Thoughts on Soul Food?

>>21546229 (OP)
It's amazing
My White father makes it often
Collard greens, mac & cheese, cornbread, chicken, ribs, I love all of it

It's alright, I don't hate it but I don't love it. Like most other boomer/flyover food, you really have to be in the mood to enjoy it. Also, gentrifying it with bougie ingredients like high end italian pasta instead of creamette mac, and humanly raised, heritage-breed meat animals instead of cafo garbage, makes a huge difference in how appealing it is.

The most attractive Black women eschew soul food, so that should tell you something about how healthy it is. Enjoying it is somewhat of a stockholm syndrome performance art to remind you of the harsh lives of your ancestors, much like jews eating the bitter herbs on shabbos or whatever.

alright once in a while, but more than once a week is a bit excessive.

Is it ok to ask for help from a black person who isn't a store employee when I walk into a black owned establishment?

Kinda Curious to Try it one day, as I tried typical American Diner Food Before (Country Fried Steak Dinner in my case)

But I only know one Place on my Midwest City that Serves them. Famous Daves sometimes get close, but I want to try the authentic Soul food one day. Probably when I visit the South or I go to that single restaurant.

We have to capitalize soul now too?

Soul Food And White Boomer Food Are 60-70% Overlap In Terms Of Ingredients And Presentation But Soul Has Some Things White Boomer Lacks And Vice Versa For Instance Soul Has Collards And White Boomer Has That Gross Baby Poop Mustard That Goes On Their Dried Out Lean Meat Hamburgers. You Can Have A Food That Is Soul Food From A White Boomer Restaurant, But It Is Not A "Soul Food Meal" Unless It's Strictly Soul Ingredients And Has Some Syrupy Beetus Drink Like Sweet Tea. White Boomer Side Drinks Are More Dry, Such As Crystal Lite A Classic Of White Boomer Home Dining.

It's More Respectful To The Food As It Constitutes A Legitimate Gastronomic Tradition No Different From Hunan Cuisine Or The Traditional Diet Of The Aboriginal British Folx.

Some good stuff but a lot of absolutely disgusting things by virtue of where it got its origins, more trash than most cuisines. I'm happy to have the good things and I will not engage with the awful stuff.

Soul food and southern food is pretty much the same thing except soul food makes you obese faster.

So they don't have to wash dishes and most people take food to go anyway at those places

>>21546315
Sounds extremely wasteful and bad for the environment

>>21546295
Shut up britbong your cooking sucked until us Indians added some flavour and spice

Jesus christ at the salt

quit typing like that you fucking retard

Can be good, often isn't. Black people do not know how to make a decent macaroni and cheese, Jesus Christ. I've dated a few black American bitches and been to black people cookouts and every single homemade mac'n'cheese I've been served by black people is always always always that one that's basically baked carbonara. They beat eggs with evaporated milk and shredded cheddar, mix it with the cooked macaroni, tip it out into a baking dish and top it with more cheddar. It would be good but the eggy taste and texture is not to my liking and they rarely use enough cheese for some reason. More on that below.
Soul food restaurant macaroni and cheese is a different thing altogether but still not cheesy enough.

AKA chicken fried steak. It's the Amish and German-American daughter of Austrian, Swiss and Northern Italian beef cutlets. Much, MUCH thicker than the original (because they tend to either be actual steak or cubed blade rather than a thin slice of top round or eye of round) but the preparation is otherwise identical. The other main difference is that it's served with a peppered bechamel or, more rarely, a brown gravy with mash whereas the European original is served dry with fries.
t. Euro in America whose mother happens to be Swiss
That's why I say they don't use enough cheese. Ever have Swiss macaroni and cheese? For 500g of pasta, you use at least 750g of cheese and up to a kilo, the logic being that the pasta will absorb water as it cooks so you need to use more cheese to balance it out.
White American macaroni and cheese is ironically better than the soul food stuff, which is always bland or too eggy.
