@soulaansuperior: These were the parts of the animals mainly the pig, discarded by the slave masters and given too slaves during slavery. They had too take what they were given and had too nourish themselves. with the food they were able too transform into meals and delicacy. But it wasn’t just necessity that led Black Americans to identify with eating chitlins and these other dishes. Western Africans cooked and ate every edible part of animals, so they viewed entrails as more than scraps. These resourceful cooking techniques linger today, as Southerners continue to slow-cook or deep-fry these meals. #africanamericanhistory #soulfood #pigintestine #chitterlings #africanamerican #africanamericanculture #cooking #soulaan #fyp
