Most enslaved people never are fried chicken or Mac and cheese. That was served to the slave owners. The typical slave diet was grits, salt pork, chitlins, cornbread, corn mush, maybe some fish. Some enslaved Africans were allowed to have small gardens for extra food. Most enslaved folks suffered from poor health due to the lack of fruits and veggies.
@@mariejones1347 But the point here is that is our culinary genius that created those dishes that America loves today. I personally avoid all the food that was featured, cause I consider it unhealthy for Africans. But I appreciate the food legacy. I was vegan cheif cooking at a retreat center in Hawaii, and because I don't use meat, milk, eggs, cheese, butter, or wheat in any recipe, I was wondering if anymore would still be able to taste my Mama's delicious Mississippi in my food. One European man never came to eat, I ask someone why, and they told me he saud, he doesn't like soul food. I was so happy to hear that, cause mow I know it's not what I cook, that makes people love my food, its How I Cook, that brings Mississippi with me everywhere I go.
And then he had to sing and do the happy food dance, I love it! 🤗 I love how mindful they are when speaking on their impressions of each dish, such a lovely way of speaking this group of folks have, even when speaking off the cuff. 😌🥰
@@dilbydoe4868 it seems that he was able to appreciate their empathy to the slavery plight. Its relevant to many African Americans since they were once an enslaved people. (I know, they weren't the only ones of course), and true, we aren't today, but history does have an impact on some people. And then there's clearly racism and a lack of care and unity between some races and cultures and just humans in general(even within same race). These beautiful people didn't just ignore or apathetically respond to the bit of history (hardship) they learned. They were touched by it, they cared. In a world growing colder and more hateful..sometimes its just nice to see little things like this. It just hit home a little more maybe because the poster is African American and this video had to do with African American history. Makes sense to me
@@msz.johnson girl! Who said this is Black history, I said it was a summary, which means it's just a taste of our culture. Of course our culture isn't made up with 4 dishes on a RUclips video
"It's said a hardworking nation flourishes. They endured sorrow, pain by being slaves and received less food: They still secured a future for their children." Bingo!
And that’s how you know it really is food for the soul. You don’t just say all that while eating some chicken😂although it wasn’t made by a black person, the right mindset and spirit was present while they ate and that’s what makes it “soul”. I appreciate their respect and understanding for our food and culture💪🏾
This episode made me tear up. They really respect our culture and are careful of their critique of the food because they know the history behind it. Also, Mustafa actually loved TWO dishes in this episode! WINNING!!!
@TElite it's cause it's normally indecipherable as to what it's ingredients are lol. Everything here you could remake from memory after a few tries. The adage "simple sells" is definitely true for the old guy.
Lol they would’ve gone nuts over some actual soul food prepared by African Americans. I’m very happy they liked these versions though. Love the spreading of cultures. Awesome video!!
@@txdominoe That's such a biased and ridiculous comment. We were taught about slavery AND segregation. My grandmother marched for Civil Rights. Don't make such uneducated comments.
I get what you're saying sweetheart but all I'm saying is if you're going to represent something of our culture please make it authentic as possible that crap was not soul food
@Shadai So they want to take critical parts out? Like the how it all started on racism and oppression…want to forget it without giving reparations like they did with the Jews?
As an African-American whose ancestors were enslaved I love how you didn't brush over the history of our condition or our cultural contributions. I was also deeply touched by their empathy and loved the exchange of similarities to their cultural foods. Thank you for this video! It's wonderful!
Sad history for AAmericans :( For Native Americans too, at the same horrifying level of oppression! .... But theses people are very kind and humble the west can learn alot from the east.
@@gissyb1 Yea good African Americans fought for their rights, or America would be real bad for all minorities. We can all learn from African Americans strength.
I loved the way they acknowledged our history, but I wish the food was prepared by someone raised in the culture. By the looks of it, there is no way. I’ve never seen soul food like that. Thanks for the story. Loved the idea.
im guessing that it was made by the people there, and usually they don't have the experiences of cooking soul food. after all, the mostly cook desi food. so it's not like they can grab a soul food chef from America and make them travel all the way to paskistan to make food for them. it would be nice, but that's not really possible.
@@keifsavage1090 yes, which is why I said express such compassion. I feel the way they spoke on our history was different from just simply recognizing and speaking from my own experiences, it is a first.💛
I think it's important for the tribal people to be told a more accurate origin of soul food. It is NOT African food brought by slaves... it WAS crappy, leftover ingredients the slave-owners did not eat or what they considered "animal food" (like corn, ham hocks, innards). Soul food is the amalgamation of that and the the fragmented African diasporas' tenacity to make something from nothing. It's not African, it's not introduced but created right here in the southern USA. Thank you so much for sharing our culture and food with other parts of the world. Sharing and enjoying food with others is better than war.
Yes I wholeheartedly agree. There are some other dishes in the deep south (Louisiana specifically), Mexico, and the Caribbean that were. But that's a completely different conversation.
I’m grateful for this, the way they spoke of my people with so much empathy, and saw us as “overcoming” our circumstances. This touched me and made me want to do and be more… all because of some chicken…
I'm grateful for this , not my first words. However I could appreciate what you said but this really ticked me off. People are forever to train us as less than, needing empathy and with a slave mentality. I don't know who cooked that food but that was a poor representation 😡
"one finds a solution in the state of helplessness" actually made me cry. Mustafa cut me to the heart with his wise observation! It is the story of so much of African American history. I teach my little children at home, and as we learn about painful parts of history, I tell them, You did not do this, you were not born yet and you were not there. But we need to know, so we can understand when things are still wrong, where a problem came from and why we must help fix it!
@@toomanyaccounts our of curiosity, what ethnicity are you? EDIT: to be clear, I wasn't going to stereotype this person based on their ethnicity. I was going to try to draw meaningful parallels relating this subject to their own background.
@@Happyッ-r4q If your not one of them then why are you even replying to me. I didn’t say all. But if the shoe fits where it. I know alot of people that would agree with me if your offended oh well. I’m talkin bout my own black people. I ain’t saying anything that ain’t true I love my people but they be ignorant to certain things. Watch all the videos of African American trying different foods from other countries and see their reactions vs other people trying our food they be spiting it out saying yuck, saying other peoples food are shit and more. 😂💯
I’ve cried 😢 they are so wholesome and empathetic towards others misery and suffering, while I believe they don’t even come from a place of comfort themselves, bless them 🙏🏽 mashallah
Just a matter of fact, "Soul Food" is not native African cuisine. It is, American southern cuisine, that Africans adopted. Here in the American South, this is the food, we cook.
