That article you posted is one woman spitting historical inaccuracies with no backing facts just like you.
She’s in Maryland, she probably got the same pamphlet.
The last paragraph even further confirms what we’ve all been trying to tell some of y’all this whole time.
It wasn’t slave food, its a food that was enjoyed by black, white, rich and poor in the South and in different variations all over the world.
I’ve done a little research years ago on plantation society and remember that most of what we consider “soul food” today the slaves were not even eating back then. I agree, I don’t recall seeing chitlins as being consumed with any regularlity among most slaves. And for those that did eat them, it probably depended on the region.
The slave diet consisted mainly of some combination of corn meal or corn mesh, salt pork, and molasses. And even this may have varied by location.
I think it’s inaccurate to say, though, that slaves from Texas were eating the same things that the slaves from Maryland were eating.
