Food is a key ingredient in black culture; it is important to understand the origins of soul food are base in subsistence and survival of both life and culture. Soul food originated in the American south during the Antebellum. Soul food used cooking techniques from West and Central Africa, Western Europe, and Indigenous cuisine of North America. The blend of soul food arose from enslaved peoples maintaining their culture despite slavery and blending it with the ingredients that were available to them during the period.
