One of the best videos ever! Their expressions of empathy brought tears to my eyes, and each different reaction to the food was priceless. We're all one people. I love them.
"Those that have enslaved them have now been enslaved by their food." Is probably one of the greatest lines I have heard. I'm a southerner and all that food is the bomb.
I loved how one of the men said, “the Blacks who were enslaved, had the ability and ingenuity to create & invent new things out of their fear and survival from slavery. This observation from an outside independent culture, shows the real strength of the Black community. 💯
I’m an African American from the south even though the food doesn’t look like how we would prepare it lol , I really enjoy the reactions and education on our cultures food to others. Also soul food is a cultural meal that is meant to be eaten with people you love family & friends to feed the soul . ❤️❤️❤️ love all of your videos.
100% I really appreciate this one too. And same. I'm from Texas but I've never seen Soul Food like this. However, I am happy they introduced them to it and gave a touch of history. I said they should have somebody's Black grandma - Big momma/ Madea (short for Mother Dearest) to throw down for them 💕😁
Somebody in the comments made a slave joke in reference to the older guy saying the meat tastes like cotton. The person said "Perfect description for the context". 😠 People are asses sometimes
I'm so glad they can respect our struggle. As an African American who is in one of those families who ancestors were enslaved, I just want to say thank you for having to respect us and showing there are some good people in the world.