@@HoldMy1911 and where do you think southern people learned SEASONINGS and techniques to make this food. FROM THE AFRICAN SLAVES TAKEN TO THE SOUTH AND WORKING WITH WHAT THEY WERE GIVEN. People like you make me sick. It's known as soul food BECAUSE it's ancestry CANNOT BE DENIED or else like YOU'RE trying to do, it would be stolen. You can't lay claim to this.
When you tear up watching a video of people trying food, you know their empathy was sincere. This was way deeper than it was probably intended to be but many of us needed to see it.
“It’s food so it has no flaws” wow. That is so powerful. These people are so grateful for things that America as a whole takes for granted . Much love towards these beautiful people❤❤
@Zamad Allah who are you talking about? Their ancestors where enslaved too. These peoples ancestors are not British so they don’t owe us any reparations.
Pakistani people are so respectful. Even when they didn't like something they said something nice and took into account the context that the food came from. And as we can see, who doesn't like peach cobbler
I believe those people choose self-righteous denialism to the point of absurdity with regard to the indubitable deliciousness of a perfectly fried chicken. Those people (vegans and such) are free to claim anything they want, just like I'm free not to believe them. The human species would not have survived without the killing and eating of animal flesh. Our bodies require vitamin B-12 and the only practical source is animal products (meat, eggs, fish, dairy,) there are "fortified" products available (bread, yeast extracts, breakfast cereals, etc.) But the vitamin B-12 that fortifies those products are most certainly from animal sources. We've all seen or dealt with pale, weak and perhaps slightly mentally off vegans...the reason for their condition is that they don't have enough B-12 in their bodies.
The fact that they were respectful was so touching! Even if they didn't care for it, because they knew the story behind it, they refused to disrespect!! We need more people like this!!❤❤❤
@@wzrdbeatzz4317 what about those who don't believe in him? Death? I don't know what your point was for posting that but if it was what I think it was then it backfired on you. Islam says God will end those who torture others. Christianity basically says I will only love those who love me. So character, good deeds, kindness means nothing in christianity. See the difference? It'll probably go over your head. Nevermind.
That would be cool if she actually ate anything. She did ok for awhile but is back to taking small bites. She eats so little they have to edit the video so people wont know
This video just randomly appeared on my home screen and I'm so glad it did. The wisdom that was expressed and the empathy and respect shown totally floored me. I'll cook for you all any day. 💖💖💖💖
This is been one of my favorite channels for a long time, they're so immensely fun to watch as they try foods from around the world! They also try other things like video games for the first time
That cornbread looked doughy! And that fried chicken wasn't cooked well...sorry. but I need to know where did they get this "soul food" from cause baybee!
I wish there were more soul food restaurant. Y’all need to open more restaurants. I live in Tucson Arizona and there’s hardly any soul food restaurants here.🥲
Not me crying their consideration and thoughtfulness blew me out of the water 😭😭 Thank you for filming this and allowing them to taste our history I’m sure our ancestors were smiling down at their empathy and wisdom
This is why im such a staunch anti-xenophobia-ist for the black community. The world is HUGE. And there are so many different peoples that can understand us. Instantly. JUST by tasting our food. Nothing else. ya know?
As a black manwho lived in the south his whole life and cooks soul food let me tell you, that aint cornbread lol. But props for this episode. The soul of humanity was shown throughout.
I would not know that was cornbread until I saw the label stating what it is. The Mac and cheese looked like Kraft gone way wrong!! Whose Mac and cheese really looks like that?
I’m Chinese Canadian from Malaysia and I teared up at their empathy for Black Americans…it truly was touching when the old man said “one finds a solution in a state of helplessness” and the woman said “how can a human trade another human”. Many cultures have done terrible things to one another (China has enslaved their own people too)…but one can hope we won’t repeat history.
❤❤❤ Thanks for trying our food and giving a good opinion about it. I know we all have different cases, but I would have Child try a whole lot of other things instead of that but those are probably our top dishes, but thank you for trying them.
I cried at the end. I really appreciate people from other cultures understanding what happened to African Americans and see that we are people who found a way to make a horrible experience into ways to support and uplift each other. Our food is for the soul. Thank you!
This is how everyone should share our culture. I love this. It’s so respectful, informative, correct & allows them to form their own thoughts & opinions on our true history.
The humming or singing song he made while eating the peach cobbler and ice cream Is what we do through the entire meal Once again thank you. You are a beautiful people and culture. Thank you for your beautiful message. You gave me tears of joy 💖✊🏽🇺🇸
I literally got tears in my eyes listening to these deeply empathetic people enjoying the food, whilst also understanding it's origins in African-American culture and the historical plight of black Americans... such a beautiful thing!
They spread 1 meal over 3 portions and now they assume we eat like peasants on culturally large scale at that. And I bet no black people work for or cooked the meal for these people. This is actually embarrassing. They would have been better just going to a Popeyes smh.
"Allah Himself ends the oppressor one day." - Grandpa Mustafa So true, whether it's in this life, or to face the consequence of it in the next. Or whether you believe it is mere end is death, the oppressor is also ended there.
True. I guess that's how karma works and probably why africans became slaves themselves. They have had slaves for over 4000 years. In fact it was other africans and arabs that sold the Africans as slaves in the first place. Arabs and the Africans have had SLave trades for as long if not longer than the Romans..... Every single one of us have had ancestors that have been slaves, or been the slave master. Something to remember for people who think world history began in the 16th century and that white people "invented" slavery. I am astonished at the lack of world history and education of Americans and African Americans. No wonder people don't take black people seriously.
Lmao at Pakistanis saying trading humans is wrong. If that ain't the pot calling the kettle black I don't know what is. Especially in modern times lol what a joke.
I love the way they talk about our ancestors. So much respect and love is felt. This is how I and my family regard our history! With a somber respect for the pain, and with amazement for the triumph, and with hope for our future generations. This order is important, so as not to carry the pain through life and to appreciate the strength to overcome, as well as the accomplishments that were still made despite the circumstances. Thank you, thank you 💖
This was one of the best videos I’ve watched in a while. I think African Americans feel alone and like everybody views us in a negative light. Often I think humanity has lost compassion and understanding but this video proves me wrong and I love it. 💜
This was absolutely amazing to watch! This is why we all need each other, we are better together! Thank you for your understanding, appreciation and respect for our culture!
The guy who says he likes the Mac and cheese because we like it, and won’t say he don’t like it cause he doesn’t want to offend anyone, is very intriguing. That’s shows a different lever of respect, especially for people he don’t know.
Absolutely, In a lot of people’s culture it’s disrespectful to insult how things taste. That’s why whenever those tiktok challenges go viral and people start spitting out food or claiming it’s nasty. You usually see such a big outrage, like that fufu challenge. Almost like say something nice or don’t say anything at all.

