Chicago, man. And I mean all total. I've never gotten a cheap plate, and god forbid it's more bone and fat than meat. Be ready to come back with the thang and light that place up.

That’s good that you’re going for that lifestyle. I too live a pretty decent life if I do say so myself....Its all of these things. Add sodium to that list.
I like my greens with ham hock or salt pork.
But I also sauté my kale.
There are no clothes that "used to be exclusievly worn by Whites," Black Americans literally invented hipsters, they were copy-cats from the beatniks trying to be as cool as the urban Black people of the 40s, and there's nothing wrong with eating high-end food.
What does it mean to live like my Elders, anyway? My paternal elders grew up sharecropping in AlabamaI'm good on that lifestyle.
My paternal grandparents were college educated Black middle-class/upper-middle class, that's the life I'm going for
But I’m not dissing the young bucks out there, nor am I saying eating at high end places is a bad thing, I was just clarifying how a lot of young people out there think. Hey I’m not even that old my nikka. Will be 31 in 3 months.

not gonna lie... i like some soul food but i dont fukk with all the random animal cuts and meats. give me prime cuts. miss me with those tails and guts and feet delicacies. i understand why slaves had to do it but miss me with it.
Wow Soul Food is not "unhealthy." It depends on how it's prepared. The finest athletes that ever walked the Earth we raised on Soul Food. Ya'll straight bugging.
Soul food isn't slave food. It's southern food.
well damnConnected as much as y’all was wearing African medallions while serving your people crack huh

were slaves not mostly southern? does it not have roots from southern slaves?
Everyone in the south ate the same type of food.
It's mainly those fake bourgeoisie types. They would rather claim Korean BBQ and Hummus than claim soul food. Meanwhile white folks out here making major $$$ selling our shyt back to us and others once it becomes 'cool' like how Chicken and Waffles was considered the pinnacle of 'Ghetto - culture' until Ashton Kutcher started going to Roscoe's....
Anyways, soul food isn't just 7 cheese mac and fried chicken and collard greens. Shrimp or Crayfish Etouffee, Courtbouillon, Boudin of course shrimp and grits and Gumbo and okra and black-eye peas, sauteed cabbage...a lot of lighter stuff in there too. A lot of black people IMO are ashamed of 'soul-food' and are quick to hype up the food of other cultures. They'll even hype up the food of other diaspora cultures when a lot of the influence is the exact same, and yet, you don't here Jamacians putting down 'macaroni pie' or 'rice and peas' or anything....
Also, why does everyone go to the stereotypical 'big mama's house' dinner when they talk about soul food? Every-day 'soul food' was collard greens and cornbread or rice and a turkey wing and homemade gravy or rice and beans.... it's not always heavy and artery clogging...

we all know they didn't give slaves prime cuts.
In the United States, chitterlings are part of the Southern United States culinary tradition commonly called "soul food. When slavery was legal in America, slave owners commonly fed their slaves as cheaply as possible. At hog butchering time, the best cuts of meat were kept for the master's household and the remainder, such as fatback, snouts, ears, neck bones, feet, and intestines, were given to the slaves.

All the foods listed there don't need to be consumed to enjoy soul food. I've never had any of them yet have consumed plenty of soul food.
