Martha Washington did not come up with this dish. Everyone knows that.

[@jellybean5326]

Martha Washington stole the recipes from Hercules!!!!

The name is Hercules Posey. And Martha Washington stole all of his recipes!

Of course, no one taught slaves how to write.
What type of person would plagiarize someone ideas, hundreds of them.

[@Tylerb4110]

The same kind of person that would own slaves. I answered, but respectfully, that was a stupid ass question Roy

[@stacysatterfield2154]

But there were also whites and free slaves that taught slaves how to read and write. I'm not for slavery. My people were persecuted and my family escaped from Eastern Europe because of the Czar and the pogroms

Got some wannabe historians in these comments.

Those weren't her recipes though. Michael Twitty would have been a better choice for presenting this recipe.
