Get you some smoked turkey necks for the greens...you forgot dessert 😢... Banana pudding, or a sock-it-to-me cake, or a peach cobbler, that's hot with vanilla ice-cream...ps I'MMA ADOPT YOUR PARENTS...THEY ARE THE SWEETEST... I'm writing in caps because I LOVE their energy...I LOVE you for these videos,😊
A Korean person saying of American soul food "This is the broth that makes you cry" when Asian broths are so very carefully and lovingly made? That's the highest compliment he could have possibly given. So much cross-culture respect here. Good LORD do I love to see it.
As a history teacher I have to say thank you for adding the history lesson to the meal, and as always I love how your parents enjoy food! Soul 2 Seoul all the way!👏🏾❤️😋
You are my Soul Sister sweet lady and you did your homework. GOD bless you honey. Btw, I live in the hood and we have two Korean carry outs, let me tell you. Somebody in both places are very clever and can cook ANYTHING!!!! As well as my Mom.
I am half Black and Korean. Growing up in my household, Seoul and Soul always went hand in hand. I absolutely adore this video. Thank you so much for bringing both of my cultures together in one video that explains the beautiful albeit sad history of African American food experienced by your beautiful Korean family! 🥰
As a Black American, I’m really gratified to see this video. I’m very happy to see our traditional food and history being shared, accepted and enjoyed. Thank you✨
@contingencyibct3120you must excuse my Black brethren they are EXTREMELY misinformed and also uneducated hence why they call everyone with skin like them Black and this person most likely didn’t even come from American slavery they’re just talking because it’s common knowledge that Black culture is mostly derived from slavery whether it be how we identify (taking Black from the word Negroe) or the staple foods we eat (soul food).
As an African American decendent of slaves from both sides of my family: I so love how you reserched the history and our recipes. And then let them add there own spin at the end. I really appreciate you doing more than just trying out food. But you taught them and produced admiration for history dishes that were used for our survival. Also Im so happy fried okra was on the list. Its my favorite! God bless you and your family! 🫡
I mostly agree but My only "issue" is that the dishes were tried Individually.... Enslavement....Separated US from US.....And IMO....Our Food is an attempt to Reconnect US with US.... So, To ME.... Our food IS good Individually but IS Better when Eaten, Mixed Together! Mix a Bite Of....Tart Greens, with Sweet Potatoes, with Corn Bread (Sorry points lost for it Not being HOT Water Corn bread) but the Mix is STILL.....The BEST, of Flavors....Your mouth will Experience!
i grew up on all of this being raised in Georgia, but I'm white. when my dad makes collards he calls the juice pot liquor and everything. It's interesting because you are saying its your culinary history, as in being a black american, I assume, since thats what the video says too, right? But I'm wondering.. isn't it just southern food? Most southern white people eat this stuff too, at least that's what I thought. My grandparents, all white, all made this stuff their entire lives too. It's just regional dishes that all people from there ate, whether black or white, and I'm pretty sure that white southerners created a lot of these dishes as well as black. i'm not mad lol I'm just wondering. It does feel a little weird hearing people refer to it as black american food all the time as though it's strictly by black people, whereas something like the blues or hip hop, is clearly music that originated with black people, for example, when its literally been the same dishes of my family for generations as well.
@@xapfe7139 I agree there are no borders and cultures cross all paths, I guess that's actually my point. White people have been eating collards for thousands of years in Europe, stewed with pork, all the way back to the Roman era, as collards originated in Eurasia. But if what you are saying is true, that collards became more common with white Americans after the civil war (though i've also found sources that say that white Americans were eating them in America for as long as they've been on the continent and that they ate greens and sure enough, even with slavery there was a melting pot of food traditions going on) its still a general southern food right? Along with the other dishes? There is a writer who came to the south and wrote in 1883 that there was no more common food among poor whites and blacks in the south, than collards. So I guess I can see it's obviously a black American dish because they were eating it but it's also very much a southern American dish. I guess you can understand it would be weird to hear people act like I'm appropriating eating the dishes my family made for generations, given I'm not black, when you hear it being a black American dish over and over, when you hear about cultural appropriation, etc.
Shared history: Koreans also had a lot of historic hardship, so the cuisines share a lot. Kimchi became a staple because the traditional Korean diet lacked certain nutrients which fermentation provides. When dad is talking about how nourishing the collard green soup is, he's absolutely right. Kimchi and collard greens share many of the same essential nutrients, and thus play a similar role in each cuisine.
