>fried chicken originating in Scotland and popularized by white plantation owners>A love of McDonald's, hamburger originating from Germany >Preference for saccharine sweets like honey buns, soda, sugar cereal, candy etc none of which were connected to them in originCan any African Americans tell me what the "secret menu" so to speak is? There must be some African cultural food they keep from us
>>21582404Lean or purple drank
>>21582404I read somewhere that in Scotland, someone came up with the idea of coating chocolate bars in batter and frying them in hot oil.Scottish cuisine is strange.

>>21582404Stealing the food
>>21582404>connection to things that are not from their originyou know their roots were erased right? their "origin" was obfuscated and destroyed, so you can't blame them for that. Africans who were not descended from the slave class have a totally different cuisine. American Blacks just eat the shit available to them in their diaspora countries
>>21582404>some African cultural food they keep from usFor me its Buckssy.
>>21582404literally just garbage>boiled bugs with seasnin' (crawfish)>boiled lawnmower clippings (collard greens)>boiled floor scrapings (grits)niggas love to boil they food
>>21582954Yeah, this is pretty accurate. American Blacks basically picked up the pieces of whatever culture they remembered from Africa and merged it with local American cultures. Although now many families are so far removed from their African roots that there are very few cultural similarities to their home countries, if they even know what country they came from.
>>21582965yes and it's sad some of them have this psychological condition of "we wuz" where they claim to be the real native americans, or the real egyptians, or the real jews, or the real olmecs. But i understand why they do it, it's because they were robbed of their actual culture, often sold by their own rulers to the slave traders
>>21582449apparently it first started in Wales but caught on as a novelty in Scotland too but lots of places claim to have been the first. Scots do however also batter and deep fry burgers and pizza
>>21582963>ect*etc>Persian breadMesopotamian. Iraq, not Iran.>TomatoesNightshades, poisonous. Kept as decorative plants until the Italians cross-bred them into something edible>PotatoesNightshades, poisonous. The only people who ate them were native Inca in the Peruvian Andes, until the Prussians (Germany, Poland) came up with varieties that were economically feasible. Read: food for prisoners and hogs. A French POW called Parmentier noticed their potential and began promoting them in the 1760s. In the 1830s they became briefly popular in Paris. The fad died down in 1840 and a clever Bavarian entrepreneur moved his shop from Paris to neighbouring Belgium, where they remained popular ever since.Shut the fuck up and sit back down, NoSL.>>21582983Deep fried pizza is a Neapolitan specialty. It's actually delicious. Mocking Scots for having a similar idea is just silly. Mocking English for jellied eel is equally stupid. The dish is far more popular and widespread in Northern France, Belgium and Southern Netherlands. It looks like shit but it isn't bad at all. On the contrary.
>>21583044>Neapolitanisnt that more like a deep fried calzone?, scots do it different, they batter and fry it the same as fish
>>21582404
>>21582404All of that applies to Americans in general not just black ones. That's because Americans don't actually have a cuisine of their own.
>>21583128pumpkin pie/spice everything
>>21583130Pumpkin spice is just nutmeg, cinnamon, and sugar. Those are spices that have been used for thousands of years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_spiceHere's America's "pumpkin spice."
>>21583132yeah but WITH pumpkin on EVERYTHING
>>21582404If you're totally deracinated and don't cook, everything on the soul food menu is going to be pretty alien except maybe fried chicken and mac and cheese.That said there's not too much on the wikipedia soul food dish menu I didn't see growing up, i.e. that isn't mostly just southern food or just as white Creole as mixed-race - some standouts:- buffalo fish (never heard of it, got lots of ambivalence about bottom-feeding freshwater fish growing up, even catfish)- chitlins (I think this is the canonical example of soul food that White People Don't Eat)- fried okra (we think it's tasty but It's Not The Way We Make It)- hog mawl (other than in schweinebauch when I lived in Europe, now I know where to get the mawl)- sweet potato pieIf you want to know how slaves cooked for the upper crust of colonial French, check out the Picayune Creole Cookbook. PDFs of older editions are on the internet archive and other places.
>>21583137Pumpkin spice doesn't have pumpkin in it.
>>21583262Black pumpkin pie uses sweet potatoes.

Last night I saw niggers claim they invented country music Next they'll claim Peewee Herman was originally blatt
>>21583353Spending time around black people makes you racist for sure. But spending time with, as in actually hanging out with them can kind of endear you to them depending on the circumstance. I'll go to the cookout but still cross the street to get away from a group of them, ya dig?
>>21583424>>i'm ignorant about history that means THEY'RE ERASING MUH HISTOREE!das right

Don’t forget that all of “their” Caribbean food is also Indian in origin Just because you add goat to a curry it doesn’t make it blackWhere do you think that those spice mixes came from nigga
>>21582404Are they really claiming they invented burgers now? Never heard of that before.
Black food unironically sucks - which is why you’ll never see a Nigerian or Kenyan restaurant in your local city.The only thing blacks can do is make music with the help of white instruments and Jewish production / promotion

>>21583801Ethiopian food is kind of ok. But it's just a vastly inferior version of persian food to be honest.

>>21584446Underrated crusty post
america is a young country and our cuisine hasn't had a lot of time to develop organically compared to its roots in england, france, germany, etc. there are popular african dishes like jollof rice, doro wat, and shit like that but they're not widespread in America because of differences in ingredient availability in the new world and cultural assimilation

>>21582404I love that in the ad is clearly stated that there's no tipping in order to attract the blacks.
>>21583088not always shaped like a calzone
>>21584418Yeah there's a lot of "we wuz" in lists of African American food contributions, but their takes on things can be pretty distinct.You're right that blackeyed peas and other cowpeas almost certainly came from Africa as part of the slave trade.Okra very likely also, but it was known in southern Europe and I have a pet theory that it might have been, like watermelon, first cultivated in North America by Spanish settlers.A lot of the cured meats in soul food - pickled pig's feet, souse, etc - come from the PA Dutch.Johnnycakes are just colonial American but every region has its own style and I would expect the soul food version to be distinctSweet potato pie was just southern but seems to be more identified with soul food every year - I blame big canned pumpkin and generational trauma
