Do black Brits have their own food?

[Neuromancer]

Descendants from Britian Slavery would consist of people from the Caribbean.

They created a culture and settlements there before they were sent to Britain?

 

[Kasgoinjail]

3 led generation from where? But what do the descendants of Britain Slavery have as far as cuisine? Are you saying they don't have own version of American Soul Food? Or they kept their cuisine from their countries even with slavery?

From my grandmother womb...
We have an amalgamation of cuisine that stems to what is readily available to us in our environment and what we inherited from our family's traditionally.


Eg
Full English breakfast minus black pudding + scotch bonnet pepper and plantain

Most "black foods" in England are just going to be traditional Caribbean or African dishes I would assume.

 

[Caca-faat]

Majority of black brits are immigrants.

As a 3rd gen I would like 2 chime in



Black british food is everybody else's food with scotch bonnet pepper and plantain on the side.

Yes to all of the above.


There weren’t very many black ppl on British soil that were held as chattel slaves as far as I know. They were all held off shore in the Islands and other places and the money was sent back to the UK. Unlike America that had slavery on its own land.

So there are no black brits that are descendants of slaves that have been in England since times of slavery.

Many of the black ppl were free blacks, Merchants, Moors, tradesmen and otherwise educated and their genes got washed out and recycled eons ago.

That’s why the British can mentally remove themselves from slavery the way they do but still retain an imperialistic mindset.

So any black Brit’s here now with black skin are descendants of the windrush or of recent immigration.

Black Brits are descendants of Caribbean and African migrants so their food will be caribbean and/or african food Even for second and third gens.

I love London as a city (my second favorite behind NYC) and every time I visit I don't have issues with the food - there's plenty of african and caribbean restaurants and they get busy in the kitchen

I thought y'all had y'all own version of Soul food but I understand it as y'all kept it from the areas of the people enslaved came from?

Black brits are 1st and 2nd generation africans and caribbeans...

There are 4th gen black brits these days brehs.

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

Thats what black brits are you fukkn dumbass...

Nah he means people who’s ancestors were brought to the UK as slaves directly and didn’t come during the windrush generation and hence have no association with the Caribbean.

Seems like that's the case. I was thinking they had their own version of Soul food or Creole or Geechie like cuisine

Facts, in history slave owners that had to transition in England would lose their slaves because they would take their 'owners' to court and sue them (Habeas Corpus)

As a result if we want to eat our traditional food we have to adapt the ingredients that can't be imported.

I saw it took a man in East London 15 YEARS for his green banana tree to grow and bear fruit

Based on @Kasgoinjail I don't think they have a Brit version of American Soul food. They just assimilated and added some area of enslavement items to British dishes.

UK kept most of it's slavery business primarily in the colonies

Cacs knew what they were doing was wrong