I personally avoid all the food that was featured, cause I consider it unhealthy for Africans. But I appreciate the food legacy. I was vegan cheif cooking at a retreat center in Hawaii, and because I don't use meat, milk, eggs, cheese, butter, or wheat in any recipe, I was wondering if anymore would still be able to taste my Mama's delicious Mississippi in my food. One European man never came to eat, I ask someone why, and they told me he saud, he doesn't like soul food. I was so happy to hear that, cause mow I know it's not what I cook, that makes people love my food, its How I Cook, that brings Mississippi with me everywhere I go.
OMG, you guys are so full of yourselves, do you not recognize how many of their people are enslaved now?
When he said “ I can’t find the words to express how I feel “ that sir is why we call it comfort food. 🥰 let it take over
Precisely!
Let it FEED your soul!
Yes... it is supposed to lift your spirits when you eat soul food
And then he had to sing and do the happy food dance, I love it! 🤗 I love how mindful they are when speaking on their impressions of each dish, such a lovely way of speaking this group of folks have, even when speaking off the cuff. 😌🥰
💀💀💀💀💀💀
Im Caribbean and I enjoyed watching this. There is so much to learn out here. 👍🏽👏🏽
"i like it for their sake" is a beautiful statement. i only wish that more americans would adopt that same sentiment back towards other cultures
I totally agree with you. It would be so wonderful to show other cultures this same level of respect.
This was one of my favorite responses. Everything isn't for everybody. If you like it I love it should be everyones moto
You caught that also…..
I agree one hundred percent! I thought that was so kind. Love and respect🙏🏾
They're not eating authentic southern cooking. I don't know what they're eating. It looks awful.
“Only bones are left. I’ve cleaned it..” That’s what I’m talking about! ✊🏿🖤❤️💚
🤣😂🤣 Yes!
I don't care who made fried Chicken you can't possibly go wrong with that
Bruh fucked that chicken up!!
He fucked that chicken up
Only thing left was the bones for the dogs! 🤣
Being of African American descent, I could legitimately feel the empathy from everyone of them trying the food. Appreciate the video ❤️
Yes and I loved how even when they didn't care for the taste they were still respectful in their response. If only more of us were like that.
Yes same this was really nice and balanced
Me too
Yessssssssssss I was getting misty Chile
@@dilbydoe4868 it seems that he was able to appreciate their empathy to the slavery plight. Its relevant to many African Americans since they were once an enslaved people. (I know, they weren't the only ones of course), and true, we aren't today, but history does have an impact on some people. And then there's clearly racism and a lack of care and unity between some races and cultures and just humans in general(even within same race). These beautiful people didn't just ignore or apathetically respond to the bit of history (hardship) they learned. They were touched by it, they cared. In a world growing colder and more hateful..sometimes its just nice to see little things like this. It just hit home a little more maybe because the poster is African American and this video had to do with African American history. Makes sense to me
This was very entertaining, loved it! 👍