@@msz.johnson girl! Who said this is Black history, I said it was a summary, which means it's just a taste of our culture. Of course our culture isn't made up with 4 dishes on a UA-cam video
That cornbread looked doughy! And that fried chicken wasn't cooked well...sorry. but I need to know where did they get this "soul food" from cause baybee!
Lol they would’ve gone nuts over some actual soul food prepared by African Americans. I’m very happy they liked these versions though. Love the spreading of cultures. Awesome video!!
And then he had to sing and do the happy food dance, I love it! 🤗 I love how mindful they are when speaking on their impressions of each dish, such a lovely way of speaking this group of folks have, even when speaking off the cuff. 😌🥰
This episode made me tear up. They really respect our culture and are careful of their critique of the food because they know the history behind it. Also, Mustafa actually loved TWO dishes in this episode! WINNING!!!
@TElite it's cause it's normally indecipherable as to what it's ingredients are lol. Everything here you could remake from memory after a few tries. The adage "simple sells" is definitely true for the old guy.
@@dilbydoe4868 it seems that he was able to appreciate their empathy to the slavery plight. Its relevant to many African Americans since they were once an enslaved people. (I know, they weren't the only ones of course), and true, we aren't today, but history does have an impact on some people. And then there's clearly racism and a lack of care and unity between some races and cultures and just humans in general(even within same race). These beautiful people didn't just ignore or apathetically respond to the bit of history (hardship) they learned. They were touched by it, they cared. In a world growing colder and more hateful..sometimes its just nice to see little things like this. It just hit home a little more maybe because the poster is African American and this video had to do with African American history. Makes sense to me
As an African-American whose ancestors were enslaved I love how you didn't brush over the history of our condition or our cultural contributions. I was also deeply touched by their empathy and loved the exchange of similarities to their cultural foods. Thank you for this video! It's wonderful!
Sad history for AAmericans :( For Native Americans too, at the same horrifying level of oppression! .... But theses people are very kind and humble the west can learn alot from the east.
@@gissyb1 Yea good African Americans fought for their rights, or America would be real bad for all minorities. We can all learn from African Americans strength.
@@txdominoe That's such a biased and ridiculous comment. We were taught about slavery AND segregation. My grandmother marched for Civil Rights. Don't make such uneducated comments.
I get what you're saying sweetheart but all I'm saying is if you're going to represent something of our culture please make it authentic as possible that crap was not soul food
@Shadai So they want to take critical parts out? Like the how it all started on racism and oppression…want to forget it without giving reparations like they did with the Jews?
When you tear up watching a video of people trying food, you know their empathy was sincere. This was way deeper than it was probably intended to be but many of us needed to see it.
Lmao at Pakistanis saying trading humans is wrong. If that ain't the pot calling the kettle black I don't know what is. Especially in modern times lol what a joke.
@@Happyッ-r4q If your not one of them then why are you even replying to me. I didn’t say all. But if the shoe fits where it. I know alot of people that would agree with me if your offended oh well. I’m talkin bout my own black people. I ain’t saying anything that ain’t true I love my people but they be ignorant to certain things. Watch all the videos of African American trying different foods from other countries and see their reactions vs other people trying our food they be spiting it out saying yuck, saying other peoples food are shit and more. 😂💯
@@keifsavage1090 yes, which is why I said express such compassion. I feel the way they spoke on our history was different from just simply recognizing and speaking from my own experiences, it is a first.💛
I wish there were more soul food restaurant. Y’all need to open more restaurants. I live in Tucson Arizona and there’s hardly any soul food restaurants here.🥲
@@wzrdbeatzz4317 what about those who don't believe in him? Death? I don't know what your point was for posting that but if it was what I think it was then it backfired on you. Islam says God will end those who torture others. Christianity basically says I will only love those who love me. So character, good deeds, kindness means nothing in christianity. See the difference? It'll probably go over your head. Nevermind.
I’m grateful for this, the way they spoke of my people with so much empathy, and saw us as “overcoming” our circumstances. This touched me and made me want to do and be more… all because of some chicken…
I'm grateful for this , not my first words. However I could appreciate what you said but this really ticked me off. People are forever to train us as less than, needing empathy and with a slave mentality. I don't know who cooked that food but that was a poor representation 😡
I loved the way they acknowledged our history, but I wish the food was prepared by someone raised in the culture. By the looks of it, there is no way. I’ve never seen soul food like that. Thanks for the story. Loved the idea.
im guessing that it was made by the people there, and usually they don't have the experiences of cooking soul food. after all, the mostly cook desi food. so it's not like they can grab a soul food chef from America and make them travel all the way to paskistan to make food for them. it would be nice, but that's not really possible.
This has me in tears. At about 4:49 when the gentleman starts speaking about turning sorrow into a future, this is the beauty of the richness of soul food. I did a presentation on soul food in my 11th grade history class. That was probably my proudest achievement in school and there were a few.
That would be cool if she actually ate anything. She did ok for awhile but is back to taking small bites. She eats so little they have to edit the video so people wont know
@@Dilkingt0nne exactly , one of those jokes that you find so corny but burst out laughing at . I wish I had that much happiness in me 😂 she is just total HAPPINESS 😂
