As a black American, I want to thank these queens, which made me happy to know our food is beloved. I wish my grandmothers and grandfathers were still alive to see these they would appreciate this. Especially because this is what they cooked a lot of these foods and dishes for our family. they grew up on these meals, especially growing up in the South. However, food is the universal language.And bringing cultures together or in some caseBut however, food is the universal language. Of bringing cultures together in some case.
I’ve been to the white cookouts right down the road and it’s kinda refreshing to see the history behind what black and white southerners may share, or really just many parts of a diverse culture being represented among different ethnic groups. Obviously, there’s white influence in southern cuisine but at the white cookouts I’ve been to, they also cook ham hocks, black eyed peas, okra, etc, things with more of a black history. And it’s just normal.. been that way for generations and generations. This is why I’m so proud to have been born in the south. There’s history that should’ve ruined this country as a whole, but somewhere along the line, black, white, native and many Hispanic southerners also, really just kinda merged in a sense. There’s cultural differences, but so many similarities which is just a beautiful thing.
@@christianbryant5617 , I agree and want to remind people that the Native Americans need to be honored in Southern food especially because,they were the ones to introduce grits ,certain styles of BBQ as well as beans, squash, pumpkins,sweet potatoes and peanuts.Many people are not aware that peanuts originally are from South America.
Not just beautiful and classy, they enjoyed our food (and Lord knows we love theirs), it was so touching to know that they knew our history. This made my great day even greater. Thank you for this video. I have a taste for some oxtails now, though.
Yassss honey boom! I love that they got the answers right & enjoyed the food. Just made chicken enchiladas the other day. Going to make soul food tomorrow. Grew up on both cultures food. ❤
Tbh a lot of us mexican americans grew up like yall a lot of my héroes are black. I always have deep convos with my black coworkers. They're not even surprised how much I know about black history to me its history anf american history to be exact. Much love brotha
Assuming they're Mexican American, in which case they should know the answers to these very basic American history questions. But glad they enjoyed the food.
As an African American, I’ve been waiting for this for a very long time. I’m so glad that they tried our food on this channel 🙌🏾 Happy Juneteenth everyone!! ❤️🖤💚
I don't know why I teared up a little. Soul food is my culture. Mexican food is my favorite next to that. We are so similar as a people in our ways and our souls. Much love always to Mexican queens and culture .
@@RinaTerrel u mean the same way colorism exists in the african american community? should everybody hate lighter skinned black ppl bc of how they treat the darker skinned AAs ? think before u speak on other cultures.
Mexican cuisine and soul food have a lot in common, just like Mexican culture and Black culture. My friend brought some Pozole from his abuelita for me to try, and it gave me the same warm and cozy feeling when I ate it like when I eat my own family's comfort food . ❤❤
Its cause our roots are closer than most would think! A lot of these cooking styles come from Africa, especially using rice and beans together. Its really cool to see how recipes havw evolved depending on your geography! I watched a video where they compared soul food to african dishes and you can find a matching recipe for almost all of them.
What?! This "soul food" is stolen cuisines from different cultures. Please tell me what cuisine that blacks created/invented and I will run down the list of what Mexicans have created, eat everyday, and have other cultures including blacks using their recipes.
Monica, you are invited to the cookout anytime! Your elation to the food made my heart swell up and my memories of people stopping by our house just to see what my Mama was cooking that day. This included workers from the USPS, electric company gas company, all of them. Lots of services were delayed because their workers were eating in our kitchen instead of heading out to their sites. The word got around to their coworkers too. Back then, inviting a stranger in to eat was just normal and safer too. No one left without a good meal, and an extra plate to take with them. I miss you, Mama! Rest in Paradise.
Their general knowledge of Black History was actually impressive. And up until the Juneteenth question these ladies were not guessing they knew the correct answer for sure. I am humbled and would like to reciprocate by learning a little more about Mexican history. Thank you ladies 🤗
Here’s some Black Mexican history: the first free Black settlement in the Americas was in Mexico, the town of Yanga in the state of Veracruz founded in the 1500s and there was an Underground Railroad that helped several thousand formerly enslaved Blacks escape to Mexico.
