Best Soul Food Dishes. What to eat in Southern United States?

Soul food – a cuisine that fuses West Africa, Western Europe and the Americas – is no stranger to controversy. Though the label floated around black culture at least a decade earlier, “soul food” had its breakout moment in the 1960s when Black Power advocates declared their independence from the narrative forced upon African Americans by white hegemony. Food was included in that ambitious project. Soul food was presented to the world as a cuisine wholly distinct from southern food, even though they shared common ingredients, culinary techniques, and history. Today we’re going to tell you about the most iconic soul food dishes.

    I grew up on Soul Food but mines from Hillbilly and some White Trash relatives living in the Ozarks of Missouri & Arkansas.

    If you're going to make political statements regarding food, then don't "culturally appropriate" food that was part of an entire culture's experience and not just a segment of it. Several of your "most iconic soul food dishes" are just straight up Southern cooking.

    I love cornbread but being a diabetic I have to watch my carb count. However, there is a recipe where almond flour is used, and the taste is pretty close to traditional cornbread. But without the carbs.

    Sugar or honey cornbread is cake. Stop the madness. Further pumpkin pie and stuffing has never been southern, we do cornbread dressing.

    Fried chicken, Mac and cheese, and collard greens makeup my perfect soul food plate hahaha! I gotta finish with a big slice of sweet potato pie 🥧 at the end 🤤

    It irritates me when folks don't know what they're talking about. The ONLY thing on that list that is actually soul food is "hoppin' John". All the rest are basic Southern food. Real soul food is things like ox tails, chitterlings and okra and tomato stew. Fried chicken is NOT soul food. Macaroni and cheese is NOT soul food. Greens are NOT soul food. We ALL eat that down here. To be genuine soul food, it must be a dish that was INVENTED by Southern black folks. Only that is REAL soul food.

    A funny story. Growing up I was raised by my mom who was full blood Cherokee. My dad was a Caucasian and lived out in Los Angeles California and was a truck driver. When I was 18 I went out to spend time with my dad and travel the countryside. One time we stopped in Salt Lake City and had a one night layover. We were parked nearby the agency and dad said lets walk down the block a little ways there's a nice cafeteria we can eat supper at. So we walked down to it and dad opened the door and stepped inside and then he hollered "oh sh!+" and turned around right fast and shoved me back out the door and said we don't want Soul Food. I looked at the wording on the door and seen the wording "Soul Food" on the door and then I noticed several black people sitting at tables inside. And I asked "What's soul food?" My dad replied "that's black people food".
    Well I had never heard the term soul food before and for years, probably a decade or more, I always wondered what soul food was. Then one day I was in this big buffet type of restaurant that had all kinds of food. There was American food over in this section, chinese food over in that section, Mexican in that section, Italian over here, and at the very end was a sign that said "SOUL FOOD".
    I thought finally I'm going to get to see what soul food is. So i walked over and my bottom jaw dropped down with disbelief. I looked it all over and I told myself "what! This is the same stuff my momma cooked while I was growing up". I couldn't believe it, my momma cooked soul food. Then I got to thinking "Is there something my momma never told me".

    Ummmm! I'm looking so forward to Soul cooking on a regular specifically for my Soul-mate's health & enjoyment. Also, to teach him about the importance of healthy foods for good health throughout his entire life. 😁