@@Jojo_jomo But those dishes are not considered main staples in those cultures. Thats what I mean. The only soul food (or thing close to) that I can get where I'm at is when I cook it. And there are people from all around the world here.
Omg your dad is eating it like an old school uncle! They suck the bones dry and slurp up all the “pot liquor”. That’s the juice and it is so darn good it could literally make u cry. U did an amazing job prepping everything! I know that it was good! Ur dad is hilarious!
Your dad's reaction is so priceless. "This is the broth that makes you cry" will forever be embedded in my mind when I cook greens. Your family is awesome.
I was taken aback by that broth in the greens. We drain the juice on the greens. It did look like a soup. She gets an 'E' for effort bc greens are not easy to make.
@@CC-si3crBruh she made ham hock soup with greens in it. Perfectly valid. Also, kimchi and greens have similar nutrients. Dad is 100% correct. Greens are as nutritionally important to soul food as kimchi is to Koreans. And they're used the same. Kimchi can be a soup too.
Im black and korean. You Abuh-ji's reactions are EVERYTHING.... I appreciate how respectful you explained the history of soul food to your parents. Thank you🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Brings tears to my eyes.
I'm an Afro-Colombian that grew up near the FL Keys in the 70's. Can't get any farther south than that in the US. I grew up on soul food and this looked amazing. My love for collard greens and ham hocks is deep rooted and watching your dad like them too was a joy. Kudos on the crunch on that catfish.
OMG! Your dad is hilarious! And your mom, her face tells exactly what she’s thinking about the food when she eats it. And…. Where did you learn your soul food cooking skills gurl? You tore it up! ❤😂
Me too 1st time seeing this channel ❤New Subbie indeed! I was smiling and laughing and enjoying the meal virtually and the History was Awesome Thank You For Sharing God's Blessings To You And Your Family!❤❤❤😁😁👏🏾👏🏾
Just just like my dad "put some more meat on my plate" 😂😂😂 love it! Im glad they enjoyed our food! Also as a black chef I am so proud of how AMAZING everything looks. You cooked everything so well and obviously with love. Thats where the soul in soul food comes from!
Kudos to you for not only introducing soul food to your Korean family but also taking the time to educate how soul food came to be. Yes, it is delicious, but there is a sad history there too. I love that everyone used chop sticks. ❤
The way dad attacked that ham hock (although we’re on smoked turkey now) and poured candied yams juice on the cornbread told me everything I need to know! Then he put it all together and made a sammich!🤣🤣 Yasss!!! This was delightful to watch. These parents would be welcome at the cookout.❤❤
You cannot replicate the taste of a hamhock. I don't eat them much, but I keep two in the freezer when I want that authentic taste I grew up with. Most things are ok in moderation.
Wow. I’m a Black southerner that comes from a long line of cooks in my family (as a matter of fact, the last slave in our family was a female cook). This soul/“southern food” looks really authentic! You did a fantastic job. 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 And your father is the BEST 😊. I was very impressed that you also learned the history and knew the right terminology like “pot liquor.” 😊 Very good!
This was fire! A lot of Black families have stopped eating pork, so there’s an additional variation of Collard Greens with Turkey neck that’s really good. If y’all ever revisit it, I’d try that! And you fried the HELL out that catfish, babes.
@@talklesslistenmore5578alot of black families done stopped eating pork since the truth done came out... Most likely you a geechie somewhere in the black belt of Alabama .....
I must say the way your mom describes a flavor as mysterious gets me every time. History was spot on but your dad getting down on that ham hock was the most soul food thing I’ve witnessed in a minute 😂😂😂😂
As a blk female i didn't know what to expect when i clicked on this video. Thank you for introducing our foods to your parents and thank you soooo❤ much for educating your family on our food origin, so glad they enjoyed it. Girl you makin me hungry for some collard greens and cornbread 😅😅😊
You’re a black woman! Not a black female. The term female is used for animals. We are human beings. And as a black woman myself, I just make sure I tell all black women the same thing. Bc a female isn’t taken seriously but a woman is. I know it’s something small to you but it makes a huge difference of how we’re perceived in the world. ❤
@@successmanifestation2769Get off your high horse that's like saying you don't drink water because water goes in the toilet lol. Female is biological sex, woman is gender. They're different things.
