Eh... you don’t stop being southern after you move to another area of the country. Southerness is a culture.

There were no northern influenced factors that contributed to the creation of rib tips. It was just something that was created by former residents of Mississippi. I still consider that southern even if it was created outside of the south.

And you see it with other foods. Orange Chicken was developed here in America, but still consider Chinese. And Tex Mex is still considered Mexican.

That anology is tricky because in the US we tend to associate foreign nationalities with ethnicities whereas we don't do the same thing with states or regions here in the US.

Pizza(as we know it today) and even philly cheese steaks were created by italian americans in america, not italy and therefore are italian, but no one is going to refer to someone with MS parents as MSpian or me as a louisianaian.

So, rib tips like bean pies and C&W are simply soul food/AA cuisine. Adding "southern rooted" to that is redundant seeing as %99 percent of AADOS alive today have roots in the south. It'd be like talking about "black nigerian food". Like is there even non black nigerian food to compare it to?

Breh, there's a whole world out there enjoying our shyt without us even knowing about it. Our culture just seems to always grow legs of it's own and spread all over the world even though we rarely immigrate to other countries.

I say other since AA/ADOS kitchen is basically hybrid versions of diaspora food anyways..there is an regional equivalent for almost every dish we eat in the carribean,AA falls under that umbrella too.Travel through some countries and you will see for yourself.Rice/beans,plantain,greens,chitlins,fried chicken,sweet patato pie,baked beans,yams,okra there is an OG or equivalent version somewhere in the world for all those dishes and yes it's the best food in the world to me,every region has it's own version but it's the same food basically..

Chicken and Waffles, oh gloriosa aportación del Soul Food, de la comida del suroeste de los Estados Unidos. Esto es justo lo que Jaxon´s Chicken and Waffle nos trae a la CDMX en la colonia Roma, un pedacito de esta tradición gastronómica llena de amor y calorías; un sueño para los que amamos el desayuno a cualquier hora del día.

Fun Fact

Se le conoce como “Soul Food” es un estilo de cocina del sureste de los Estados Unidos, que tiene como origen la cocina hecha por los esclavo y cuenta con mucha influencia europea y africana. El término “soul” se populariza a mediados de 1960 ya que así es como se describía a la cultura Afroamericana en ese momento.

A common argument against Soul Food I’ve seen when this topic comes up is that it’s not “international” compared to other cuisines.

a damn lie that I put on blast before.




Also, people need to stop trying to separate regional and/or sub-types of soul food from the greater soul-food tradition.

Southern BBQ, with it's signature bbq sauce and pork , is very much an AA originated tradition.

Louisiana/gulf coast creole cuisine, or "cajun" as it's often mistakenly called here in H-town, is without a doubt a sub type of the soul food cuisine.


yup, I spoke on this before in another thread

soul food is a generic term for any/all afram based foods that can range from gulf coast to low country-sea islands cuisine

:patrice:

Soul food = Southern American Cuisine

Why is it so hard to imagine that there are restaurants dedicated to southern american cuisine in other countries? Marcus Samuelson opened up a second restaurant in London that started in Harlem which serves southern food. Other black American expats may have done the same thing.


facts

southern cuisine on the whole is afram influenced but the labels have people confused

when white people make it = gets called southern cuisine

when aframs make it = gets called soul food

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.
