They know that their shitty cuisine is based around what garbage the slaveowners gave to the slaves right? Fuck soul food, the stuff is garbage food.

Not to mention my brother has gained nearly 70 pounds in the two years he's been married.

>Good eats all my life
>Marry white American
>Hubby has AA friend (African-American)
>We talk about food
>I say, "What the hell is fried chicken??"
>Conversation stops...even Husband looks at me
>AA guy tells me the 'wonders' of soul food

O beautiful
for pecan pies
for amber waves of mac and cheese
for gravy biscuits majesties
above thy corn cob plains

Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeerica
God shed his cornbread on theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
and crown thy collard greens
with candied yams
from mashed potato sea to shining BBQ riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibs
