Have y’all noticed younger Blacks don’t really fw Soul Food

[8====D]

I love Soul Food. . .but I had to fall back from it, among other foods. The gym has been too good to me and I refuse to throw away all this hard work.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Real talk I question how a lot of these folks were raised.

Let them tell it, they must of grew up eating a plate full of chitlins garnished in fried chicken every night. No vegetables, no variety, no nothing.


I can’t see how someone can grow up in an AA family and talk about Soul Food in such a limiting way, shyt don’t compute to me.

Then 3 veggie plates tho!

Man all my aunts got diabetes and they fat, my grandma had four heart attacks. They ate that type of stuff damn near everyday. It's good everyonce in awhile, cpl times a month. Maybe it's healthy soul food but they type of shyt they cooked shouldn't be ate every day or even four five times a week.

Yall gotta stop generalizing a whole generation of people too, saying they parents cant cook. How the fukk yall know what all they parents can do.

Soul food just aint chicken and waffles, collards and oxtails thats more stereotypical/commercialized depending on where you live your soul food will be different, you cant tell me if young Black kids had access to shyt like this

Spoiler

They wouldnt be

The soul food restaurants out here stay packed and its not just Black and Whites ive noticed Hispanics and even Asians starting to fukk with it, you even got Asians trying to open up their own casian spots

It is a multi-layered issue. Soul food is very popular amongst non-black people of all ages, which is ironic because I see black people adopting veganism. Soul food is being re-branded just like other ethnic foods. Ethnic food is being treated like Hip Hop. Shout out to Brown Sugar Cafe in Oakland for restoring the feeling. If I see another chicken and waffles spot open up I'm going to shoot myself.

southern american (usa) food is soul food. They just only call it soul food when aframs make it. White people/non-blacks eat it all of the time

Move over, foie gras: The latest rage in Paris is . . . classic American barbecue

But it’s not just Paris. Barbecue, that onetime fiercely regional American food, has gone global. American-style barbecue restaurants have opened in Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, London, Vienna, Mexico City, even Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Last year, Wayne Mueller, the third-generation owner of Louie Mueller Barbecue, went on a State Department-sponsored world tour, during which he cooked barbecue and discussed its culture and history at the Milan Expo in Italy.

The competition circuit, too, has gone international. The prestigious Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue contest draws teams from all 50 states and around the world. Last year, a record 27 international teams competed. Meanwhile, contests on foreign soil, from the Netherlands to Prague to Australia, have grown so numerous that the Kansas City Barbeque Society, the sanctioning organization, created an international division.

“It’s like us 25 years ago,” says KCBS executive director Carolyn Wells, referring to the torrid growth of the organization after it was founded in 1985.

The grilling manufacturer Weber-Stephens sponsors “Grill Academies” in Copenhagen, Berlin, Paris and London, among other cities, to grow the market for its products in Europe. In October, the company promoted Danish barbecue competitor Stig Pedersen from marketing director of a region that included Europe, Africa and the Middle East to a newly created position of “vice president global creative” to oversee the company’s international sales and initiatives.

Like jazz before it, barbecue is viewed as an authentic expression of American life. Assaying the egalitarian ideal at the heart of the American experiment, barbecue’s recent journey out of its Southern home amounts to more than a culinary phenomenon. Its spread constitutes the internationalization of an American idea.

Craig White, a San Antonio native and another Mueller alum, opened White Smoke in Tokyo in 2011. He told CNN: “We aren’t just selling food, we’re selling American culture. Eating at our restaurant is an American experience. To date, our American food ambassadors in Japan have been McDonald’s, Subway and Kentucky Fried Chicken — all of which I love, but we can do better than Ronald McDonald.”

If BBQ is an American tradition, for South Africa it is a national obsession

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — While barbequing is an all-American tradition, in South Africa, it has become a fervent national obsession and the inspiration for an unofficial holiday, championed by everyone from suburban dads to Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

People be messing up the food, I caught my roommate in college putting sugar in his grits. I've never been so offended in my life

I will eat Soul Food every once in a good while. Most of time I feel like complete shyt after eating ot though.

I can dig it...but any cultural diet can be misused ...even vegan ones. Theres nothing inherently unhealthy about the umbrella of soul food as a whole. Full balanced diets can be constructed from them

Thats before considering the stresses and other factors which not only contribute to poor health beyond nutrition but pleasure/coping eating ( not how one is supposed to eat)that they and we all are subjected to...

just keeping it 100...Soul Food is not good for you

Alot of folks are hip to how they eat these days...I got a cuzin that dont eat ANYTHING from the family during the holidays.....

Both my grandmas have diabetes and other issues....

 

[deeznutz93]

People should learn how to cook. It's cheaper, and once you start cook for a while, your food taste way better than any restaurant. You should never be so busy to the point where you can't properly eat. I personally think cooking is relaxing too.

Real talk I question how a lot of these folks were raised.

Let them tell it, they must of grew up eating a plate full of chitlins garnished in fried chicken every night. No vegetables, no variety, no nothing.

Pretty much...getting faced with "if you dont eat THIS, you cant eat that" ultimatums ....prolly some black eyed peas or some shyt lmao

But this is some sort of observation tank for others to get some caricatures of blackness....let this place and the internet at large tell it , black life is rap jordans fried chicken chitlins koolaid grits and sports

Their parents don't cook

This is more likely the reason why a lot of young black people are in that soul food. Because their parents haven't really cooked. Especially a lot of people with young parents. Their mothers really don't even know how to cook