As a black manwho lived in the south his whole life and cooks soul food let me tell you, that aint cornbread lol. But props for this episode. The soul of humanity was shown throughout.
I would not know that was cornbread until I saw the label stating what it is. The Mac and cheese looked like Kraft gone way wrong!! Whose Mac and cheese really looks like that?
The guy who says he likes the Mac and cheese because we like it, and won’t say he don’t like it cause he doesn’t want to offend anyone, is very intriguing. That’s shows a different lever of respect, especially for people he don’t know.
Absolutely, In a lot of people’s culture it’s disrespectful to insult how things taste. That’s why whenever those tiktok challenges go viral and people start spitting out food or claiming it’s nasty. You usually see such a big outrage, like that fufu challenge. Almost like say something nice or don’t say anything at all.
@Zamad Allah who are you talking about? Their ancestors where enslaved too. These peoples ancestors are not British so they don’t owe us any reparations.
I think it's important for the tribal people to be told a more accurate origin of soul food. It is NOT African food brought by slaves... it WAS crappy, leftover ingredients the slave-owners did not eat or what they considered "animal food" (like corn, ham hocks, innards). Soul food is the amalgamation of that and the the fragmented African diasporas' tenacity to make something from nothing. It's not African, it's not introduced but created right here in the southern USA. Thank you so much for sharing our culture and food with other parts of the world. Sharing and enjoying food with others is better than war.
Yes I wholeheartedly agree. There are some other dishes in the deep south (Louisiana specifically), Mexico, and the Caribbean that were. But that's a completely different conversation.
I believe those people choose self-righteous denialism to the point of absurdity with regard to the indubitable deliciousness of a perfectly fried chicken. Those people (vegans and such) are free to claim anything they want, just like I'm free not to believe them. The human species would not have survived without the killing and eating of animal flesh. Our bodies require vitamin B-12 and the only practical source is animal products (meat, eggs, fish, dairy,) there are "fortified" products available (bread, yeast extracts, breakfast cereals, etc.) But the vitamin B-12 that fortifies those products are most certainly from animal sources. We've all seen or dealt with pale, weak and perhaps slightly mentally off vegans...the reason for their condition is that they don't have enough B-12 in their bodies.
"one finds a solution in the state of helplessness" actually made me cry. Mustafa cut me to the heart with his wise observation! It is the story of so much of African American history. I teach my little children at home, and as we learn about painful parts of history, I tell them, You did not do this, you were not born yet and you were not there. But we need to know, so we can understand when things are still wrong, where a problem came from and why we must help fix it!
@@toomanyaccounts our of curiosity, what ethnicity are you? EDIT: to be clear, I wasn't going to stereotype this person based on their ethnicity. I was going to try to draw meaningful parallels relating this subject to their own background.
He grew up with simple local foods for his whole life. I understand his fear/shock of new foods. It’s great that he loved the Mac n cheese, and the corn bread. Please remember these are unknown foods to the channel. In Australia we eat kangaroo emus crocodile sharks vegemite octopus, Morton bay bugs, oysters, rabbits sheep, pigs, deer, goats. It’s normal for us, we are sharing culture thru food. We even have durian fruits In Shops here.
This was absolutely amazing to watch! This is why we all need each other, we are better together! Thank you for your understanding, appreciation and respect for our culture!
I cried at the end. I really appreciate people from other cultures understanding what happened to African Americans and see that we are people who found a way to make a horrible experience into ways to support and uplift each other. Our food is for the soul. Thank you!
I literally got tears in my eyes listening to these deeply empathetic people enjoying the food, whilst also understanding it's origins in African-American culture and the historical plight of black Americans... such a beautiful thing!
They spread 1 meal over 3 portions and now they assume we eat like peasants on culturally large scale at that. And I bet no black people work for or cooked the meal for these people. This is actually embarrassing. They would have been better just going to a Popeyes smh.
Not me crying their consideration and thoughtfulness blew me out of the water 😭😭 Thank you for filming this and allowing them to taste our history I’m sure our ancestors were smiling down at their empathy and wisdom
This is why im such a staunch anti-xenophobia-ist for the black community. The world is HUGE. And there are so many different peoples that can understand us. Instantly. JUST by tasting our food. Nothing else. ya know?
I’ve cried 😢 they are so wholesome and empathetic towards others misery and suffering, while I believe they don’t even come from a place of comfort themselves, bless them 🙏🏽 mashallah
I’m Chinese Canadian from Malaysia and I teared up at their empathy for Black Americans…it truly was touching when the old man said “one finds a solution in a state of helplessness” and the woman said “how can a human trade another human”. Many cultures have done terrible things to one another (China has enslaved their own people too)…but one can hope we won’t repeat history.
As a black person, I. Freaking. LOVE how the narrator explained what “soul food” is. It’s amazing how other countries are so much more educated than America on American issues
The fact that they were respectful was so touching! Even if they didn't care for it, because they knew the story behind it, they refused to disrespect!! We need more people like this!!❤❤❤
This was one of the best videos I’ve watched in a while. I think African Americans feel alone and like everybody views us in a negative light. Often I think humanity has lost compassion and understanding but this video proves me wrong and I love it. 💜
❤❤❤ Thanks for trying our food and giving a good opinion about it. I know we all have different cases, but I would have Child try a whole lot of other things instead of that but those are probably our top dishes, but thank you for trying them.

