    Yeah, my white grandfather’s favorite meal. Collard greens and corn bread.

      Oh yeah and some butter beans and black eyed peas for sides … I’d hit that shit like it owed me money…

      As a white man, I love collard greens and corn bread. I can understand how it became associated with (poor) black communities, but damn is it good. It shouldn’t be an insult like some people make it.

        I live in the South. Nobody here ever heard of “Soul Food”.

        Everybody eats that because it’s awesome.

        Go to a meat and three after Church on Sunday. You will see it full of happy old White People eating exactly what you described.

          Exactly: my first time outside the South eating at a Soul Food place was funny, because to me it was just Food.

        I’ve got a whole song arranged for Appalachian/mountain dulcimer about how great collard greens are. Iirc it’s by the prolific author “traditional”.

        Edit: oops, it’s about turnip greens. Totally different.
