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.
