Top 10 Best Soul Food Dishes | Best American Food

Best Soul Food Dishes. What to eat in Southern United States?

Soul food - a cuisine that fuses West Africa, Western Europe and the Americas - is no stranger to controversy. Though the label floated around black culture at least a decade earlier, "soul food" had its breakout moment in the 1960s when Black Power advocates declared their independence from the narrative forced upon African Americans by white hegemony. Food was included in that ambitious project. Soul food was presented to the world as a cuisine wholly distinct from southern food, even though they shared common ingredients, culinary techniques, and history. Today we're going to tell you about the most iconic soul food dishes.

A funny story. Growing up I was raised by my mom who was full blood Cherokee. My dad was a Caucasian and lived out in Los Angeles California and was a truck driver. When I was 18 I went out to spend time with my dad and travel the countryside. One time we stopped in Salt Lake City and had a one night layover. We were parked nearby the agency and dad said lets walk down the block a little ways there's a nice cafeteria we can eat supper at. So we walked down to it and dad opened the door and stepped inside and then he hollered "oh sh!+" and turned around right fast and shoved me back out the door and said we don't want Soul Food. I looked at the wording on the door and seen the wording "Soul Food" on the door and then I noticed several black people sitting at tables inside. And I asked "What's soul food?" My dad replied "that's black people food".
Well I had never heard the term soul food before and for years, probably a decade or more, I always wondered what soul food was. Then one day I was in this big buffet type of restaurant that had all kinds of food. There was American food over in this section, chinese food over in that section, Mexican in that section, Italian over here, and at the very end was a sign that said "SOUL FOOD".
I thought finally I'm going to get to see what soul food is. So i walked over and my bottom jaw dropped down with disbelief. I looked it all over and I told myself "what! This is the same stuff my momma cooked while I was growing up". I couldn't believe it, my momma cooked soul food. Then I got to thinking "Is there something my momma never told me".

On New Years, Collard greens are for money, black eyed peas are for luck. Coins under the bowl not very common. If you’re wishing for luck you can’t waste a coin. People seem to think that grits are only served with shrimp. In southern households we have grits almost every morning for breakfast with eggs and some type of breakfast meat sausage, bacon, even fish. Shrimp and grit is something usually had in a restaurant or for a rare special occasion.