As a southerner who loves both Korean food and soul food, it makes me so happy to see Korean people enjoying the soul food in the idea about cornbread and kimchi makes me have to try that now. Please tell your parents thank you for me🌎💚🌍💚🌏
Your parents are great. Your Dad's enthusiasm and gusto and Mom's measured approval are wonderful. Learning about others through food is so much fun. ❤
Thank you so much for introducing your parents to my beautiful culture’s delicious food. I love how they mixed the different cuisines together. I am also a BIG fan of Korean cuisine. I am a new subbie and I think your parents are amazing. I truly enjoy your videos! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When your Dad said “The broth makes me cry!” 😢I loved watching ur parents enjoy the food you cook. But this one really made my heart (or soul 😊) happy! So glad your channel was in my recommendations ❤
This has to be the best thing I’ve seen on the internet in a while! I love how you gave them some history and insight as to why we make/eat “soul food”. In addition to watching them genuinely enjoy the food, I also loved how they incorporated their own staples (kimchi, seaweed) with it as well. This was so simple but beautiful. Small acts like this are so impactful! 💕💕💕
Your parents are the BEST taste testers, and they will use chopsticks no matter what they eat ❣️ Thank you for informing them on the origins of African American soul food. This added more value to this video 💯 ! Plus, I love how they always remix the food at the end the way they would eat it.
Such good-looking parents! I laughed so much! Dad is a mix of Jackie Chan and George Jefferson! He is a good sport and so very funny and happy and light-hearted. Mum is the brave one trying the culinary adventurers first! I'm going to remember Dad and his positive energy forever
your mom shaking her arms vigorously back and forth and dad jumping up at each new flavor is EXACTLY what soul food is for 😂😂 thats why its called soul food!! mysterious and delicious 😋
I’m an older white lady but this is the type of food that I grew up eating and I still make it. Everything looked so delicious and your parents are so cute. I loved that he called the collard greens and pork the “OG.” He’s right. Best food around 😊
@@teatime635 i grew up eating this because i have many black neighbors. I am indigenous and my non indigenous relatives all immigrated within the past century. Not everyone is related to slavery, and even so, the sins of ancestors do not get passed down to descendants
I love this family. The dad is totally on board for whatever is put in front of him. I never knew how much I could enjoy watching total strangers pig out, lol! 😂😂
I don’t know why I love this video?? Is it how thankful your parents are? All your work to try a new experience? How cute your mom changes things up? Your dads sound effects 😂? ALL OF THE ABOVE!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The most endearing and equally enlightening aspect of this video is how your parents instinctively enjoyed the food the way many of my family members do (sippin' potliquor, combining foods to "get the good bite", and devouring the ham hock), as well as seeing the parallels between African American food, and Korean food! There is infinitely more that connects us, that separates us as a human family!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your Dad is such a joy! My Dad used to drink the pot likker because he said that's here all the nutrients were! Thank you for including an accurate history lesson with the meal and the importance of this type of food to all Americans. A bitter history that must not be 4gotten by anyone.
That part reminds me of my mom who would always cook collard greens and take it to her potluck at her old job every holiday her co workers would eat up her greens and the juice. She always came home with two empty crock pots every time they have a party😂
As a southerner i am so happy to see the genuine enjoyment and appreciation of our food. I also am amused at the impression of collards as a meat soup. I really love the cultural blending of using chopsticks, comparing it to Korean food, and mixing it Korean style with rice or adding kimchi. This was beautiful and so happy
We need more of this on the Internet. People who experience and express gratitude for different cultures. It's amazing to see and I'm honestly jealous that they get to do this
Dad was getting down with those collard greens!! He did a job on that bone 🍖. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 He really enjoyed everything, even the potlikker! Your mom enjoyed the catfish the most. ( which I won't eat) It was fun watching them both , especially your dad ! God bless you for cooking them a soul food taste feast ! ❤️😋😇🙏
I love how you gave them some black history to go along with the food. Thats more than what they are teaching our kids in school. Thank you. Your dad is a hoot!
I love your respect for other cultures. I love how you research. It was so beautiful to watch your parents enjoy this food. The thing about food it's like a bridge. It can bring people together. Understanding the history of a dish helps you understand the people. And let me applaud you for your cooking. YOU DID DAMN GOOD
Thank you for graciously teaching your parents about our foods history. My dad is sick to his stomach at how much oxtails cost now. When our ancestors were given that as scraps and had to make the best of it. You food looks really delicious. Good job!