Im Caribbean and I enjoyed watching this. There is so much to learn out here. 👍🏽👏🏽

I could tell that cornbread was gonna get a bad review. First of all, no cast iron skillet?!
I thought the same thing a black person did not make this food lol you can look and tell
Who cooked this food
I said that by watching this that the producers made that food fr fr 💀💀💀💀
That cornbread looked doughy! And that fried chicken wasn't cooked well...sorry. but I need to know where did they get this "soul food" from cause baybee!
Lol they would’ve gone nuts over some actual soul food prepared by African Americans. I’m very happy they liked these versions though. Love the spreading of cultures. Awesome video!!
That’s what I was thinking. They need REAL soul food but Iguess it’s ok that they enjoyed what they were prepared.
I guess they had to go easy on them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh and they cant eat pork over there hehe
"these versions" 😂
I could tell by just watching the video that that mac n cheese wasn't up to code lol🤣

Only thing left was the bones for the dogs! 🤣
This was a great video. Thank for sharing opportunity to experience our culture ❤️💯
"i like it for their sake" is a beautiful statement. i only wish that more americans would adopt that same sentiment back towards other cultures
I totally agree with you. It would be so wonderful to show other cultures this same level of respect.
This was one of my favorite responses. Everything isn't for everybody. If you like it I love it should be everyones moto
You caught that also…..

@TElite it's cause it's normally indecipherable as to what it's ingredients are lol. Everything here you could remake from memory after a few tries. The adage "simple sells" is definitely true for the old guy.
The history mentioned in this is a complete lie.
Being of African American descent, I could legitimately feel the empathy from everyone of them trying the food. Appreciate the video ❤️
Yes and I loved how even when they didn't care for the taste they were still respectful in their response. If only more of us were like that.
Yes same this was really nice and balanced
Me too
Yessssssssssss I was getting misty Chile
@@dilbydoe4868 it seems that he was able to appreciate their empathy to the slavery plight. Its relevant to many African Americans since they were once an enslaved people. (I know, they weren't the only ones of course), and true, we aren't today, but history does have an impact on some people. And then there's clearly racism and a lack of care and unity between some races and cultures and just humans in general(even within same race). These beautiful people didn't just ignore or apathetically respond to the bit of history (hardship) they learned. They were touched by it, they cared. In a world growing colder and more hateful..sometimes its just nice to see little things like this. It just hit home a little more maybe because the poster is African American and this video had to do with African American history. Makes sense to me
I’m in tears watching them empathize and support the dishes that my ancestors and I to this day, still enjoy.
The cornbread took me out. He was like the water pushed it down😂
Me too ❤️❤️❤️
it ain’t that deep once this food is everywhere
I am thankful for African influence in my Latin Caribbean culture, music, and food. I love culture sharing and international dishes.
Right. I’m appreciative of them.
Thank you, I enjoyed watching. I was expecting some collard greens too!
I love how respectful they are! Even if they don’t like it they honor our experience and past suffering. Respect goes a long way
Imagine if we all express ourselves in this manner.
Yes!! My man said he didn't particularly like it but out of respect he didn't even want to say he didn't!! That was heavy right!!!
My grandfather would appreciate their respect. I am thankful.
Yes it does
This shows the first steps of becoming and remaining THE REAL KINGS AND QUEENS WE ARE ..AND ARE MEANT TO BE!!!
It's a trip
Much respect to them...
As an African-American whose ancestors were enslaved I love how you didn't brush over the history of our condition or our cultural contributions. I was also deeply touched by their empathy and loved the exchange of similarities to their cultural foods. Thank you for this video! It's wonderful!

