For some things, yes, and that dates back to a combination of things:
1. African culture
2. Slavery (i.e., slaves being given the leftover or less valued parts of foods)
3. The types of foods that Blacks in the south (which has the highest population of Blacks/African Americans in the country) were able to afford because Blacks/African Americans are disproportionately poor.
That high correlation between race, cultural practices, and poverty passed down certain traditions across generations of Blacks, including Blacks who were not enslaved and who were not/are not impoverished.
I have a Healthy Soul Food cookbook that I have never used. LOL. Where is that thing?