I’m sorry, but this video does not sum up black history.

Amazing statement! ❤️ Amen brotha!
And that’s how you know it really is food for the soul. You don’t just say all that while eating some chicken😂although it wasn’t made by a black person, the right mindset and spirit was present while they ate and that’s what makes it “soul”. I appreciate their respect and understanding for our food and culture💪🏾
I love how respectful they are! Even if they don’t like it they honor our experience and past suffering. Respect goes a long way
Imagine if we all express ourselves in this manner.
Yes!! My man said he didn't particularly like it but out of respect he didn't even want to say he didn't!! That was heavy right!!!
My grandfather would appreciate their respect. I am thankful.
Yes it does
This shows the first steps of becoming and remaining THE REAL KINGS AND QUEENS WE ARE ..AND ARE MEANT TO BE!!!
It's a trip
Much respect to them...
Who cooked that food?
I wonder the same
That weren’t black I know that
Good question
Someone w/o a soul..lmoa
I’m in tears watching them empathize and support the dishes that my ancestors and I to this day, still enjoy.
The cornbread took me out. He was like the water pushed it down😂
Me too ❤️❤️❤️
it ain’t that deep once this food is everywhere
I am thankful for African influence in my Latin Caribbean culture, music, and food. I love culture sharing and international dishes.
Right. I’m appreciative of them.
This episode made me tear up. They really respect our culture and are careful of their critique of the food because they know the history behind it. Also, Mustafa actually loved TWO dishes in this episode! WINNING!!!
I live in cali an I really wanna go to a actual traditional soul food spot .
IKR? I was so surprised he liked one, but two? Wow!
Yes had me tearing up also …….cause I’m a big cry baby and I’m 42😩😩😩😩
@TElite it's cause it's normally indecipherable as to what it's ingredients are lol. Everything here you could remake from memory after a few tries. The adage "simple sells" is definitely true for the old guy.
The history mentioned in this is a complete lie.
Lol they would’ve gone nuts over some actual soul food prepared by African Americans. I’m very happy they liked these versions though. Love the spreading of cultures. Awesome video!!
That’s what I was thinking. They need REAL soul food but Iguess it’s ok that they enjoyed what they were prepared.
I guess they had to go easy on them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh and they cant eat pork over there hehe
"these versions" 😂
I could tell by just watching the video that that mac n cheese wasn't up to code lol🤣
This was like giving sum body Italian food for the first time and it being spaghettios
*paused* 1:06 and immediately went to the comment section
Because what the hell is that 😮😢😂😂
That does not look like cornbread the texture looks dense has hell

