Soul food:
food (such as chitterlings, ham hocks, and collard greens) traditionally eaten by Southern Black Americans
Gumbo:
Gumbo is a heavily seasoned stew that combines several varieties of meat or seafood with a sauce or gravy.[8] Any combination of meat or seafood can be used.[9] Meat-based gumbo may consist of chicken, duck, squirrel, or rabbit, with oysters occasionally added.

@jesusredeemedme2425 Gumbo is awesome! 😋
I confuse it with jambalaya. Which one is which??? Lol
@jesusredeemedme2425
I heard of it but never tasted it, looks fab 🥰
I love gumbo so much ❤️
Looks INCREDIBLE <3
Dirty rice
Ooh what’s that??
@jesusredeemedme2425 ground meat (sausage, beef, pork), chicken livers/giblets (for authentic flavor), the Trinity (onion, bell pepper, celery), garlic, and Cajun/Creole spices (cayenne, paprika, black pepper).
I usually just use hamburger. I don't do organ meats (livers, giblets) 😝
It can be spicy
@mytwistedsoul that sounds soooo good
@jesusredeemedme2425 mine is mashed potatoes and lentil soup

Fish & Chips. The most British meal of all. And it wouldn't be fish and chips without a buttered bread cake/bun and scraps with it. Originally where I'm from it had an old fashioned name called 'The Chip Oil' a nickname for a fish and chip shop. And it was always fish and chips on Fridays known as fish and chip Friday. Everyone back in the 60s to 80s always went often after a few drinks if they wanted a quick bite to eat on the way home. And now I want fish and chips lol
@CallumKing2000
My favourite 🥰
Catfish, Cajun or blackened. It's really good; so much more flavorful than simply frying it.
I'm a huge sucker for cornbread and collard greens too.
@Torean Cajun catfish is amazing!
@Torean
Now you're just making me hungry. 😋
That’s pretty much the plan. :P
@jesusredeemedme2425 idk if it counts as soul food exactly, but I’ve had Cajun bread pudding before, so good 😋
Black Southern peach cobbler
Where a regular cobbler might taste one-note sweet, a Black folks’ cobbler hits a full chord: sweet, spiced, tangy, buttery. The peaches? Lush and syrupy, tender but not mushy, kissed with brown sugar and spiced just right with a soulful blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and a hint of ginger. Every bite of fruit tastes like it was marinated in memories that are sweet, juicy, and bold, like they’ve been soaking up sunshine and stories all day.
