What is a typical meal for an african american family?

Question

im just curios , you know how people tend to stereotype that african-american ppl only eat fried chicken and etc.

well i just want toi know what is a regular meal for them.

Answer 1

Umm, I won't say that's a dumb question, but it kinda racist if you look at it. There is no typical meal for an AA family. People have different taste buds so it varies.

But, my family eats:

fried foods(french fries, chicken, pork chops, etc.)

vegetables(green beans, corn, etc)

and theres this really good recipe that my grandma makes. Its like okra, tomatoes, and a few slices of bacon, and she i guess smothers  it i guess in a iron skillet, really good!

Chinese food

Mexican food

fast food

pizza

For beverages, we drink water, juice, or soda. We don't drink kool-aid.

rice

mashed potatoes

spaghetti or lasagna

hamburgers

hot dogs

The list goes on, and we try recipes a lot, but like I said, people eat different things but I hope that helps. BTW, I live in Alabama(the south) so that may play a part in our food preferences.

Answer 2

McDonalds dollar menu. KFC. Pizzahut. 98% of blackies in USA eat this. It done in purpose by the government to **** them over. The same reason in the early 90's crack was thrown in the street by the NY Government, to clean up the city from lower-class citizens. Now instead of drugs they use ****** up food to kill people in the long term.

Answer 3

They eat the young of the Christian poor.

Oh, wait, that's Jews.

Answer 4

There is no typical meal for African American families. My family trys to eat diffferent things so we can have diversity. There is no particular. Sometimes we may eat breakfast for dinner.Or we may eat lobster for lunch or peanut butter and jelly. I must admit we do like alot of fried foods but we also eat alot of grilled and baked things as well. Some things we can't eat because I'm allergic to yellow dye but other than that we eat lots of things. For example: steak, turkey, chicken,Chinese food, Mexican food, pork, all fruits, fish, crabs, and veggies. Hope this answers your question

Answer 5

the same stuff

they just say they like fried chicken and stuff

cuz of when there were like only black ppl in the south i

think lol

Answer 6

KFC!

Answer 7

anything they think taste good. i mean....im not the biggest fried chicken fan. i prefer lots of other things over it, like pastas (lasanga ziti, spagetti) and there's no typical meal for african americans. Thats JUST a sterotype. i dont know why....but whatever.Well in short.....every family is different. And i may be wrong....but  i think the families who are mostly from Down south fit those stereotypes more. I'm from Jersey. maybe it's just different down here.

Answer 14

eh? what a funny question that's like saying what does a typical American white family eat for dinner everyone is different is there white food and African American food no is there heck  i find this question quite racist if im honest,and totally pointless.

Answer 17

watermelon

Answer 18

barbecue

Answer 19

There isnt a typical meal for any family, its what they like to eat.

Answer 20

That is a very good question.  In my experience and travels I find that it mostly depends on where you live and which era you were born in.  For example, back in the 50's and 60's and 70's, and it irignated from the south.  Most black people were farmers.  Black people ate soul food.  Collar greens, corn bread, fried chicken, and just about every part of a pig.

Now if you go to LO. they eat a lot of grease, fatty seafood and soulfood.  I love seafood.  Seafood gumbo is one of my favorites.  

Now in the 90's and the new millennium, you will notice that food habits have changed.  It also still depends on what part of the country you live in and what they are exposed to.  

For the most part it is soul food.  More so for the older generation.  A good source of info would be some of the old black sitcoms.  Like Good times, or The Jefferson.  Like I wrote, these are older black folks with older eating traditions.  

I hope that helps.  Good luck.

Answer 21

There is not one!

The term African American cast to broad a net to define ones culinary preferences, as this group includes people of color recently arrived from distinct and varied cultures worldwide and people who's ancestry can be traced back to the time of human enslavement within our Country.

They bring a vast and wonderful culinary pallet that continues to broaden the definition of American Cuisine.

Answer 22

There isn't a TYPICAL meal for any family. Every family is different because each person may have personal favorites that they like to eat.

But to try answer your question, if I'm rushing home and I need to hurry and cook something between 45mins-1hr; I will make spaghetti w/garlic toast. If I have time then I will make MY FAVORITE shrimp fried rice with homemade egg rolls.

Answer 23

shrimp

Answer 24
