They probably planted, tended, and harvested the food. They fed, watered, and processed any animals raised for food. The cooked, and then served the food, not just to themselves, but also to everyone else who lived in or visited the house. Then, they washed the dishes, and scrubbed the kitchen. They earned those meals.

Billo would have you believe that the President and First Lady served the slaves food from a silver tray. Racist idiot.
