100 Christmas Soul Foods Black Families Made That Are Gone Forever

Black families once built their Christmas dinner around soul food that has all but vanished from the holiday table. Ambrosia in the cut-glass bowl, divinity candy dropped by the spoonful onto wax paper, chitlins that had been simmering since Christmas Eve morning. Watch it all the way through, because somewhere in that hundred is a dish your own grandmother used to set out. In this video: ✓ Ambrosia in the cut-glass bowl ✓ Divinity candy on wax paper ✓ Chitlins on Christmas Eve morning ✓ One hundred Christmas soul foods Black families made ✓ Foods that left the holiday table ✓ The dish your own grandmother set out Christmas was the one day those kitchens got to show everything they knew, and the food on the table was the proof of it. What left when those dishes did was more than recipes. A whole way of feeding a family and being proud together in one room went with them. If your family made any of them, name the dish you miss most in the comments, so the people who made it that way are remembered. The cooks never worked for applause, and that is exactly why the food was so good. ChristmasSoulFood #SoulFoodHistory #BlackFoodTraditions