Honestly I appreciate them trying while also explaining our history. It does show effort on their part to understand us.
History that white kids in America will never hear
. Should tell you something about America
I agree Tiffi! It brings the taste and preparation full circle. The way she broke it down I think made them much more open to trying it out.
@@txdominoe That's such a biased and ridiculous comment. We were taught about slavery AND segregation. My grandmother marched for Civil Rights. Don't make such uneducated comments.
I get what you're saying sweetheart but all I'm saying is if you're going to represent something of our culture please make it authentic as possible that crap was not soul food
@Shadai So they want to take critical parts out? Like the how it all started on racism and oppression…want to forget it without giving reparations like they did with the Jews?
That fella said the corn bread wasn’t going lol 😂…I’ll make them some honey corn bread it’ll go..this was a cool vid
As an African-American whose ancestors were enslaved I love how you didn't brush over the history of our condition or our cultural contributions. I was also deeply touched by their empathy and loved the exchange of similarities to their cultural foods. Thank you for this video! It's wonderful!

@@LS-fe4ob if it wasn't for DNA testing we wouldn't have known...sooo the point of your question?
I loved the way they acknowledged our history, but I wish the food was prepared by someone raised in the culture. By the looks of it, there is no way. I’ve never seen soul food like that. Thanks for the story. Loved the idea.
Yes, I agree. If that was actual Soul Food, I think all the reactions would have been different
im guessing that it was made by the people there, and usually they don't have the experiences of cooking soul food. after all, the mostly cook desi food. so it's not like they can grab a soul food chef from America and make them travel all the way to paskistan to make food for them. it would be nice, but that's not really possible.
I Agree
I said the same the Mac looked dry so did the cornbread.. they tried not to be disrespectful 😩
How does it even become your history when almost every major example of soul food was a recipe made by a white guy lol
The empathetic commentary was nice.. I've never heard anyone express such compassion after learning about our people's history. Warmed my heart❤
Same! It made me cry.
It was heart warming and made me chuckle also.

I think it's important for the tribal people to be told a more accurate origin of soul food. It is NOT African food brought by slaves... it WAS crappy, leftover ingredients the slave-owners did not eat or what they considered "animal food" (like corn, ham hocks, innards). Soul food is the amalgamation of that and the the fragmented African diasporas' tenacity to make something from nothing. It's not African, it's not introduced but created right here in the southern USA. Thank you so much for sharing our culture and food with other parts of the world. Sharing and enjoying food with others is better than war.
No one said it was BROUGHT here by Africans. You really need to learn how to read and pay attention, before you just spew bullshit garbage
Very beautifully stated!
Yes, I appreciate the effort in trying to educate them but agree they need to be more accurate.
Yes I wholeheartedly agree.
There are some other dishes in the deep south (Louisiana specifically), Mexico, and the Caribbean that were. But that's a completely different conversation.
Nah, our spices, seasonings, ways of cooking, etc. hold African heritage for sure.
This was so beautiful seeing their reactions. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤
I’m grateful for this, the way they spoke of my people with so much empathy, and saw us as “overcoming” our circumstances. This touched me and made me want to do and be more… all because of some chicken…
Good yard bird will bring peace to any situation 😆
I'm grateful for this , not my first words. However I could appreciate what you said but this really ticked me off. People are forever to train us as less than, needing empathy and with a slave mentality. I don't know who cooked that food but that was a poor representation 😡

