Yams and Okra are delicious… just not together

That's a pretty dumb comparison and compared to others you are quite intelligent for this board. I have lived here for 20 some years breh. Best friends, exes etc I've eaten in their homes, watched food preparation out of curiosity etc. You cannot tell me I cannot comment. I have every right to and if u lived i ghana for 20 years and by extension adopted/experienced different parts of the culture u would have a right to comment. I am speaking from a broad perspective of experience. Living in Chicago, NC.. visiting louisiana to visit my exes peoples etc. (Those are a few) Furthermore, nas cornel west and others are part of your culture and have labeled soul food as slave food. Do u have any contention with them labeling it as such?

What exactly did you eat?

What im trying to get at is, all soul food, like 90%, have no origins to slave food. The black contribution to whats called "southern" food is vastly undermined. Most of our food comes from under that umbrella, not slave food

Word.

I think it's shortsighted at best and damn near disrespectful at worst to deny the black contribution and lump it all as slave food.
