Can someone explain soul food?
This seems like garbage tier food.

>>21401536 (OP)
tastes good, cheap, and easy to make in big quantity so no one in the family goes hungry

How come American blacks are the only ones who can pull off roast dinners outside the UK?

>>21401547
I'm not sure, but that at least seems passable. Don't get me started on their utter dogshit thanksgiving meals. Pathetic.

It’s good stuff

greens are a meme, catfish is a meme, the rest is good

It's not. It's fuarkinf good.
Also it's become strongly associated with black people, because of where American blacks come from, but it's just southern food. My lily white mom cooks like this because she's from Tennessee. So does her best friend from Alabama.

People who eat soul food should go hungry more often. their racial demographic is fat as fuck

>>21401547
black food and british food are the same
chitterlings is just tripe

We get it, you beat off to trannies

They were making them for a longer period of time. Slaves did all the fine cooking in the South and after the end of slavery most of the old money people just employed their former slaves as sharecroppers or help at wages that functionally kept them in the same position they were. (It's also why the Great Migration didn't really start until about 50 years after the end of slavery as it took about two generations before people were like "bitch I can take a train to Chicago or New York and make twice what I make in a week in a day slamming metal together")
As for the north, while there are places in New England that are ethnically Anglo-Irish they're much more cultural melting pots where food fused together compared to the South which largely clung to "Anglo-Saxon Tradition" into the mid-20th century.
Of course now Texan and Floridan Latin Culture started infiltrating and now the South is known for hot sauce, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and the Bushes created the perception of a diverse south whose conservatism is more a leeriness towards change as opposed to Foghorn Leghorn/Elmer Fudd misguided/idiotic bigotry.
So ultimately that's why Soul Food is the best interpretation of traditional English (and French) cuisine in America. Today's south is known for hot sauce and the great migration happened at the beginning of the 20th century as opposed to the 1880s

Huh?

>>21401567
You know what I hate most about this webm is not that their black and acting black, that's their nature, but they seem to be in a fairly nice dwelling that they don't deserve.

You know how a lot of poverty meals from a lot of places taste pretty good? That's what soul food is. Poverty meals that got a little upgrade in the modern era

>>21401547
Blacks don't eat that, dumbass

>>21402224
They appear to be actual Africans and not ship Americans so you would expect them to inhabit the apartment and homes

Have you seen that Key & Peele bit?
It's literally a point of pride for black people to eat slave-tier food to prove how black they are.

There's a southern food cart in my 99% white town run by a sassy black lady from New Orleans and I wanted to be woke so I tried the catfish. It was the most expensive thing on the menu.

I couldn't finish it and it tasted like licking the bottom of a dirty riverbed. Did I do something wrong? Should I have bathed it in hot sauce? Can my Caucasian taste-buds not handle such soul in my food? Or is catfish a meme and a scam and nobody really likes it and black people just pretend they do because it's literally the easiest fish to catch?

I haven't gone back to the food cart and now I think she and the barbecue food truck negro think I'm racist but my lunch break is at 11:30 and they don't open their shops until like 1:30pm because from what I understand those people like to sleep in.

It is, in the same way snails and lamb brains are garbage tier food made palatable by their preparation.

>>21401536 (OP)
The meat scraps and cheapest vegetables all cooked with heaps of fat both from the animals and butter. Really, slave food.

No.

one time I had a roast dinner at my ex's house. Dry chicken, bland green beans and mashed potatoes. Looked like a Home and Cooking magazine cover, from the tablecloth & silverware to the stupid fucking scented pinecones in a decorative bowl centerpiece. but compared to my dad's proper thanksgiving dinners it tasted like a Hungry Man that left out all the salt.
Ive only ever encountered this with upper-middle class white women. They want the illusion of a proper Sunday roast but don't bother to make the food taste good.

Why deny simply the facts of life?

It's the original goyslop - offal, excess produce, and low-grade meat with enough salt, sugar, and/or hot sauce to mask the flavor. 90 percent of the stuff that actually tastes good (collard greens, fried fish/chicken, mac and cheese, cobbler, etc.) were invented long before American slaves started making them.
That being said, gumbo and banana pudding are quite good and were original creations of the American south, though not necessarily a product of slave cooking.

cheap
overcooked
crap other people would not eat
some of it taste good most of it does not.

sounds good to me, any milk?

brits were industrial slaves and blacks were agricultural slaves so they share a lot of history