You came with the smoked ham hocks & the research!👏🏾 That catfish and corn bread looked especially yummy. When I started watching Korean dramas and variety shows in the early 2000s, I was surprised to see that grilled pig intestines/gopchang and roasted pig trotter/jokbal being eaten. Back then, I thought eating chitterlings/chitlins and pigs feet were "only" African-American foods (neither of which I like). 😮 Learning about other countries and cultures cuisine is great, and a lot of times, yummy 😋
As I understand it, the history of Korea is somewhat similar to the AA experience. Korea, a small country, had been invaded by other countries one after another. They were subjugated by these countries rather than by one specific population like AA were by whites. But, they were starving and ate what they could which maybe is why the food is similar to AA food. At one time Koreans greeted each other with "Did you eat today?" Of course, modern Korea is very affluent now.
I am from the South and I have to say you did a great job. Just a few things we cook a little different. However, I do think it depends on the area you are from and family traditions. Thank you for paying homage to Juneteenth and the history lesson behind the food ❤️. We ( my family) typically mash the cornbread up in the greens with the potlicker. Best eating in the world. I’m glad your family enjoyed it! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This was a delight to watch. Seeing the way your mom and dad enjoyed the food was beautiful. I was stationed in Korea. I love Korean food. On a side note, Kimchee is EXCELLENT with collard greens! Thank you for sharing our history. Blessings to you all. ❤
You did a wonderful job on educating your family on the cultural of soul food and might I say with cooking it also!!!! This is a beautiful video.🫶🏽 Your father is full of laughs.🙏🏽
1. These vids are SO enjoyable to watch! Especially dad’s reactions. His love for all kinds of food speaks to my soul😂. 2. As a Black American those dishes look like they were cooked to perfection. You did us justice with the potliquor! 3. The history lesson behind the meal touched my heart beyond words. Thank you for the dignity with which you portrayed a very central part of our unique American history❤
Bro, my mom is Nova Scotian black (the slaves that made it out of the underground railroad) and my dad is full South Korean. When I saw them eating cornbread with chopssticks, I almost shit myself 😂😂
This is so special! Your parents are adorable and their reactions are priceless, so many wonderful moments captured. And damn, those collard greens with the pork looked insanely good!
First time viewer. I had to hit subscribe. The accuracy and respect of the history….warmed my heart. The fact that her family enjoyed the food…and then mixed it with their cultural foods to make an awesome fusion…made me smile. And from the look of the food…she ALL the way understood the assignment. Thank you for sharing. And can I get a plate? 😂
How beautiful it is to watch the absolute joy of your parents trying new foods. Their joy and the fact you gave them the history behind the food, gave me happy tears! thank you for sharing the treasure that is your parents with the world!
i absolutely LOVE how much of foodies your parents are and how much time and effort you put into your cooking; it really shows how much they love and appreciate the meal you cooked
I am so happy that you provided a back story. Thank you for that. People are seriously trying to “erase” the true history of the enslavement of black in America. These people did not get on a boat willingly to go learn a new skill ( looking at you FLorida law makers). So thank you. What you just did spoke volumes
Your black African ancestors sold you into slavery. Place blame at the beginning. No one should ever be sold into slavery, but it still continues till this day.
I actually didn't KNOW that bit of history, so they're not just teaching their parents but everyone else who was denied that education. Culinary history is so important because food and culture go hand in hand, and my respect for the art of soul food cooking has easily doubled now that I know it was born from such dire roots!
You did our food Justice! Your beautiful family seemed so appreciative. This was beautiful! We need t-shirts that say “BUSSIN SOULLLLLL” with your dads hands in the air! 😂😂😂
I really love your content ! Great food and great family ! Your parents bring a smile to my face and your dad is hilarious ! Peace and blessings to you and your family 🙏🏿 👏🏿
I almost cried watching this I am so happy you gave the lesson that came with palliative pleasures of my people! 🥺Thank you !! To many times social media loves to focus on the bad influence of our community as if this isn't a problem that plagues all poor people reactions! Let's unite so we can stand strong from our food for the soul! In each of all of our cultures!
The delicious looking food 😋 and compassionate history lesson 😢and your family’s enjoyment, especially your father as always, brought me to joyful tears 🥲
LOVE LOVE Dad’s fun-loving sound expressions, enthusiasm, and comments for the new tastes and flavors. Especially his newfound love for the collard greens and the meat in it. He sucked that bone dry and still went back for more😂😂 He’s a character😂💜
I love this! It’s nice they’re open to trying. And it seems like Dad really likes it . And his so expressive with the taste. Don’t blame him. Soul food is one of my favourites
This is my first time seeing this channel and my heart is sufficiently warmed. 🥰 What lovely parents! And your Dad is adorable. That man can EAT and I love it! 😂

It almost reminds me of the cookout my family had a couple of months back they eat exactly like this. Dad lol
Kudos to you for not only introducing soul food to your Korean family but also taking the time to educate how soul food came to be. Yes, it is delicious, but there is a sad history there too. I love that everyone used chop sticks. ❤
The way dad attacked that ham hock (although we’re on smoked turkey now) and poured candied yams juice on the cornbread told me everything I need to know! Then he put it all together and made a sammich!🤣🤣 Yasss!!! This was delightful to watch. These parents would be welcome at the cookout.❤❤
My family still uses/eats ham hocks ❤
Definitely! Smoked Turkey for me! I don’t eat pork anymore but my mom still uses pork in hers.
You cannot replicate the taste of a hamhock. I don't eat them much, but I keep two in the freezer when I want that authentic taste I grew up with. Most things are ok in moderation.
@@raecoleman-wf2cp I still use them in my pinto beans!
@@YahQueenRoyal
Both are TOO worth it..
My cousin's friend makes THE BEST COLLARDS ever. Who am I kidding? All his cooking is bussin..
From a Black/Afro-American who loves Korean food this was a fun switch to see and glad they enjoyed! And you did good preparing!
It was so heartwarming
Wow. I’m a Black southerner that comes from a long line of cooks in my family (as a matter of fact, the last slave in our family was a female cook). This soul/“southern food” looks really authentic! You did a fantastic job. 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 And your father is the BEST 😊. I was very impressed that you also learned the history and knew the right terminology like “pot liquor.” 😊 Very good!
The way your dad keeps saying soul is so cute. I loved this so much.
As a southern belle, I approve this dinner. Now Mom amd Dad,the only order of business is a nap. ❤😂
This was fire! A lot of Black families have stopped eating pork, so there’s an additional variation of Collard Greens with Turkey neck that’s really good. If y’all ever revisit it, I’d try that! And you fried the HELL out that catfish, babes.
Yes or turkey tail
Chile i who done stop eating pork lol lol
@@talklesslistenmore5578alot of black families done stopped eating pork since the truth done came out... Most likely you a geechie somewhere in the black belt of Alabama .....
Why did they stop eating pork? Is it due to cost or something else?
My granny makes the best of tail stew. It will have you licking the bowl.
I must say the way your mom describes a flavor as mysterious gets me every time. History was spot on but your dad getting down on that ham hock was the most soul food thing I’ve witnessed in a minute 😂😂😂😂
Lol for real.
As a blk female i didn't know what to expect when i clicked on this video. Thank you for introducing our foods to your parents and thank you soooo❤ much for educating your family on our food origin, so glad they enjoyed it. Girl you makin me hungry for some collard greens and cornbread 😅😅😊
You’re a black woman! Not a black female. The term female is used for animals. We are human beings. And as a black woman myself, I just make sure I tell all black women the same thing. Bc a female isn’t taken seriously but a woman is. I know it’s something small to you but it makes a huge difference of how we’re perceived in the world. ❤
@@successmanifestation2769Get off your high horse that's like saying you don't drink water because water goes in the toilet lol. Female is biological sex, woman is gender. They're different things.
She forgot the Mac and cheese and potato salad with the collard greens… oh MY!! Try it!! 🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
@@Marcellat yes,the baked mac and cheese. YES
Did notice their nose were turned up until the words soul food were uttered; then they did a grab😅
As a southerner who loves both Korean food and soul food, it makes me so happy to see Korean people enjoying the soul food in the idea about cornbread and kimchi makes me have to try that now. Please tell your parents thank you for me🌎💚🌍💚🌏
Your parents are great. Your Dad's enthusiasm and gusto and Mom's measured approval are wonderful. Learning about others through food is so much fun. ❤
Thank you so much for introducing your parents to my beautiful culture’s delicious food. I love how they mixed the different cuisines together. I am also a BIG fan of Korean cuisine. I am a new subbie and I think your parents are amazing. I truly enjoy your videos! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When your Dad said “The broth makes me cry!” 😢I loved watching ur parents enjoy the food you cook. But this one really made my heart (or soul 😊) happy! So glad your channel was in my recommendations ❤
This has to be the best thing I’ve seen on the internet in a while! I love how you gave them some history and insight as to why we make/eat “soul food”. In addition to watching them genuinely enjoy the food, I also loved how they incorporated their own staples (kimchi, seaweed) with it as well. This was so simple but beautiful. Small acts like this are so impactful! 💕💕💕
Your parents are the BEST taste testers, and they will use chopsticks no matter what they eat
❣️ Thank you for informing them on the origins of African American soul food. This added more value to this video 💯 ! Plus, I love how they always remix the food at the end the way they would eat it.