Yes, I agree. If that was actual Soul Food, I think all the reactions would have been different
im guessing that it was made by the people there, and usually they don't have the experiences of cooking soul food. after all, the mostly cook desi food. so it's not like they can grab a soul food chef from America and make them travel all the way to paskistan to make food for them. it would be nice, but that's not really possible.
I Agree

I would not know that was cornbread until I saw the label stating what it is. The Mac and cheese looked like Kraft gone way wrong!! Whose Mac and cheese really looks like that?
I was looking for this comnent! That is NOT cornbread.
I was disappointed in the cornbread it just didn't look right.
They have they best perspectives, so much wisdom and love w each and every one of them.
The guy who says he likes the Mac and cheese because we like it, and won’t say he don’t like it cause he doesn’t want to offend anyone, is very intriguing. That’s shows a different lever of respect, especially for people he don’t know.
Absolutely, In a lot of people’s culture it’s disrespectful to insult how things taste. That’s why whenever those tiktok challenges go viral and people start spitting out food or claiming it’s nasty. You usually see such a big outrage, like that fufu challenge. Almost like say something nice or don’t say anything at all.
The number one reason any of them wouldn’t like the food is because an African American didn’t make it.
And mac and cheese is a very easy dish to mess up. Not all African Americans like everybody's mac and cheese.
The fact that they understand what my ancestors have gone through and they feel empathy just made my heart cry with joy ❤❤❤❤
I know it made me tear up too they are so kind
@Zamad Allah who are you talking about? Their ancestors where enslaved too. These peoples ancestors are not British so they don’t owe us any reparations.

Who made this soul food?
This was lovely. ❤❤❤❤
" One finds solutions in a state of helplessness "..... Mama Mustafa with true wisdom as always.
I think it's important for the tribal people to be told a more accurate origin of soul food. It is NOT African food brought by slaves... it WAS crappy, leftover ingredients the slave-owners did not eat or what they considered "animal food" (like corn, ham hocks, innards). Soul food is the amalgamation of that and the the fragmented African diasporas' tenacity to make something from nothing. It's not African, it's not introduced but created right here in the southern USA. Thank you so much for sharing our culture and food with other parts of the world. Sharing and enjoying food with others is better than war.
No one said it was BROUGHT here by Africans. You really need to learn how to read and pay attention, before you just spew bullshit garbage
Very beautifully stated!
Yes, I appreciate the effort in trying to educate them but agree they need to be more accurate.
Yes I wholeheartedly agree.
There are some other dishes in the deep south (Louisiana specifically), Mexico, and the Caribbean that were. But that's a completely different conversation.
Nah, our spices, seasonings, ways of cooking, etc. hold African heritage for sure.
I'm fairly sure that it's impossible for any human body to dislike fried chicken.
I disagree, vegans exist
Vegans don’t like meat. People allergic to chicken meat also exist. Also there are people who prefer their own native diet to fried food
I believe those people choose self-righteous denialism to the point of absurdity with regard to the indubitable deliciousness of a perfectly fried chicken. Those people (vegans and such) are free to claim anything they want, just like I'm free not to believe them. The human species would not have survived without the killing and eating of animal flesh. Our bodies require vitamin B-12 and the only practical source is animal products (meat, eggs, fish, dairy,) there are "fortified" products available (bread, yeast extracts, breakfast cereals, etc.) But the vitamin B-12 that fortifies those products are most certainly from animal sources. We've all seen or dealt with pale, weak and perhaps slightly mentally off vegans...the reason for their condition is that they don't have enough B-12 in their bodies.

Mustafa saying he'd like to make mac and cheese made me so happy for some reason. Finally something worthy of the old country.
I honestly think Mustafa just likes cheese
He grew up with simple local foods for his whole life. I understand his fear/shock of new foods. It’s great that he loved the Mac n cheese, and the corn bread. Please remember these are unknown foods to the channel. In Australia we eat kangaroo emus crocodile sharks vegemite octopus, Morton bay bugs, oysters, rabbits sheep, pigs, deer, goats. It’s normal for us, we are sharing culture thru food. We even have durian fruits In Shops here.
Also please try durian 😂
I think that it's because it is a very simple dish and he likes his food in a simple format where he can tell what's in it. I don't blame him.