@@ChicanoPhD this is so true! I watched a doc that Henry Louis Gates narrated discussing the number of folks in Veracruz that are of African descent. Two of my ancestors escaped on the UGRR, but they fled to free states. However, I am very interested in those who escaped to Mexico. Can you please point me to some academic sources that focus on this flight to Mexico?
@@kimberlyross6688 I just read an academic text titled, “South to Freedom” by Alice Baumgartner. Amazing text. I teach Chicanx Studies and always incorporate Afro-Mexican material in my curriculum. That documentary about the Black history of Latin America by Dr. Gates is essential viewing for everyone.
Who doesn't love soul food,lol.. Candied Yams and Collard Greens with some Louisiana hot sauce and cornbread to dip in the pot liquor, lol.. Don't forget the sweet potato pie.
What’s the difference between soul food and southern food if I may ask? From a southerner to another southerner I presume, I’m just curious as to what your take is..
@@christianbryant5617 Soul food comes specifically from the enslaved African/Black people in the US. Most of it was made out of necessity because they were only allowed scraps for food. Southern food adopted elements soul food so the lines can be blurry. IE Fried chicken, collard greens, Mac n cheese, etc. can be found in soul food restaurants & southern restaurants.
@@christianbryant5617 Soul food usually uses more economical cuts of meat with more of an emphasis on slow cooking and deep frying, but it's more a black family favorites menu of food once originated, developed, embellished and cooked by slaves more than the melting pot that is creole and Cajun. And it's not so much about BBQ. But BBQ, Creole, Cajun, soul food, Gulla Geechie, are all heavily influenced by African recipes, crops and labor. Not one Southern chef worth their salt will try to pull the "soul" out of southern cuisine nor should they omit the contributions of all cultures that contributed to Southern cuisine with so many very special recipes, ingredients and techniques.
On behalf of my ancestors, thank you for all the gratitude 🙏🏽 for these to be recipes that were considered scraps and it has now become a staple food and more appreciated … the blood sweat tears and “feet” we sacrificed (iykyk) , little things like this make it all worth it ❤
Cuts of meat like oxtails and pigs feet were the inexpensive cuts that the majority of the white population didn't buy back then. So my Mexican mom would buy these along with beef tongue and chittlins (tripas), too. It partly explains why there is a lot of crossover. Our families didn't have much, but they made the most with what they had. Of course, now those cuts of meats are not cheap anymore.
This makes me smile cause me and my Mexican friends always joke that we are related in some kind of way lol I love Mexican food and culture and they love black American food and culture.
Muchas gracias to the three mamahs. Warms my heart that they loved the soul food. There is always similarity in various cultures. We just have to open our minds and explore. To the mamahs; if y’all ever come to the south, I make a mean banana pudding cheesecake 😉
I’m literally ecstatic seeing these beautiful women enjoy our food , know our culture , & be excited about It ! I love Mexican food and culture and am always trying to learn more . I’m still smiling rn 😭😭🫶🏾
It makes me so happy to see another culture enjoy the food I grew up eating and love it too! I know we share a lot between the cultures, but to see them love the differences warmed my spirit!
As a black American this video just warms my heart You're definitely invited to the cookout And make sure you're bringing the tacos and the chicharones all the good goods and we can party together🎉🎉🎉
I’m so happy to know they enjoyed our foods! Our ancestors made the best they could out of very little. They poured skill and love into to those dishes. Monica, I absolutely adored you! Felt like I was watching a family member. I love Mexican food too! It’s one of my favorite pallets 😊
As a black woman in America I’m so happy to see that they didn’t confuse authentic soul food with the colonized gentrified version “southern food”. I love Mexican food just as much as I love soul food. Watch all the yt people come to the comments to call soul food “southern food”, like they came up with these recipes 😂
But isn’t like fried chicken with waffles a southern dish? I know that the yams, collard greens, beans are soul food. But I thought fried chicken was an all southern food. I’m not sure that’s why I’m asking. Thanks.