“Touching Soul!” Your parents bring me so much joy!!! Thank you for sharing your work with the the world 🩷
Dad really enjoyed the food , he wasn’t messing around. Loved, loved his enthusiasm.
Such good-looking parents! I laughed so much! Dad is a mix of Jackie Chan and George Jefferson! He is a good sport and so very funny and happy and light-hearted. Mum is the brave one trying the culinary adventurers first! I'm going to remember Dad and his positive energy forever
💜💜💜
your mom shaking her arms vigorously back and forth and dad jumping up at each new flavor is EXACTLY what soul food is for 😂😂 thats why its called soul food!! mysterious and delicious 😋
I’m an older white lady but this is the type of food that I grew up eating and I still make it. Everything looked so delicious and your parents are so cute. I loved that he called the collard greens and pork the “OG.” He’s right. Best food around 😊
You only know about this food because it was passed down from my ancestors. Thank you
@@vernellmiller1176her ancestors had slaves that cooked for them and for generations they had our cooking so of course she grew up to love it. 😢😢😢
❤❤
@@vernellmiller1176lol you are a sad individual. Thank you
@@teatime635 i grew up eating this because i have many black neighbors. I am indigenous and my non indigenous relatives all immigrated within the past century. Not everyone is related to slavery, and even so, the sins of ancestors do not get passed down to descendants
The dad enjoyed the food so much. Food is the one thing that bring people together.❤
I love this family. The dad is totally on board for whatever is put in front of him. I never knew how much I could enjoy watching total strangers pig out, lol! 😂😂
I don’t know why I love this video?? Is it how thankful your parents are? All your work to try a new experience? How cute your mom changes things up? Your dads sound effects 😂? ALL OF THE ABOVE!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I agree. It's her dad's eagerness & appreciation. The way he said "bussin" & "soul drink."😂 it's hilarious 😂
The most endearing and equally enlightening aspect of this video is how your parents instinctively enjoyed the food the way many of my family members do (sippin' potliquor, combining foods to "get the good bite", and devouring the ham hock), as well as seeing the parallels between African American food, and Korean food! There is infinitely more that connects us, that separates us as a human family!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You did your thing cookin that soul food. Looks just like my mom and grandma’s cooking. You go girl!
I love that your parents are open to trying all foods. ❤
I like the way she gave the history of soul food. Her parents are just lovely. Dad really enjoyed himself
Your Dad is such a joy! My Dad used to drink the pot likker because he said that's here all the nutrients were! Thank you for including an accurate history lesson with the meal and the importance of this type of food to all Americans. A bitter history that must not be 4gotten by anyone.
That part reminds me of my mom who would always cook collard greens and take it to her potluck at her old job every holiday her co workers would eat up her greens and the juice. She always came home with two empty crock pots every time they have a party😂
When I make greens, I have to have cornbread for the pot likker!😋
I think we had the same father
As a southerner i am so happy to see the genuine enjoyment and appreciation of our food. I also am amused at the impression of collards as a meat soup. I really love the cultural blending of using chopsticks, comparing it to Korean food, and mixing it Korean style with rice or adding kimchi. This was beautiful and so happy
Thank you for so thoughtfully and respectfully celebrating US. ALL of US.
What a blessing. What a Healing.
Bowing deeply.
✨🕊✨
We need more of this on the Internet. People who experience and express gratitude for different cultures. It's amazing to see and I'm honestly jealous that they get to do this
Dad was getting down with those collard greens!!
He did a job on that bone 🍖.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
He really enjoyed everything, even the potlikker!
Your mom enjoyed the catfish the most. ( which I won't eat)
It was fun watching them both , especially your dad !
God bless you for cooking them a soul food taste feast !
❤️😋😇🙏
Thank you
Thank you for introducing your parents to soul food & it’s history. Your dad is definitely invited to the cookout.
I love how your parents mix their Korean favorites with whatever new food culture they encounter.
You brought a tear to my eye because you explained collard greens and pot liquor. I enjoyed this and am so glad your parents appreciated the food.
I love how you gave them some black history to go along with the food. Thats more than what they are teaching our kids in school. Thank you. Your dad is a hoot!
