Collard Greens always for the win!!!!
Always! 👍🏿
Bring back watermelon with black and white seeds! Happy Juneteenth!
More people need to hear this story of watermelon. It needs to go back to being a symbol of freedom and independence.
as well as Fried Chicken.
I love watermelon. I am Chinese- filipino. 😅😂
Yeah, it’s so for the Palestinians too right now! It’s the color of the flag they can’t wave.
Now I want some!!

4th of July & Picnics wouldn't be Complete without Watermelon 🍉.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
❤I do too, love myself some watermelon 🍉 especially the ones with the black seeds in them, they're really sweet....
We have a RICH culture to be proud of!🙏🏿✌🏿
My mother grew up in East Texas. She related that Black folks celebrated Juneteenth as their holiday and White folks had their holiday on July 4th.
I feel the SAME WAY... 1865 'OUR' FREEDOM.... 1776.... FOR THEM AND THEIR RACIST 'ANTHEM'... K33PINIT 💯 YAAASSS ❗🤣
Yep- we bbq’d last night to kick it off. Today, fried chicken, black eyed peas with okra, fresh corn on the cob, buttermilk cornbread and wallamella for dessert! It’s on over here- minus the pork. Homemade tea with fresh lemon slices! ❤
Please invite me over next year. Menu sounds yummy ❤😋
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Wallmella. I love it, haven’t heard that enunciation in a long time! 😃.
Wallmella....I never heard that before.
Texas born and bred black families would traditionally have family reunions during Juneteenth weekend.
Just had ours on the 22th 😊.
Our Black History is very valuable.
We gotta fight to learn more and pass this information down to our children.
This is outstanding! My great grand pop was a sharecropper in Georgia and my mom has a picture of him sitting amount about 100 watermelon. He was very proud of those melons. Thanks I will share this.
Awwww that’s Awesome , share the pic if u can!
I Love
Watermelon 🍉 🍉🍉🍉🍉 ❤️❤️❤️!!!
Appreciate you solidifying Black American culture!!!
We have a June 16 holiday in South Africa too , in memory of school kids who were killed by apartheid government by opening fire on them during anti apartheid strike
OMG! This is horrific. I’m so so sorry this happened.
I remember that. I was in college and it hurt me so bad when I saw the worst thing that could happen to children. I’m a teacher. Education has been ingrained in my life since birth.
I'm a white guy and every food that you talked about here is absolutely delicious. Thank you for the informative lesson.
Twenty some years ago I was working 3rd shift and one of the 2nd shift lady's churches was having a soul food plate dinner that some people were ordering. I saw her starting to leave and asked her why she didn't ask me if I wanted one. We were up north in Pennsylvania I half joked around and said that just because I was white didn't mean I didn't like good food.
Thanks for the channel and videos like this. You're helping add some context to things for me being that I grew up in a white suburb. I've had enough black friends over the years to be reminded that it is a different experience between being black or white in the US.
Sending much ❤ Lov N respect... Thanks for sharing dat...I been Guilty of doing the same thing...lol Fact is? Many cultures flown ☹️ and criticize Soul Food or Southern Cuisine..But! I found out that many co/workers (not only the white) have been misinformed @ Black Dining things like it being Greasy, reason for High BP, Overweight and Diabetic plus it was SLAVE Food...huh? Finally one co/worker Broke the ice with, " where can We get good Soul Food around here?" I was surprised but arranged a unit dinner and we prepared Collard Greens, Banana Pudding, Ox Tail, Ham Hocks, Hot water cornbread, gumbo, smothered turkey wings, sweet potato pies, pound cake, peach cobbler and other southern dishes And the Mexican co/worker prepared homemade tamales, tortilla and Spanish Rice dishes. Yes, it was eye opening and we ate laughed , sharing the history and reason for RED SODA that I made from a Strawberry Rue that had been passed down. Now, we didn't have much Pork cause of Religious Beliefs of many workers. But, u keep talking cause they just Enjoyed themselves and I learned so much about different seasonings and cheeses.... we're planning a Caribbean Fest as our next event cause I requested a good Saltfish dish...thanks 4 opening eyes to experience other Cultural Foods....and embracing the Soul Food Train! 🤗🤗 ......Hugz
Best way to get to know other cultures is through eating their cuisine. #Tasty 😁
Being from Louisiana and growing up on farmland with my Grandaddy, greens were a part of our weekly meals. All kinds of greens he grew them and watermelons. I would love to have tried Red Velvet cake before the red food coloring became popular.
The food coloring didn’t have a taste just a color it should taste the same without the coloring
Happy Juneteenth month!🎉
💯🔥💯🔥💯
Happy Juneteenth month.
