    Btw, I love how this is a Black-owned TH-cam Channel. But I have to say cornbread (hoecakes) corn wheat lard isn’t traditionally West African.
    It is actually Indigenous American. Cheyenne, Arapaho, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Blackfoot and Iroquois.
    They contributed to the making of sawing corn from the fields. And plowing corn. Which they will take some and pummel it into dried wheat.
    What we call it lasses. It isn’t traditionally West African. It is a Indigenous dish. Created by the Chickasaw Tribe in Virginia to South Carolina.

    I would also add that it is a bit mythological to state that cooking with pig intestines and feet is part of slave scraps inventing something new. Cooking with the pig is a result of adopting a European domesticated animal but West Africans cook with salted meat and fish scraps in stews with vegetables and have dishes that included stewed intestines, tongue, feet, tail, etc. So, what changed was the animal from say a cow, fish, or goat to a pig not necessarily the means of cooking vegetables and legumes with meat scraps.

      The majority of the slaves sold into slavery were sold by other Africans. This doesn't seem very accurate. The recipes that originate in soul food have ingredients that originate from the Americas. Plus a lot of their recipes are similar to Mexican origin. What they call "chitlins"; Mexicans call "tripas" Ect.

    Uh. Cow breeds of the Americas originally came from Africa and are the reason why "cowboys" were of often African descent and words such as "lasso" (rope, a Fulani word) found their way into American English. Cattle rearing wasn't European. Like zero communities in northern Europe were known for cattle rearing before the late 1400s. Africa has is the oldest record of cheese making as well. The Americas - especially Texas and even into South America has short/longhorn taurine that is uniquely African till this day. Europeans raised smaller animals like goats, sheep, and lamb. They weren't known for cattle rearing in the colonial era but Africans reared cows many millennia ago. There's even a 2013 study of paint made from bovine milk in South Africa dating to 49k years before the present. Traditional Africans throughout the continent still have cattle-reliant communities in every part of the continent.

We believe the video was clear on pinpointing how foods from Africa traveled to the Americas and became foods that were used in the Americas. There are reference links in the description area of this video that you can check out and perhaps read more in depth some of the books or articles we used to create this episode. Lastly, there isn’t “slave” food only food or meals that were prepared or created during that period of time by enslaved Africans or we could say enslaved black folk throughout the African Diaspora. Once again we encourage you to watch the video again and check out the reference section within the description area of this episode. Subscribe to the channel & check out other episodes 👍

First, these videos have resource links in the video description area for you to READ hence go deeper into the topic discussed in the episode. Second, the video didn’t say people on the continent of Africa cooked “soul food” its giving the origins of where some of the foods in American soul food cuisine came from and what the ancestors held onto from generations past.

Watermelon is a fruit and unfortunately historical racist tropes have caused some people to feel triggered about people of African descent eating watermelon because it seems like a "stereotype" but there is nothing inherently wrong with eating watermelon and what enslaved Africans used to eat that was an ancestral food that they used as a form of survival within American slavery is not shameful in the least bit.

      @@Rudebwoy64 watch the video again please because it appears you missed something...please read up on this subject before you just make blanket statements that aren't founded in fact. Sounds like you're stripping away the enslaved ancestors dignity and the millions of black folks of today in North America by stating they have no traditional cuisine. So you're saying the very people that cooked most of the meals in the South during American Slavery did not create cuisine that overall masses at that time didn't enjoy? So you're saying the way black people in the south cook is the same way white people in the south cook? Soul food is inherently a part of the African American experience. You saying soul food is not real its just simply Southern food is like saying rap music is not black music it's just New York music or American music. That wouldn't sound accurate. Soul food comes in various forms as well, ever heard of Creole/Cajun cuisine, Gullah cuisine, Kansas City BBQ? Once again please read up on African American History and that's the reason why this channel exists to hopefully educate folks on African American History/Culture if they are truly interested in it. It's a rich history and we at Deeper Than Read are proud to share that history with others. Lastly, most other Afro-ethnic cuisines come from the same origins as Soul Food; remember enslaved Africans were not just shipped to North America; the diaspora spans Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. So those other cuisines that seem inherently more "real" to you have the same basic origins as soul food 👍 so there's no "better than" mentality to have about cuisines from other areas its all black rooted and all part of a rich history which should be celebrated not debated 😀

It Came from the West Indies a French woman seen the slave in the Caribbean making it she took it and ran with it. What I notice is only the South is cooking this type of food particularly if you go to any other states north or west or mid west does African-American always talking about soul food from the south so this is not a national type of dish for African-Americans supposedly it’s just a southern dish yes Africans contribute to the dish for ass okra and black eye peas etc. it’s like saying the African Jamaicans invented curry chicken which is not true the Indians brought it to Jamaica we adopted it and now it’s a Jamaican dish same as the jerk chicken seasoning it was both created by Indians and Africans who made the season. I see the Black people in Louisiana keep the African heritage with their food what makes it will culture far as any other southern food and cajun or however you want to say it is not even soul food is its own thing that’s why they called them self creole. I really don’t see no heavy African influence So how can this food be African-American food?

      Respectfully we disagree. Glad you dived in and watched an episode feel free to watch other episodes. In the description area of this episode and every episode is an area of references for where the information was derived to create the episode so viewers can go deeper (than read) on the topic themselves. Hours of research and time are put into these episodes. We’d recommend that you watch the video again because it appears you missed some key points. And the statement, “We don’t get anything from Africa” is just not accurate and misleading. Glad your from South Carolina perhaps you can share this video with your community to see what they say about it and we also have an episode about the Gullah. We’d recommend you check that out as well. Subscribe to the channel if you’d like to support a black owned educational TH-cam channel 👍
