Mac and Cheese was found in Elizabeth Raffald's cookbook in the 1770's but the version we have now is hailed as Thomas Jefferson being the inventor. However his slave, James Hemings, is believed by historians to be the master behind the recipe. Cornbread was invented by Native Americans way before Europeans or African slaves knew about it. Peach Cobbler was invented by British colonist because the didn't have the right tools to make peach pie. These foods were improved by the slaves to fit their taste... nothing more.

I believe those people choose self-righteous denialism to the point of absurdity with regard to the indubitable deliciousness of a perfectly fried chicken. Those people (vegans and such) are free to claim anything they want, just like I'm free not to believe them. The human species would not have survived without the killing and eating of animal flesh. Our bodies require vitamin B-12 and the only practical source is animal products (meat, eggs, fish, dairy,) there are "fortified" products available (bread, yeast extracts, breakfast cereals, etc.) But the vitamin B-12 that fortifies those products are most certainly from animal sources. We've all seen or dealt with pale, weak and perhaps slightly mentally off vegans...the reason for their condition is that they don't have enough B-12 in their bodies.

I think it's important for the tribal people to be told a more accurate origin of soul food. It is NOT African food brought by slaves... it WAS crappy, leftover ingredients the slave-owners did not eat or what they considered "animal food" (like corn, ham hocks, innards). Soul food is the amalgamation of that and the the fragmented African diasporas' tenacity to make something from nothing. It's not African, it's not introduced but created right here in the southern USA. Thank you so much for sharing our culture and food with other parts of the world. Sharing and enjoying food with others is better than war.

True. I guess that's how karma works and probably why africans became slaves themselves. They have had slaves for over 4000 years. In fact it was other africans and arabs that sold the Africans as slaves in the first place. Arabs and the Africans have had SLave trades for as long if not longer than the Romans..... Every single one of us have had ancestors that have been slaves, or been the slave master.
