I am black american.... I was raised vegetarian. Now I only eat chicken, beef, and turkey (no pork), and not even often, I prefer rice and peas with gravy and greens. Don't know how to fry chicken... and I was raised down south.

News Flash: Grits, fried chicken/fish, and greens are common among Americans (black and white) who live in the southern states. I don't know of 1 white person in Alabama that doesn't eat fried chicken (or other "soul food" staples).

To tell you the truth, I dont hang out with that many white people so I can't say what they all eat. I'm from america and yes we eat all of that but we alsoeat other things. Thats a sterotype to say all black americans eat fried chicken allday, sounds like something a white person would say. A person that thinks all black american's eat is fried chicken and grits is either a racist white person or definitly not from america themselves. I personally think goat is nasty butwe eat carribean foodsalso.

Are you trying to prove black americans are brainwashed? Wellmost of us areand we definitly not the only ones,just different levels of self hate.

ILL TRY ANYTHING. I EAT ALOT OF DIFFRENT STUFF. BUT, MY FAVORITE WOULD HAVE TO BESUSHI. I LOOK FOR NEW SUSHI BARS ALL THE TIME.

@ all Black Americans, you really don't have to defend what you eat, it's up to you, what you eat really, just because it's not the favourate food of some of us it doesn't in the slightest mean that there is something wrong with it, or with you liking it and treating it as your own................Not one of us has the right to dictate to you what you should eat. There isn't such a thing as "black food", people eat what is available to them.............when they develop a pattern and frequency of eating it, it becomes a "national dish" or "traditional dish".

Just because Southern whites eat the same food, it shouldn't mean that you can't eat it for fear of not being "black enough". You cant eat something to become more or less black than you already are! It's not a crime to like fried chicken, grits, cornbread,collard greens, chitlins,yams, sweet potatoe pie, peach cobbler, mac and cheese jumbulaya etc.....................

I've heard of that restaurant. My grandmother is an ox-tail freak and that is the nearest one to her( Big Daddy's).She'll go there from time to time when she doens' feel like cooking I don't know ifyou ever heard of it, but have you ever been to Kool Running's Caribbean restaurant inon Memorial DriveClarkston, Georgia ? They have some great food in there and I believe it. They have pretty good sized crowds in there. I think the owner of that place have done so well that he's even has his own meat store and ice cream shop. My nephew seem to like their tropical flavored Ice Creams. I'm curious about another one that has open up recently, Golden Krust in Decatur. I was visting a friend and she was doing some shopping at the store. That food was smelling really good and that was the first da the opened. I think I'm going to see if the food tastes as good as it smells.

Far as Moroccan food, My sister and her husband was telling her about the Imperial Fez. Initially, I didn't think that was going to like it, because of ignorance, but I want with them tried it and I wanted seconds. The service is equally as good. I'm skeptical of going to restaurant that are put in newspaper or have the four stars in them because I always feel that when the newspaper critics say something, you and I know that it suck. This time I will have to give those guys their props. At least to me ,the Imperial Fez has some good food there , that is , if you are into Moroccan food. They also planning on taking me to their favorite Ethiopian/Somali restaurant really soon. I've got to try that out ( Ironically, My- brother-in- law is from Raleigh North Carolina. He's into gourmet foods, at least that is all he knows how to cook). I'm also curious about one more restaurant and I must admit and this is not meant to be stupid like that, but they only restaurant that I have never seen here is a Nigerian one,---until three months ago. Iforget what the name of the restaurant. That is in Clarkston or Stone Mountain on RockbridgeRd. Now maybe they have more Nigerian restaurant in New York than Georgia or the South in general. I get out a lot go from restaurant to restaurant, but I have never seen a Nigerian restaurant here, but I'm not lost on a few of their dishes. My ex fiancee wasIbadan and he served some of the dishes he knoew how to cook from there.

In los angeles, CA you can find any food you want. Traditional soul food, Jamaican, African (all kinds of variations of it), Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Indian and traditional American like ham burgers. Ilike to eat a variety of everything but soul food is my favorite which is black eye pea, corn bread, greens, cabbage, smoother in gravey fried chicken, peach cobbler, country fried steak and so on if you guy even know what that is over in the UK.

I don't know what black people you were around when you came to America. Black people eat the same foods that any other people in America eat.

Not all have a steady diet of fired chicken fish mac & cheese and the other things you mentioned.

When Africans were brought tothe Americas, most of them ended up in the south. Southern people ate a lot of the foods you mentioned, and of course the slavesenhanced the recipes and mad them taste better.

Also, please know that many African Americans have never stepped foot on African soil, and may not ever do so. For the most part they are Americans, not Africans.

So, tell me, why were you so shocked ?confused3
