I’m proud to be black and feel very blessed but this video alone made me feel even more proud of my heritage and culture. This video helped answer some questions I never bothered to ask but am glad to know now. Black Americans are deeply integral and important to this nation, our ancestors made something out of nothing and made it look and taste good simultaneously. Thank you to all the ancestors and may we continue to uphold their legacies.

Ok ! Macroni and cheese 🧀 is an Italian dish which is good 👍, however we here in the U.S.A make outstanding macaroni and cheese 🧀 😋 dishes. Thank you 😊 🙏 💓.

The fact I decided to watch these soul food vids in some sort of order just a day before this video is nuts, keep up the good work lad.

Getting ready to eat pinto beans (brown beans) and cornbread. Sprinkle a little sugar. Crumple the cornbread into the beans. Make sure you have juice with the beans to help soak in the cornbread. Slice a piece of onion and tomatoes on the side. You can't go wrong. Enjoy.

Yeah ! I like my steak cooked medium well 😋, because I don't like my meat cooked raw 😒. That's why I eat at home 😋. And I seasoned my food always 😊.

We need to get back to soul food - Our grandparents lived long lives because they cooked & had apple & pear trees in the backyard - All they know is Popeyes chicken nowadays! 🤦‍♂️

This doc is 🔥. I'm 🍁 of 🇯🇲 heritage. I've always figured Collared Greens and Callaloo is the same thing.

The fact that watermelon was invented or came from China and reached its shores across the world, being one of the oldest fruits on Earth coming through the middle eastern shores and to Africa and other places, is a very important part of history that let you know how much black people are in and will always be a part of every single nation every single nationality we are the first people to ever be on earth we are the first people in the world

[Anonymous-cles]

We are very resilient and creative as a race. We popularized EVERYTHING! Our ancestors ate and made do with what they had. I'm not surprised if they did eat alot of watermelon. They were hungry and that's all they probably had to eat at times 🤷🏾‍♀️

I am very happy to be black cause we the best and always other people stay copying us

Til this day you can still get some familiar fried chicken in South Korea