@@shaportueng7156 it was gentrified by yt southerners after slaves where freed. Yt ppl didn’t create it, hell they didn’t even know how to cook for themselves let alone create a dish. The sad part is, it’s been so white washed that it does confuse people so I understand why you ask. It’s a valid question
@@Amberrechelle they even calling themselves creole now too and Gullah geechee in SC. They need to stop!!!! They only claiming creole food because they don’t want yall to be seen as the blueprint for which yall are 💙
As a black man, I do love seeing Mexican ppl try soul food! My favorite cuisine is Mexican and I grew up immersed in Mexican culture. This is beautiful!
Grits is from native Americans 🇺🇸. You didn’t know because it’s a lie. Grits isn’t Mexican, it’s comes from native Americans and it’s South Carolina’s cuisine.
I wish they could’ve also tried dressing, Mac and cheese, and peach cobbler. But I’m glad they enjoyed our food. Bc as a black person I love, love, love, Mexican food!
Xóchitl: Dulce o salado. Nunca combinados. México: Mole con pollo, dulces mexicanos (chile, tamarindo, azúcar.) mangoneadas (mango con chamoy y chilito), etc.
I love that they added oxtails and rice. It’s been attached to ONLY African food lately and it’s being a southern (African American /Black American)food since slavery.
I smiled through this whole video! We have pride in our food & I’m sure it’s the same with our hispanic brothers & sisters! I love Hispanic food as well!! ❤
@@glencora6340That's more Gulf South. I lived in S. Louisiana but grew up in N. Georgia so no andouille, yes, we use more salt pork, ham hock and even streak'o'lean 😂.
I used to have a Mexican best friend and I would go to their house and eat all the time. Every time my family had a party she would go crazy for the food. Her parents would even tell her to bring food back for them because they love our cooking as well 💙 love this for both cultures.
I grew up eating all these foods. My mom is from Wakeeny, Kansas, and my stepdad is from Yuma, Arizona. This was normal for us. So I suppose we ate soul food. It is delicious! 😚💜✌️
As an American BM I love classic ethnic momma foods. I had a German nanny, an Italian momma (friends of her son), a Mexican momma (also friend), and Cantonese momma (dated her daughter)... and a foster Southern Grandma (neighbor). All those women threw DOWN!
Black food is soooooo beautiful and not subject to just America. We have African American, African cuisine, Caribbean and our food has influenced so many other cultures, regardless of if we get the credit we deserve or not. Such a beautiful thing to see.
The black student union at my school was one of the most popular organizations. Their two major annual events were Apollo Night (a talent show where anyone was allowed to perform), and a soul food dinner, hosted by the faculty advisor of the club in his on-campus apartment. The inclusion factor really mattered. Well, and the food was always amazing.
Guy, you’re not serious right?? IT VERY MUCH IS AMERICAN CUISINE. That’s like saying why is feijoada credited as Brazilian cuisine when it came from Africans. Y’all just be sayin anything in these comment sections.
@@Therockfan30 Most so called Afro Americans ARE indigenous. Which is why they know and have been using these ingredients since before they even knew about the siberians
I grew up on all of this food. Thank you, guys, for showing our culture favorably. I love this series and have been watching it for the longest. I love the mamis
I like that many of these dishes were very similar to other cultures dishes such as greens, yams, adding rice to dishes. It really shows how some cultures are tied together despite having some differences.
I bet they ain't scared -- they've all eaten menudo, which has tripe and sometimes pig's feet in there. and they have a version of chitlins called tripas.
We eat chitterlings! or "tripa" usually fried to a crisp on a flat grill to make some tacos. Add cilantro, onion, lime, and avocado green salsa = party in your mouth. As a Mexican, my favorite kind of taco 2nd is al pastor. Just make sure to ask for them to be "doraditos" or fry hard 🔥
As a Mexican American first generation born in the United States growing up with African American friends here In Arizona soul food is part of who I am… not just food but culture too and I love that whenevr I go back to Mexico to visit I can share to my ppl about your food music culture ❤

Mexicans are *chefs kiss* so glad my family has both cultures.
As an American BM I love classic ethnic momma foods. I had a German nanny, an Italian momma (friends of her son), a Mexican momma (also friend), and Cantonese momma (dated her daughter)... and a foster Southern Grandma (neighbor). All those women threw DOWN!
Black food is soooooo beautiful and not subject to just America. We have African American, African cuisine, Caribbean and our food has influenced so many other cultures, regardless of if we get the credit we deserve or not. Such a beautiful thing to see.
