnished with lawry's seasoned salt
>asparagus coated in so much lawry's seasoned salt that it was entirely crystallized by the time it was done grilling
>every table had a bottle of lawry's seasoned salt on it "to add some extra seasoning"
It was absolutely unreal. Do you know how many times I was asked to "pass the seasoning" that night? It can't be counted on both hands. Describing the situation as Lynchian is too kind.
If you ever find yourself dating a nigger and want to impress her grill up some chicken and rub it with enough lawry's seasoned salt to cure an entire calf. You will be amazed at her eyes light up as she takes her first bite and she showers you with compliments for "cookin' with soul"
Black Woman: "You people don't season food *Dash seasoning, Dawn detergent, raw chicken*"
"Sorry, we've been busy *Car, plane, rocket, running water, Colosseum, The Creation of Adam, Sailing Ship, Early Computer, Marble Statue*"

Kaffiåte🧱 on Twitter - "About a year ago there was a video that went viral on black twitter called “she ain’t use not one spice” It was a private chef cooking a large meal, using fresh ingredients like thyme, garlic, peppers and parsley. That’s when I realized, black people don’t know what spices are."
Dubs on Twitter - "They really don't. I've noticed most will smother everything with BBQ or hot sauce. Which is what I did when I was 9"
Slavoj Zyzz3k on Twitter - "there’s a great thread somewhere about how when blacks say “seasoning” or “spice” they mean Lowery’s Seasoned Salt—the only seasoning they know."
Kaffiåte🧱 on Twitter - "They have this phrase where they pretend “yts” only use salt because they don’t know salt enhances every flavor it’s added to"
Why Do Black People Wash Chicken? - blackpeoplesrecipes.com - "I didn’t realize Black folks and other minorities and people are color are typically the only people who are adamant about washing off their chicken until I was an adult. I noticed it because every time the “chicken washing debate” would circulate on social media whites/Caucasians would always appear astounded and shocked there was even a debate about the topic. Is washing chicken bad? Like most Blacks, I grew up washing chicken... I’ve also seen stories of people washing their meat with soap."