Who made this soul food?
I just notice the crew would tell in details of the food origins before serving them Reactistan. That’s neat!
you missed mehboob today! haha
and it is often either totally incorrect or lacking a lot of details
Just a matter of fact, "Soul Food" is not native African cuisine. It is, American southern cuisine, that Africans adopted. Here in the American South, this is the food, we cook.
We share so much as cultures when we share food with each other. 💜🌎🌍🌏
@@HoldMy1911 and where do you think southern people learned SEASONINGS and techniques to make this food. FROM THE AFRICAN SLAVES TAKEN TO THE SOUTH AND WORKING WITH WHAT THEY WERE GIVEN. People like you make me sick. It's known as soul food BECAUSE it's ancestry CANNOT BE DENIED or else like YOU'RE trying to do, it would be stolen. You can't lay claim to this.
When you tear up watching a video of people trying food, you know their empathy was sincere. This was way deeper than it was probably intended to be but many of us needed to see it.
Yeah I feel the same
100%
Waaaay deeper.

I'm fairly sure that it's impossible for any human body to dislike fried chicken.
I disagree, vegans exist
Vegans don’t like meat. People allergic to chicken meat also exist. Also there are people who prefer their own native diet to fried food
I believe those people choose self-righteous denialism to the point of absurdity with regard to the indubitable deliciousness of a perfectly fried chicken. Those people (vegans and such) are free to claim anything they want, just like I'm free not to believe them. The human species would not have survived without the killing and eating of animal flesh. Our bodies require vitamin B-12 and the only practical source is animal products (meat, eggs, fish, dairy,) there are "fortified" products available (bread, yeast extracts, breakfast cereals, etc.) But the vitamin B-12 that fortifies those products are most certainly from animal sources. We've all seen or dealt with pale, weak and perhaps slightly mentally off vegans...the reason for their condition is that they don't have enough B-12 in their bodies.

We agreed at the meeting to not say anything about the cornbread... come on man
That cornbread looked terrible
I would not know that was cornbread until I saw the label stating what it is. The Mac and cheese looked like Kraft gone way wrong!! Whose Mac and cheese really looks like that?
I was looking for this comnent! That is NOT cornbread.
I was disappointed in the cornbread it just didn't look right.
I’m Chinese Canadian from Malaysia and I teared up at their empathy for Black Americans…it truly was touching when the old man said “one finds a solution in a state of helplessness” and the woman said “how can a human trade another human”.

"Allah Himself ends the oppressor one day." - Grandpa Mustafa
So true, whether it's in this life, or to face the consequence of it in the next. Or whether you believe it is mere end is death, the oppressor is also ended there.
True. I guess that's how karma works and probably why africans became slaves themselves. They have had slaves for over 4000 years. In fact it was other africans and arabs that sold the Africans as slaves in the first place. Arabs and the Africans have had SLave trades for as long if not longer than the Romans..... Every single one of us have had ancestors that have been slaves, or been the slave master. Something to remember for people who think world history began in the 16th century and that white people "invented" slavery. I am astonished at the lack of world history and education of Americans and African Americans. No wonder people don't take black people seriously.

The guy said “I don’t know how to feel”, that feeling right there my friend is love that’s the first ingredient put into those dishes #SoulFood.
@Digby Dooright Mac and Cheese is made differently by people so who ever made that mac and cheese needs to try again lol
@Digby Dooright That Mac & Cheese looked suspect. Don’t look like not one egg or more than one cheese was put into that. 😳
Just let the feelings flow my brother we got you.
Amen 🙏 brother I love when my family get together and cook LOVE IS KEY
This was absolutely amazing to watch! This is why we all need each other, we are better together! Thank you for your understanding, appreciation and respect for our culture!
The guy who says he likes the Mac and cheese because we like it, and won’t say he don’t like it cause he doesn’t want to offend anyone, is very intriguing. That’s shows a different lever of respect, especially for people he don’t know.
Absolutely, In a lot of people’s culture it’s disrespectful to insult how things taste. That’s why whenever those tiktok challenges go viral and people start spitting out food or claiming it’s nasty. You usually see such a big outrage, like that fufu challenge. Almost like say something nice or don’t say anything at all.
The number one reason any of them wouldn’t like the food is because an African American didn’t make it.
And mac and cheese is a very easy dish to mess up. Not all African Americans like everybody's mac and cheese.
I teared up a bit. The empathy and knowledge of history was brotherely
“It won’t go down!” Yes the corn bread looked like it wasn’t good😂😂