Yassssss. Black food and history. I loved this episode so muchhhh😩😭😭
Whoever made those dishes can cook for me anytime. Everything looks amazing.
It's too bad Lulu wasn't in this episode I know she would have been queening OUT to this food
Yeah foo.
Pretty sure there is nothing that can top soul food, great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
They knew more about the American history questions than most Americans would.
The black student union at my school was one of the most popular organizations. Their two major annual events were Apollo Night (a talent show where anyone was allowed to perform), and a soul food dinner, hosted by the faculty advisor of the club in his on-campus apartment. The inclusion factor really mattered. Well, and the food was always amazing.
I love these ladies bring them back 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I knew they would love it because Mexican food is also very delicious and well-seasoned.
I've been waiting for this video! I feel like African American cultural foods are overlooked or credited as "American Cuisine"
Guy, you’re not serious right?? IT VERY MUCH IS AMERICAN CUISINE.
That’s like saying why is feijoada credited as Brazilian cuisine when it came from Africans.
Y’all just be sayin anything in these comment sections.
Grits and cornbread comes from native Americans but enslaved Africans incorporated it into their dishes.
@@Therockfan30 Most so called Afro Americans ARE indigenous. Which is why they know and have been using these ingredients since before they even knew about the siberians
Yeah they are !! Or they called " southern"
@@Therockfan30Nope, definitely not true. When you look at west African food, you can see that grits and the use of grains are common .
So respectful of the culture & food...thank you queens..
The same way they enjoy the soul food is how I feel eating asada tacos with green sauce. I LOVE YALL
I grew up on all of this food. Thank you, guys, for showing our culture favorably. I love this series and have been watching it for the longest. I love the mamis
What is your favorite soul food dish?
I'm a fool for good fried chicken. But I'm like Xóchitl- no combining sweet with my chicken!
So glad you did the wrap-up at the end (what they liked best)!
Fried catfish!
Fried Chicken wings, mac & cheese, yams, collard greens & peach cobbler for dessert
would you please do mexican moms try pakistani dishes next? like Shik kebab, Nihari, Biriyani etc
I like that many of these dishes were very similar to other cultures dishes such as greens, yams, adding rice to dishes. It really shows how some cultures are tied together despite having some differences.
I’m glad I found this video it just warmed my heart watching them enjoy the food and to see they know black history
I’m Black, and I love Mexican food. The spice. The flavors. All the fresh ingredients. Love it!
Love this channel! Mamahs are the Best ❤❤❤❤
You can have all the fancy food in the world, but nothing compares to good old fashioned cooking
They need to try chitterlings & pigeon peas & rice.Another soul food delicacy!
I bet they ain't scared -- they've all eaten menudo, which has tripe and sometimes pig's feet in there. and they have a version of chitlins called tripas.
Nahhh idk about all that lol. Might be a bridge too far
We eat chitterlings! or "tripa" usually fried to a crisp on a flat grill to make some tacos. Add cilantro, onion, lime, and avocado green salsa = party in your mouth. As a Mexican, my favorite kind of taco 2nd is al pastor. Just make sure to ask for them to be "doraditos" or fry hard 🔥
@@RobertoReyesChHC Omg! I never knew tripe and chitlins were the same - I guess we really do have more in common than I thought 🤣💞
Maybe even some pork brains and sause meat😅😅😅
It's cool that she said that she was going to try to cook it herself.
The lady in the floral top named all the answers by their first name, like they were friends😆😆
Sweet and salty is chocolate with sea salt . Yummy
As a Mexican American first generation born in the United States growing up with African American friends here In Arizona soul food is part of who I am… not just food but culture too and I love that whenevr I go back to Mexico to visit I can share to my ppl about your food music culture ❤
Good to see this episode! Who doesn't like soul food?
I loved all the ladies, but the woman with the long red hair just made my heart smile❤❤❤
This episode made me; it was great seeing how every1 enjoyed the food 😌🫶🏾🫶🏾💗💗🥰😊
What beautiful ladies enjoying our cuisine! May we all love & respect one another Always 🙌🏾❤
I love this! We should do this more to learn each other's culture and history.