This made me laugh and tear up. They experienced exactly what soul food is supposed to make you feel. They are such beautiful souls. This was amazing
Your parents reactions to Soul Food are fantastic. You can tell they love life and new experiences. Your mother is beautiful.
They are adorable. I love how enthusiastic they were and already had soul-Korean fusion going on ❤
Loved when they started fusing! Def want to try w kimichi for myself 😋
I love your respect for other cultures. I love how you research. It was so beautiful to watch your parents enjoy this food. The thing about food it's like a bridge. It can bring people together. Understanding the history of a dish helps you understand the people. And let me applaud you for your cooking. YOU DID DAMN GOOD
This bought tears to my eyes. They’re so cute. Thank you for sharing our history❤
Thank you for graciously teaching your parents about our foods history. My dad is sick to his stomach at how much oxtails cost now. When our ancestors were given that as scraps and had to make the best of it. You food looks really delicious. Good job!
I told a friend of mine to stock up on oxtails because they are being gentrified. I grew up eating them because they were cheap.
ugh, the ever common phenomenon of white people gentrifying the food they used to look down on
Literally have not eaten them in a few years due to cost but I miss them 😭
I don’t eat oxtails but my Mom does and occasionally will get them at Costco. May be cheaper for your father there. ☺️
I appreciate you taking the time to explain our history to them. I'm glad they enjoyed
You came with the smoked ham hocks & the research!👏🏾 That catfish and corn bread looked especially yummy.
When I started watching Korean dramas and variety shows in the early 2000s, I was surprised to see that grilled pig intestines/gopchang and roasted pig trotter/jokbal being eaten. Back then, I thought eating chitterlings/chitlins and pigs feet were "only" African-American foods (neither of which I like). 😮 Learning about other countries and cultures cuisine is great, and a lot of times, yummy 😋
As I understand it, the history of Korea is somewhat similar to the AA experience. Korea, a small country, had been invaded by other countries one after another. They were subjugated by these countries rather than by one specific population like AA were by whites. But, they were starving and ate what they could which maybe is why the food is similar to AA food. At one time Koreans greeted each other with "Did you eat today?" Of course, modern Korea is very affluent now.
I'm from Hawaii, and my mother loved pickled pigs feet, and when she made Portuguese bean soup, she used smoked ham hocks.
@@margaretgordon7571 Interesting to hear about similar foods across regions.
@@sharonmartin5051 I have heard that phrase.
Baby Yas
Mom is very nice and you can tell she likes the food. Dad is a whole mood though lol he is just smashin' and loving every second of it.
Your parents are so precious ❤ I know I've said this before, but it warms my heart to see them being real. Enjoy them. I miss my parents.
I am from the South and I have to say you did a great job. Just a few things we cook a little different. However, I do think it depends on the area you are from and family traditions. Thank you for paying homage to Juneteenth and the history lesson behind the food ❤️. We ( my family) typically mash the cornbread up in the greens with the potlicker. Best eating in the world. I’m glad your family enjoyed it! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
ABSOLUTELY!
Right on! I wonder if she used mustard, collards, and turnip greens or just the collards....I like the trifecta the best!
@@mucho73cobbcobb95 she probably used the regular collards. But, trifecta 👍🏽
Yes, I'm fascinated by how different regions of the south cook so differently. Her greens looked right! But mixed greens for the win!!!!
All the food looked delicious 🤤
This was a delight to watch. Seeing the way your mom and dad enjoyed the food was beautiful. I was stationed in Korea. I love Korean food. On a side note, Kimchee is EXCELLENT with collard greens! Thank you for sharing our history. Blessings to you all. ❤
One day I will try this combo.
You did a wonderful job on educating your family on the cultural of soul food and might I say with cooking it also!!!! This is a beautiful video.🫶🏽 Your father is full of laughs.🙏🏽
This video makes me unbelievably happy
I know them greens were hitting! Thank you for appreciating and sharing our history. I love you guys!
Thank you for sharing history from my culture and not just cooking the dishes. It means a lot.
