“FYI, Jamaican food is soul food too” sparks violent debate on Twitter

[Ayo]

And soul food isn't "black American food." It's southern food. That's why the south is the fattest part of the country. Food good as a mug.

Nah B

Eating white dikk for a living is soul food for you though

That post is meant to stir things up between FBA and Jamaicans. Lot of folks took the bait. Jamaican food isn’t soul food though.

Oh goodness not again. Whether it’s true or not, ‘it’s giving’ insecurity and hurt. It’s so desperate constantly groveling over some credit. This is what happens when the culture is led by women.

And to the actual topic, “ADOS” got some explaining to do. Modern soul food is not your granny’s soul food. I dont see many new age spots selling smothered chicken and chitlins. Oh but I see a whole lot of jerk Henny Mac n cheese. Jerk douse trap tacos. Jerk Henny wings. Oh and how about the oxtail awakening from earlier in the year

There is a lot of overlap now. And you will ALWAYS end up looking silly trying to seperate black culture from non-Ados influence.

jerk chicken in soul food spots? where did you see this? and oxtails have been a soul food staple.

I could see how a Jamaican could make an argument about Jamaican food being a subsection of soul food

But we have to pin point what is soul food really

It’s not soul food it’s Caribbean food both top 5 easy same w African food different but all fire top 5.

All I know is Oxtail, Jerk Chicken with rice and peas is a "Soul Food Sunday" qualifier in this house.

But couldn’t “soul food” and Caribbean food has overlap

Oxtails originated in Jamaica

And I don’t think Jamaican food is soul food but outside of the deep south the soul food spots I see are a mash up of stuff. Modern soul food is more like this guys page



Before this he posted smothered pork chops. Every other post is ‘jerk’ something.

Or like this Jamaican restaurant that serves ‘ados’ mac n cheese next to Jamaican jerk chicken, stew chicken, etc . It’s a lot of overlap diaspora wars are silly and sad

Many of you are very susceptible to 'rage-farming'

Yep.

What a juvenile discussion topic lmao


EDIT: Just peeped who OP is. Topic is on brand

 

[Illuminatos]

Obviously it’s nit soul food but I grew up in Jamaican households and my mother used to make fried chicken and grandma used to make baked mac and cheese and collard greens.

Jamaicans do make some of the same stuff as us american negroes...but its a completely different style. I mean just look at something as simple as oxtail...same shyt two completely different takes on it.

American Negroes huh
