@adivreactions: Replying to @its_meekmeek The "birthplace" of Soul Food isn't a city its a story of survival. Most people think this cuisine started in the 1960s, but the roots go back to the 1600s, long before the Louisiana Purchase. From Gullah-Geechee rice in the Carolinas to the "Cowboy Soul" of Texas brisket, this is the history of resilience on a plate. Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, Carolinas, Florida , alabama and Louisiana contributed to what soul food is and all have regional differences Which region are you claiming? #SoulFood #BlackTikTok #GullahGeechee #TexasBBQ #FoodTok

Louisiana is not the birthplace of soul food. We’re not even known for soul food (though we do have it). We’re the birthplace of Creole Cuisine.

Soul Food got to Louisiana AFTER the Sale of Louisiana in the 1800s but Louisiana's real food is Creole Food

As a Black American.. Soul Food comes from wherever your family comes from. We all got this country from different shore entry points, and we’re of African decent. There’s no one specific place.

In the Chesapeake Tidewater region (DC/ Md/ to 757 Va) we are heavy on seafood dishes like fries bone fish (croaker, spots, perch) collards, rice, hoe cake, black eye peas, and pork scraps (ie hog maws, chittlins, pig ears, pig feet)

Thanks for mentioning North Carolina. We get left OUT of a lot of things. 😩 Overall this is very true and I agree with you. I’m also, Gullah GeeChee—due to my grandfather. 🥰

The earliest recipes for what we know as Soul Food come from Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas.

GEORGIA, NC, & SC! Which makes sense since us 3 were LITERALLY apart of the 13 colonies.

Do you have any info on how Florida plays a part in soul food origins? Florida gets left out of the discussion or overlooked a lot. I’m a 7th generation Floridian and I know there’s connections there that aren’t being discussed and you are well informed.
