Fried Chicken Is Soul Food & Should Be Honored And Embraced As Such

[Cha]

1. I started to write several times the other night when

everyone was talking about it but since I'm not Black I don't know how African Americans feel about this. It seems amazing to me.. but, then why is it being apologized for all the time. Could be the context.. Like when racists pass emails with the President eating watermelon to make sure their racist supporters know the President is Black and they're assholes?

I found this.. Adrian Miller's book on Soul Food, too.. I hadn't read the author of your book yet.. I just googled Black History-Soul Food!

One can tell a lot about a people and their history by their food – and African American cuisine is no exception.

Just ask Adrian Miller, whose new book Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a Time charts the history of black American cooking from the shores of west Africa to the urban soul food centers that continue to serve the often-controversial cuisine of American slaves.

“If you really go deeper into the history of soul food, it’s really the food of migrants from the Deep South taken to different parts of the country,” said Miller, a 1987 graduate of Smoky Hill High School in Aurora.

Miller took up the challenge of tracing soul food’s history and launching its spirited defense after realizing the story had never really been told in a comprehensive way.

His next book will be a history of black cooks in the White House.

During February’s Black History Month, The Villager recently spoke with Miller about the saga of one of America’s least appreciated cuisines.


Adrian Miller wrote what he believes is the first comprehensive book on the history and culture of soul food.
