Black Cookout Food The Soul Food Pod

    • Food

On this episode, host Shaunda Necole and her mom, Mama Mary (Ma-Ma), explore why Black cookouts are a beloved tradition in the African American community, the cultural significance and love for Black folks' potato salad at African American gatherings and cookouts, alongside other soul food dishes such as BBQ meats, collard greens, coleslaw, baked beans, and pig pickin cake.



The podcast dives into the importance of making these dishes correctly and how they reflect on the legacy and culture of Black Americans.



Mama's recipe for Southern potato salad is shared, along with some of its signature ingredients. The episode also discusses the differences between Southern and soul food cuisine and explains why Black people don't trust potato salad made by non-Black people.



Then Shaunda and her mom play a hilarious game of "Would You Rather?" - cookout version, and encourage listeners to try Black folks' Southern potato salad and other delicious recipes on the official Black folks' cookout menu!
