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

Idk but greens and beef patties

It's all west African cuisine, the only differences started when the colonizers split us up.

And now some of y'all want to fight over the labels they created and divided us up with.

Partly. Stuff like yams and black eyed peas are obviously African. But a lot of soul food is indigenous to the southern US and distinctly its own thing. I have never in my life heard a Jamaican refer to their cuisine as such.

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.

You sound crazy my guy

No...they're fat because they eat more calories than they need especially when it comes to sugar and processes food which make it even harder to lose weight.

Floyd mayweather short and eats 10,000 calories a day.

It's the original and the best soul food

 

[King Poetic]

No big deal

Just fukking eat

 

[Vandelay]

Silly argument on both sides.

I have nothing else to add other than I'll be in Jamaica in 5 days.

I'll see myself out.

Jamaican food is not soul food even if there is some crossover but we clearly delineate between African American Soul Food and Jamaican food and that is ok I love both.

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

Rage bait is an industry at this point.

Which proves my point… they’re fat cuz they don’t do anything physical at all
