Not really. Africans went through the Caribbean, and brought the greens too. Nothing is soul cept for that. It's simply caribbean food.
looks like a colon killer. I'd bleed out if I ate that.
>>7206371
caribbean people are mostly black no?
most black food is considered soul food
jerk chicken , huh? what did it ever do to you?
how much did that cost you OP? i remember when you could get really great jamaican food in a portion of that size for like $7 CAD but it's gotten pricier since then I feel. not that it matters cause i'm vegetarian now :(

Dude, just do some research. There's a few categories of food.
Southern
Soul
Caribbean
Poor people food.
...are the three in question with you. Black food isn't a category at all. I'd say soul food would be really be a merge of southern food and some of the depression and slave era necessity foods, merged with the african influence of the slave trade. Ingredients came in colonial times from all kinds of sources, Jefferson and Washington not the least of which being huge sources of early ingredient/recipe imports and farming introductions. Having chitlins and chicken feet would be soul. Having chicken with waffles would be soul, but not at all Southern, it originated in NY/LA first, and indicative of the black theatre latenight communities. Simple well cooked vegetables, corn-meal fried okra, fried green tomatoes, all kinds of greens cooked with ham hocks, sliced ripe tomatoes with salt, corn, speckled butter beans, and other farmed produce is all about the south and their love of vegetables. It's not soul food to eat like that, though items will appear on menus of soul food restaurants. It's a hard distinction really, but you can figure it out if you tried. What the US history had with black rights is NOT the same history as the rest of the world. It is unique, and it would be a huge misnomer to apply the same kind of strife and racism and rights struggles to the Caribbean, central or South america or anything to do with S. Africa, of course. Soul is unique. If you want to know more, consult Jessica Harris (food historian) books.

Jefferson brought back the first waffle iron to the USA from Holland and frequently enjoyed chicken and waffles. That's from doing "basic" research though...I am certain with extensive research everything consumed in the southern states of the USA are a compendium of different culinary origins including European (the base) asian, native , african, indian as well as other influences.
Honestly none of the spices necessary for what is now jerk chicken existed in Africa or America. Recipes like jerk chicken are the product of the slave trade having influences ans ingredients utilized from across the entire planet.
Slavery has always existed, still does exist and will never stop. If you live in a country with legalized prostitution, ask one of them where they're from and the circumstances that brought them there. Nearly 100% of the time it's because of human trafficking. They're slaves.
They're enslaved the same way Indians in the UAE are. An "employer" pays their expenses to get to the country they're working in and automatically in debt they must "work off" until they're even paid an actual wage. More often than not the price they're charged for travel is many times more than the actual cost, meaning they're working "indentured" for a significant period of time to pay off the debts until they can send money back home.
An estimated 1 million slaves from Sri Lanka and India are currently working in the UAE, that's just ONE country.
Tldr- you're a crybaby faggot that doesn't know shit.

Only to yankee's.
"Soul" food is nothing more than common southern food. Period.
After the civil war, throngs of blacks migrated to northern cities looking for work, and they brought southern cuisine with them.
Ignorant northern whites began to associate southern food with blacks, and this eventually turned into "soul" food when blacks started using the term "soul" to differentiate themselves from whites.
Poverty food would just be the collard greens

It's fun pretending to you know what you're talking about, isn't it?

>caribbean people are mostly black no?
Not really, the same way South African is "mostly black" would be a good comparison.
Colonialists settled and never left, there are rather large populations of white people in the caribbean (especially Jamaica).... who else is going to run it?
>>7206825
Yes, every bit of truth that hurts your feelings isn't real, it's just pretend.

I live in Texas and there are plenty of soul food restaurants. It seems like you have a problem with black people calling certain food their own.
Reminder that poor people using cheap ingredients invented all of the world's best cooking techniques throughout history.
>>7206895
I would imagine there being more Latino restaurants seeing as it's only been 170 years almost to the date that Texas became a state and stopped belonging to Mexico.
Blacks are a minority in Texas. Factually speaking. Perhaps you live in a disgustingly poverty stricken area full of Latinos and Blacks... who knows.
What I DO know... is that the VAST majority of even mexican food is Spanish cuisine made with indigenous ingredients. How many natives do you know in Texas that are truly corn and chile shitters? I don't know one.
>>7206910
I live in Houston. It's one of the restaurant capitals in the US. Anything you want you can get.
>>7206915
If you can get anything why focus exclusively on one thing? Also, its nice to that not only is your city in the top for criminal activity but for obesity as well. More dangerous than NYC or Detroit now according to modern statistics.
Scary.
Did Paul Wall brainwash you into thinking you're also black?
>>7206909
This is a nice notion, and a good reminder to take from this thread.
Also, OP, I think your food is tasty (even if it's not that exact image).
I'd like to see the recipe, too.
>>7206938
No, that would be the late great DJ Screw. Z-Ro is good too.

OP, that shit looks fucking dank. Never made any type of chicken with an awesome burnt sear or whatever the fuck is going on there. Gimme
>>7206351
How much op? Thats a pretty overloaded platter

I swear Jerk Chicken is the most brain dead type of chicken to make... when you have Jerk seasoning. Seriously, go to some gourmet grocery store, nab a jar of jerk seasoning like Grace or something, season your chicken and stew it like you normally do for your other chicken. I throw in onions and bell peppers and a little orange zest and the broth is DELICIOUS on white rice.
It's so easy to make yet so good that I feel like a cheater using that jar... I really should learn to make my own jerk seasoning >_>

Chicken n biscuits is savory and breakfast both. But, to be sure, chickens were usually slaughtered and drained for quite a while before cooking, whereas pork was preserved, so if you want to discuss real breakfast oldies, then you start with the fact, it's pretty modern post-refrigeration era to do chicken in the mornings.
Chicken n waffles was a mid-40s food pairing from post-theatre diners (first was Wells Dinner Theatre, which even Roscoe's admits started the trend) where late night crowds didn't have to choose between a homemade fried chicken mood or a breakfast food, they simply got both, and nothing to do with Jefferson's food pairings. Owning a waffle iron is all he had, as his recipes and meals are very well documented in Jefferson family OCD-level entirety in their household and personal journals, as anyone who visited Monticello will tell you. Every thing he ever put in the waffle iron is documented. Stop taking wikipedia as some kind of concise fact source. It's not. It's equivalent to "I heard it on the internet..." and maybe write about things ou do know about.

Badia makes a dry rub now. Even more economical alone than a $3.50 jar. It can be made more gourmet with fresh flavors, just whirl up some fresh lime zest, juice, a jalapeno, some dark rum, fresh ginger, and a handful of green onions to make it a wet paste. Any or none of the above.
