      @@trinasmith4326 @trina Smith Fried chicken origins are from China, the Middle East and West Africa but the version we have today originated in the South by African slaves. Mac and Cheese was found in Elizabeth Raffald's cookbook in the 1770's but the version we have now is hailed as Thomas Jefferson being the inventor. However his slave, James Hemings, is believed by historians to be the master behind the recipe. Cornbread was invented by Native Americans way before Europeans or African slaves knew about it. Peach Cobbler was invented by British colonist because the didn't have the right tools to make peach pie. These foods were improved by the slaves to fit their taste... nothing more. Don't be mad, such is life! The only narrative is the one you've created in your mind.

    I think it's important for the tribal people to be told a more accurate origin of soul food. It is NOT African food brought by slaves... it WAS crappy, leftover ingredients the slave-owners did not eat or what they considered "animal food" (like corn, ham hocks, innards). Soul food is the amalgamation of that and the the fragmented African diasporas' tenacity to make something from nothing. It's not African, it's not introduced but created right here in the southern USA. Thank you so much for sharing our culture and food with other parts of the world. Sharing and enjoying food with others is better than war.

(I know, they weren't the only ones of course), and true, we aren't today, but history does have an impact on some people. And then there's clearly racism and a lack of care and unity between some races and cultures and just humans in general(even within same race). These beautiful people didn't just ignore or apathetically respond to the bit of history (hardship) they learned. They were touched by it, they cared. In a world growing colder and more hateful..sometimes its just nice to see little things like this.

The typical slave diet was grits, salt pork, chitlins, cornbread, corn mush, maybe some fish. Some enslaved Africans were allowed to have small gardens for extra food. Most enslaved folks suffered from poor health due to the lack of fruits and veggies.
