I'm on a diet, don't do this to me
When you're blessed with a fast metabolism. Eating whatever you want and exercise/burn the fat. Lean body...
Top 3 favorite style of food, EASILY. Some of the best collard greens I've had to this day were in the cafeteria of College of Charleston down in SC my freshman year. All of the women working in the kitchen were older, southern black ladies and they basically would cook their recipes weekly.
I feel like there's some underlining context here. But for understanding I love soul food tho. But those collar greens aren't real collar greens. There's no spices on that Shyt. Unless the following is added, that's not a soul food dinner.
Edit: This is a real soul food dinner
1) Yams
2) Collard Greens ( With spices)
3) Fried Chicken or catfish or both
4) Macaroni and cheese
5)Potato Salad
6) Corn Bread

Sylvia's fell off a long time ago. It was THE soul food spot back in the day but I think around the time she started branching out and getting into canned goods, distribution and stuff, the quality of the food started falling off. The absolute last time I was there, it was full of white people who had started getting comfortable going to Harlem, and they were eating the food as it was served on some
but the black folk were tasting the food and having to add seasoning and stuff, it was so bland. I thought it might just have been a one-off, but I heard from some other friends that went there afterwards that it was still bland. Plus right locally in Brooklyn I had the Carolina Country Kitchen on Atlantic and Saratoga, so I didn't have to go all the way uptown to get some good soul food.
