See the word "soul" and I know it's some poser with little talent feeding to feel full, maybe with love, but no sensibilities.
See the word "southern" and I know someone understands their farm to table vegetables and lots of them, baking with bacon fat and butter, how to cook a hog, and will vary the textures, tastes and flavors on their bountiful plate to hit everyone note, from the pickle to the bread, no matter the price, though it may be little, it will make sense. There won't be one double starch on the Southern plate. They'd simply vary the starch each day for variety, but never 2 at once.

FRENCH
Black colonys = French speaking
From sucky French cars in the 80s to Parisian brands of pocketbooks or fashion. Haitians, all of North African french congo, etc, and where ever else the black skinned french speaking French were incl the South in the USA who descended out of Louisiana. It was class societies, all of them. Being born less for just being born less (wealthy).
The people to aspire to be of the made it! finally in the rich world. to feel rich treat yourself to things make feel good. Marketing falls victim more easily to certain people when they are targeted and they already feel inferior. IF you were a person in black culture, you'd see how there are more ads for menthol cigarettes, french perfume, and monogram prints on items versus just well tailored items in a solid color with the logo tag not even visible. It's marketing. If you were gay and read gay print media, you'd see more boxy industrial militant looking Cube cars, just for another analogy. Someone influential can make them wish to think they should order a Cristal because they heard in rap lyrics "gin and juice" and french brandies are good with Orange juice (really? ick), or the poor man's Boone's Farm version of brandy, the Alize.

It's actually from the northeast.
Southerners love their veggies so much, so they co-opted it. I grew up among very good cooks in my family, with grandmas that had butter beans, lima beans, and a bunch of heirloom beans going at the freezer at all times, and corn that was shucked back on the porch, or snap peas snapped out by the grandkids by the brown paper bag all whining and complaining, etc. Trust me when it's not actually Southern, just has southern ingredients and we make it too :P Think of it as a staple on the Northern thanksgiving table, though right up there with the summer indian corn pudding or the Colonial Spoonbread.

It's alright, grew up eating soul food. Most black people don't know how to make true soul food cause most niggas can't cook for shit and I'll die by this. As much as blacks love fried chicken you would be hard pressed to find any that can fry them to perfection. A lot of it is overseasoned garbage that isn't even prepped properly. Most "soul food" places serve canned products and frozen meat. It's not something you can just go to a restaurant and get a good quality of. I assume this is the same with italian food, most of them just fuck the flavor up and then it's all bad.

All of that stuff you listed is common obviously. Just because you didn't eat it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist or that no one else did.

Co-opt. Learn culinary history cheflet...souls food was good meant for slaves from masters. They gave them every undesirable food. However, the black slaves had to twist it to become palatable. Through innovation they created this genre of food. Then as with everything else in black culture. White people vultured it and copied it and then tried to make it cool. That’s why today you see white rib joints and fanaticism on this cuisine of the south. Also, they took music, blues, ie., amongst other styles.

Hennessy was a marketing campaign aligned with HipHop to solely take advantage of the ignorant people. That’s all. Educated black people know damn well the scheme.

Not that "Slate" is a trustworthy source by itself, but another perspective:

>Cognac’s relationship with African-American consumers started later, when black soldiers stationed in southwest France were introduced to it during both world wars. The connection between cognac producers and black consumers was likely bolstered by the arrival of black artists and musicians like Josephine Baker, who filled Paris clubs with jazz and blues during the interwar years, according to Dr. Emory Tolbert, a history professor at Howard University. France appreciated these distinctive art forms before the U.S. did, continuing a French tradition dating back to Alexis de Tocqueville of understanding aspects of American culture better than Americans did. For African-Americans, the elegant cognac of a country that celebrated their culture instead of marginalizing it must have tasted sweet. Back in the states, the more common option was whiskey, a spirit made by companies that named brands after Confederate leaders or appealed to southern nationalism with labels such as Rebel Yell. It’s no wonder many African-Americans found that cognac left a better taste in their mouths.

Braised pork hock and pork trotters are really good even though these links don't have them. "Soul food" does tend to just boil and dump everything together being lazy nigger food and all, so a lot of recipes can be drastically improved by using classic cooking techniques.

In my city these are called "hot plates". its just niggers spending their 500 dollars of food stamps on shit to cook and sell, making easily a ten dollar profit per foodstamp dollar. usually foodstamps sell for at most 50 cents to the dollar, its just a scam nigs pull because the transactions are cash off the books and then they buy dumb nig shit like tvs and shoes.