1. These vids are SO enjoyable to watch! Especially dad’s reactions. His love for all kinds of food speaks to my soul😂.
2. As a Black American those dishes look like they were cooked to perfection. You did us justice with the potliquor!
3. The history lesson behind the meal touched my heart beyond words. Thank you for the dignity with which you portrayed a very central part of our unique American history❤
Eating crumbly cornbread with chopsticks, now that's some skills!! :D
My thoughts exactly! 😀
Bro, my mom is Nova Scotian black (the slaves that made it out of the underground railroad) and my dad is full South Korean. When I saw them eating cornbread with chopssticks, I almost shit myself 😂😂
@@Its-DeiTy😮
That’s what I’m saying, I love them lol ❤️
They loved it Dad was amazed about the flavor and enjoyed it. I loved ur vid and had to subscribe. Can't wait to what ur parents try next
This is so special! Your parents are adorable and their reactions are priceless, so many wonderful moments captured. And damn, those collard greens with the pork looked insanely good!
Your dad had me laughing and loving his enjoyment.
Me too it was so refreshing 😂❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Who doesn't love good food it brings everyone together that's Love❤❤❤
First time viewer. I had to hit subscribe. The accuracy and respect of the history….warmed my heart. The fact that her family enjoyed the food…and then mixed it with their cultural foods to make an awesome fusion…made me smile. And from the look of the food…she ALL the way understood the assignment. Thank you for sharing. And can I get a plate? 😂
How beautiful it is to watch the absolute joy of your parents trying new foods. Their joy and the fact you gave them the history behind the food, gave me happy tears! thank you for sharing the treasure that is your parents with the world!
i absolutely LOVE how much of foodies your parents are and how much time and effort you put into your cooking; it really shows how much they love and appreciate the meal you cooked
Your parents are so precious❤ your dad is adorable he kept dancing 😂😂I’m glad they loved it!
I am so happy that you provided a back story. Thank you for that. People are seriously trying to “erase” the true history of the enslavement of black in America. These people did not get on a boat willingly to go learn a new skill ( looking at you FLorida law makers). So thank you. What you just did spoke volumes
Im Floridian and KNOW IM AN ISRAELITE and that is what is to be kept hidden. Too late DsantASS
Your black African ancestors sold you into slavery. Place blame at the beginning. No one should ever be sold into slavery, but it still continues till this day.
I actually didn't KNOW that bit of history, so they're not just teaching their parents but everyone else who was denied that education. Culinary history is so important because food and culture go hand in hand, and my respect for the art of soul food cooking has easily doubled now that I know it was born from such dire roots!
Your dad was the star in this upload, and he is definitely invited to the cook out ❤️
You did our food Justice! Your beautiful family seemed so appreciative. This was beautiful! We need t-shirts that say “BUSSIN SOULLLLLL” with your dads hands in the air! 😂😂😂
I really love your content ! Great food and great family ! Your parents bring a smile to my face and your dad is hilarious ! Peace and blessings to you and your family 🙏🏿 👏🏿
I just found your posts. I love your parents - and your cooking. You have a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing them with us!
I almost cried watching this I am so happy you gave the lesson that came with palliative pleasures of my people! 🥺Thank you !! To many times social media loves to focus on the bad influence of our community as if this isn't a problem that plagues all poor people reactions! Let's unite so we can stand strong from our food for the soul! In each of all of our cultures!
Thank you for explaining the history behind the food. Your parents are delightful. New subscriber.
The delicious looking food 😋 and compassionate history lesson 😢and your family’s enjoyment, especially your father as always, brought me to joyful tears 🥲
Thank you for sharing a little history on soul food and I strongly appreciate your mom and dad for enjoying our food!❤❤❤
I love your videos. We appreciate you doing your research. I like that you try foods from different cultures. Great job. 😅 👍
LOVE LOVE Dad’s fun-loving sound expressions, enthusiasm, and comments for the new tastes and flavors. Especially his newfound love for the collard greens and the meat in it. He sucked that bone dry and still went back for more😂😂 He’s a character😂💜
Love how you guys eat all different types of foods. Your parents are a hoot. Love it.
I love watching your Dad he’s so comical and your Mother kills me rolling everything up! LOL
Your dad would make me so happy...i love his reaction!!❤❤
I love this! It’s nice they’re open to trying. And it seems like Dad really likes it .
And his so expressive with the taste. Don’t blame him. Soul food is one of my favourites
This is my first time seeing this channel and my heart is sufficiently warmed. 🥰 What lovely parents! And your Dad is adorable. That man can EAT and I love it! 😂
I love how the father really enjoys the different foods and tastes.
You did amazing job cooking everything !! I love how they were able to stay in the comfort of their home & you EDUCATED them. I love the reactions🥰🥰🥰
Their reaction is awesome! Very adventurous and respectful! Love your dad he really got the soul of the Spul foods!!🤣🤣