Thank you for the lesson
Very interesting! There's a large container of loose Hibiscus* tea in the kitchen which from now on shall be known as my Juneteenth tea. Now I'm making *iced* tea with it which I have never tried till now. Thank you so much for this! Happy Juneteenth, everybody! Let Freedom Ring!
*blended with cinnamon, rosehips, lemongrass & camomile.)
For some reason, ice cream always tasted better on the farm at my grandparent's. Maybe because the kids had to work harder for the homemade vanilla. My mom's sisters and older brothers always came over from EAST Texas and Houston, and thank goodness , plenty of pictures were taken in the backyard, front porch, and by the well. Cars were parked near the field on the grass. Some of us were barefoot, and others had shoes shining. This time was 50's and 60's. If Momma and Daddy took both cars, we could invite some of our friends from our neighborhood in the city. Those were the days!!!
Ever been to Detroit? Faygo Red Pop was probably the highest-selling soft drink among young Black Folk when I was coming up.
Faygo had a Fruit Punch as well. Also, there was another company that marketed "Tahitian Treat". ✊
I got a Faygo Root beer in the freezer now...What Up Doe!

Yes, I still drink those sodas occasionally. I'm from Atlanta and that was a popular drink growing up.
@@natashawright8071 I can dig it, Natasha.
Years ago, I spent the summer w/ my cousins in New Jersey. We went to the store and somebody said, "What kind of *soda* do you want?" Had no idea what they were talking about.
So, I said "What the hell is a *soda*?" 😆
Thanks for those empowering words associated with JUNETEENTH, all African American should know their history .
Praise God! Awesome video!❤This
💯🔥💯🔥
I don't care what day it is, but that food, which I have had as authentic in Florida only a few times (you can't buy it, you have to be invited or go to Church and wait for the after-Church dinner on Sunday to get the real thing)--it is beyond excellent! You can't get it in a restaurant either, people have tried to make restaurants and it's just not to compare to a social atmosphere of barbecue experts on a Sunday in a most pleasant social party/family atmosphere--which is how I ate this food and after a gospel concert and it was nothing you can make for strangers it has to be specially made with LOVE.
Happy Juneteenth ♥️🖤💚🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🎉🎊🤗😊
Beautiful Stories about our Ancestors Ase ASE 🇸🇳🇮🇪🇪🇹🇯🇲🇬🇳 Amen
We have different Ancestors.. Juneteenth has nothing to do with Africa..I wish ppl would respect it and leave it alone
@@jaec6462 Not True I have Direct Ancestors and Descendants from Africa 🇬🇳🇯🇲🇪🇹🇮🇪🇸🇳 As well as Indigenous black Ancestors from here in North America so that's An Opinion not Fact!?
@@Sweetdification On June 19, 1865, enslaved African Americans in Texas were told they were free. A century and a half later, people across the United States continue to celebrate the day, which is now a federal holiday.Jun 12, 2024
@@Sweetdification This is what the article says.This is fact .This has nothing to do with y'all and Alot of us are not celebrating with ppl whose ancestors participated in the slave trade...
@@jaec6462 And were Still not Free sis Doesn't even Matter 🤦🤷
Great video .!!! Please keep talking up African Americans History .!!!
This video is a modernized version of our food history here, our ancestors the Black Natives that built mounds along the Mississippi, grew Watermelons here prior to Europeans colonizing North America.
ABSOLUTELY 💯
love learning about the origins of these red foods & drinks :)
Loved it ❤thank you and God bless! A rich history
Thank you! I love your channel and want you to know that this video has inspired me to learn more about Juneteenth and to start celebrating it! Bless you!
So today is Juneteenth.... My first real celebration consisted of BBQ Vegetables (I'm vegetarian), Watermelon Wine, and a conversation with my... uh... "progressively-challenged" mother-in-law about American History that has her hiding in her room... Once again, I appreciate this channel very much!
Those were just some of the many Southern Indigenous 'Black' Americans' cultural foods.
Only a small point of contention... Greens didn't originate in Greece. The collards, turnip, kale, and mustard greens were all European but salted meat and seasoned stewed greens are found from the Nok culture and further back to Kemet with stewed Jute mallow leaves and ochre with meat which links African molokhia/egusi, etc., Caribbean callaloo and collard greens as African cooking that switched the plant based on what was available. Europeans didn't stew green vegetables with meats like Africans did and it was independent of European culinary influence in that way.
This was a very interesting video. Born and raised a New Orleans Creole and never heard of red foods. Fascinating culinary history of African Americans and their foods.
Thanks!
