Big Mamas Kitchen |
Today me and my friend Charlotte went to try out some soul food which is traditional African American food. Soul food became popular in the 1960s and is commonly known as slave food that was left over from the plantation. The African American slaves cooked with 'greens' such as collards, kale, cress, mustard and pokeweed. Discarded cuts of meat is also used in their cooking such as pig's feet, oxtail, ham hocks, pigs ears, pigs intestines, tripe and skin.
The place is rather like a fast food takeaway with about four tables and the food is served in polystyrene boxes with plastic knives and forks, (this is probably why the food was so cheap as they can save on washing up costs). Nonetheless, the food was tasty although not presented in the most classiest way. It reminded me of Big Mamas Kitchen and the lady who came out of the kitchen was an African quite chubby woman who I assumed is the main chef hehe.
