Food of the enslaved in the 1800s

[Oceanicpuppy]

Contrary to coli belief, African American cuisine was vast and diverse.

In my fried chicken thread lots of posters jumped to the conclusion that fried and fatty foods were all that black Americans slaves ate. This could be farther from the truth.

Food Historians set the record straight.







None of the coli folks can jump too piss poor assumptions that slave food was unhealthy or greasy.

shyt having a grandmother born and raised in mississippi all these foods extra familiar.

One of her favorite cheap ass meals is cooking Red beans and rice, cornbread, cutting up some onions and putting that shyt together and putting a lil vinegar and hot sauce together.

Probably the cheapest quality meal I've ever ate and its good as hell.


Hate having to clean up her okra pot, that shyt be gooey and disgusting

most slaves diet wasnt even as varied as that sadly.
lots of plantations the rations were basically just crap corn week
after week that the slaves had to grind themselves into meal and cook
hoe cakes before heading to the field before sunlight
in rice country they got lots of rice.[broken garbage rice] meat was really just for special occasions
like Christmas.

depended on the plantation too
some grew sustinence crops others didnt
if the food had to purchased and imported
the slaves were less likely to get it

some slaves were allowed their own small gardens
others werent

some slaves were able to hunt and fish to supplement their rations

sugar and salt were luxuries

Yes they were basically eating corn mush and fruit but some posters act like they were eating chitterlings and pork ever week. That would be a luxury.

I don't know if this is slave food... .but we been eating like this forever... that stigma on slave food comes from born insecure nikkas that value white folks opinions to validate their self esteem

edit: just clicked on the vid... the irony in a white man validating this shyt.....