Love your channel
Hello out there this information enlightened me, so much good information that we as a people need to be educated; Sir you did such a wonderful presentation i hope more of our people have a desire to learn about our culture and historical reality, thanks so very much ❤
I Love a Great Juneteenth Feast, Now & Forever Free. (smile)
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
Wow!!! Thank you for this information. Although these foods have been around in my family for years, and I knew the history behind some foods, I never knew all of them. Thank you again!!
Great info....I was waiting to hear about the fried chicken😏
Thank you sir for another amazing video.
Where is my plate, these are foods I grew up eating born & raised in S.F. 1960’ s Lived in a very culturally developed area, enjoyed lots of cultural foods from many countries & the South, but let me tell you them Sunday dinners after church at my best friends house were definitely made with a whole lot of love, the whole family would be cooking, I mean they came together & made everything. Soul Food has always been my favorite, can’t find good food like that in a restaurant ya gotta be invited to dinner…….Damm I miss them days. ❤
I love these videos! Thank you!
PTL…thank you for sharing; enjoy 💯💌!
I love learning about this! Thanks a lot, Man!
Shalom family ❤❤❤❤
This video came out just in time for this Detroiter: I’m’na stock up on Faygo red pop and on Monday I’ll drink it All Day Long!
Excellent work, Countryboi. I love to see what you have been working on
Thank you for 😮sharing this information ❤
WE HAVE OUR OWN TASTE BUDS, AND IT NEVER EVER FAILS, FOLKS SHUNS IT IN A WHOLE!😯😂🤣😝 BUT WE ARE THAT WE ARE AND💋✌️👊
I found this gem to late! I sure will post this on my social media sites next year
Greece⁉️ for greens 🥬 No Sir 🚫 we brought our love for greens 🥬 from Africa. So many predominantly black countries have several leaf vegetables dishes 🇭🇹 🇹🇹 🇯🇲 and many more. The only leaf that reigns in Greece are grape leaves.
Thank you for sharing this information
The watermelon 🍉 come from west Africa it’s was native to the United States 🇺🇸. The slave catchers brought native west African food to the America’s
At my family's Juneteenth celebration, we always have collard greens and barbecue ribs. The desserts are peach cobbler and sweet potato pie and red velvet cake. And my aunt's famous ice tea..My uncle always calls his sister's tea black people's ice tea,lol.
Happy Juneteenth my beautiful siblings, be well 🎉
Wow! The food is still good!...collars, watermelon, etc.
This is insane however I didn't hear anything about 😢 the holidays for let's see 50 years.
Okkkkkk❤😂❤
thank you!
💯🔥💯🔥
That was Beautiful 🌸
I got an idea Looking at old pics of black communities of the past . Have a parade of of people wearing long dresses , suits and dress shoes and as out dated the attire maybe , it will showcase the pre-saggn pants of the azz era or little earlier , to show no matter what was going on people had class and dignity ....and families
Thank you
I bet those Big Reds are amazing I love Big Red soda
Which one of y’all told white folks how to cook barbecue? We can’t have nothing.
💜💜💜
This reminds me of Netflix high on the hog I love this
❤
🖤
why was vinegar in the red velvet cake?
I’m so hungry now 😂
❤️🖤💛

OK, first, Collard greens have been eaten by Ethiopians for centuries. I beleive the reaons we eat Collards greens is because it is not a delicate vegitable like other things as spinach. After a quick frost, Cabbages and Collard greens were still viable in the American South and could be snatched up and cooked. As far as the other stuff, like the BBQ. I would wonder if only the privileged slaves got to cook and eat it. So this makes me wonder if all the other slaves craved it. They made it any time they could get a little pork and chopped it up and made the chopped barbeque we see in some southern states. It is a lot to investigate, including the sauce, which was often made with vinegar and spices. Since there was no tomato ketchup.
The forgotten foods on Juneteemth were forgotten for violence and murder?
The white man really made the black man the greatest.
We were born great
white man has done nothing but try to destroy us. But with God we have survived and are great at everything we do. That's why they hate US
I never wondered about it
or cared.
Still don't.
Juneteenth ain’t real. Stop following the holidays of man and start following the holy days of The Most High.
We are not from Africa. African American is a misnomer. You've been lied to. Ask me how.
I wish your microphone was of better quality because I really want to listen to you but it's difficult with my speakers. It's very muffled and a lot of reverb on high volume
😮Sounds like you need better speakers!!
Can’t bring the mountain to Mohammed.
@@duplicateifyMaybe I do, but this persists in headphones. I'm sure the creator is interested in improving and would benefit from it. Many RUclipsrs upgrade, especially essay ones. So in the end I'll get what I want and support this guy so your comment is absolutely meaningless
