I went into a "soul food" restaurant in NYC once and the food was TERRIBLE. All these people knew how to do is open cans. I'm from south Alabama and I KNOW what soul food is supposed to be. If I opened a restaurant in NYC I'd have unfortunate transplanted southerners flocking in from all over. IF I wanted to live in NYC, that is.

grandabcd, I agree very strongly with what you said ("Takes me back, WAY back, to another time and place, and I miss it.") I miss it, too. I'm sad for today's youth because chances are, they'll never get to experience what we miss.

chazmonka, you're not a dummy. I don't think there's a "story" to go with these comments. I only saw the photos to click through, and I know I'm not a dummy. AOL does this with a number of their articles. You open the page thinking you're going to read something and most times the only thing to read are a bunch of nasty, hateful comments in the message section. Thank goodness there were only a few of those this time around.

I grew up on "soul" food, also known as downhome, country cooking where I came from. The receipts mentioned brought back wonderful memories of family gatherings, holidays, and just everyday living. NOTHING on earth can match it, when it comes to food. BTW: I'm from Texas, and I'm white. Good old fashioned home cooking binds the gap between all races, IMHO. Nothing better than a pot of collard greens, a pan of hot cornbread, a platter of southern fried chicken, black eyed peas simmered with okra, and a dish of peach cobbler with homemade ice cream. Takes me back, WAY back, to another time and place, and I miss it.

DGarm8, who in the world said anything about giving "all the credit to black women"? If that comment was aimed at roepipster10 because of his/her granny saying that about folks working in the fields, then you could be quite mistaken. My mother and I both worked "in the fields" when I was younger, and we're both quite white.

KKaulpapa1, if you're using the Firefox browser and have a mouse with a wheel on it, you can enlarge the page. All you have to do is hold down the "Ctrl" key and turn the wheel forward. Hopefully this will help you with future articles, too.

I remember coming to Southern California from the San Joaquin Valley in the early 1960's. I started going to a Unitarian/Universalist church. I kept hearing people talking about soul food. Soul food was verrry big with the relegous liberals in the '60's. Probably had something to do with solidarity. Anyway, all this talk about soul food just whetted my appitite. I REALLY wanted some of that soul food.One evening a bunch of us drove down to South Central Los Angeles (we lived in the San Fernando Valley) in search of some of tthat soul food. Well when it came there was corn bread, greens, ribs, chicken and blackeyed peas. What the hell? This is the stuff I grew up on. It was poor folks food. I was just one generation away from the Joad family. I was pretty unbiased before but this really showed mre that there just ain't that much difference between the races when it counts in the condition of life.
