Soul Food and Southern food

Honey, we owned 'em and we told 'em what we liked put on our tables.

Pretty much the same thing, but there is a class distinction. Soul food, however, includes dishes like chitlins that mostly poor people ate.

They overlap about 80% but there are dishes that are soul food that don’t qualify as southern food, chicken and waffles is a good example.

Soul food tends to be very well seasoned. The use of hot sauce is common as well.

Plain old southern mac n cheese or greens can be rather bland.

Poor people along the Gulf Coast eat nutria.

They are colloquially and disparagingly called "nootra-eaters."

It's the same, but black people had to have their own title to make them feel special.

You clearly know nothing about southern cooking done right. The bland mac & cheese and greens you eat must be cooked by some of that up north trash.

R8 I am an expert cook of southern cuisine and soul food you dolt.

I was trained by Natalie Dupree in the seventies.

No, it isn't really the same thing.

Yet you don't even know how to spell her name. It's "Nathalie" you fetid sow.

Yes, it is two very closely related things. There are some dishes that are more specific to soul food than southern food more broadly, more closely related to the southern black culture. Things like chitlins, hamhocks, fatback.

They’re related but not the same. White Southern food, while delicious, is unquestionably blander than soul food. The main seasonings for the former are salt and pepper.

Go to meals following a white church funeral and a black church funeral and you’ll see the difference.

Soul food fish selections: buffalo, pan trout, and "Re' Lossa!"

R11 Of course you are correct. A 67 year old making a one letter mistake about someone she knew 40 years ago is positive proof of fallaciousness.

Nah R15, just proves you're a LIAH!
