My grandma is 70 something and super oldschool. If she makes any vegetables, you can be sure some fatty, salted meat
You family need to catch up to 2015 breh. I don't know many black families that still use fatback or bacon grease()
That's your family... I'm from the gutter.... and nobody around my way ate fried foods every day... You still didn't say what they eat..... Let me put it to you like this... If you show me a discrepancy in income, I'll show you a discrepancy in eating habits......
Number 1..... We couldn't even afford to eat meat like that every day.....
Number 2.... Certain foods were prepared because of their shelf life..... Baked meats last longer than fried foods..........
According to these posters.... we were eating smothered porkchops on Monday, fried Catfish on Tuesday, fried chicken on Wednesday, Chitlins on Thursday, Country Fried Steak on Friday, and BBQ Ribs\Pork all through the weekend....
Hell, I don't know too many nikkas that can even "afford" to cook and eat like that everyday
Knowing some of the health effects of the high cholesterol, fried, fatty foods even tho its part of our culture? Is it taking away from their black heritage by not giving it to them?
she used salt park for macaroni and cheese

You from the South.... but I'm in the South.........
I absolutely will. Reflecting back on growing up in the south and learning how to cook from my great aunt, nothing we ate was processed. Soul food includes more than just fried chicken and can be healthy if cooked right an in moderation. Heck one of my favorite healthy snacks is collard greens (with smoked turkey of course).
The only person in my family that fries every damn thing is my momma. Otherwise, when I go home, I'm literally eating vegetables grown in our own backyard. Regardless, I'm making sure my children appreciate at least that aspect of their southern heritage.
My momma still uses fatback and bacon grease. There is NOTHING wrong with a little bacon grease though They even caught onto bacon grease on the Food Network.
She makes it in BULK with 3 different kinds of cheese, rosemary, salt, pepper, milk, butter, etc.
Never heard or seen anyone do that
As soon as them white folks say aint nothing wrong with a lil bacon grease, they'll be back on it.....
it most definitely is@ ppl acting like Caribbean food is any more healthy... Its all about how you cook it and how much of it you eat Y'all niccas stay trying to demonize anything AA on the coli fukk outta here

It wasn't the worst thing I ever tasted, but it
