One day my job took me to Louisville Kentucky and I ran across a soul food restaurant. I went inside and looked at the steam table as it was cafeteria style. I thought to myself "Heck this is the same stuff my mama cooks." I had been eating soul food all my life and didn't even know it.

Around 7 minutes in you mention the explosion in fried chicken consumption, around WW2. The reason for this largely comes down to the fact that chicken, since it was labour intensive and not often eaten, it wasn't a rationed meat in America. This also led the A&P grocery chain (pre-Walmart) to establish competitions in fairs for farmers to breed a superior chicken. They were successful in breeding chicken stock that was around three times bigger, and matured quicker than the regular chicken at the time. Both of these together really helped increase the consumption of chicken which in turn led to the fast food chains sprouting up - because there wasn't a limit on the consumption of this meat during the war and so it was an easy thing to promote.

One of the first real meals I remember as a little girl was my grandma’s fried chicken. I loved the drumstick because it was easy for my little hands to hold. She would serve it with mashed potatoes and either fresh corn on the cob or green beans. Sometimes she would make either cornbread or biscuits to go with the dinner. That was my favorite meal. I never associated it negatively. To me it was always associated with home, love, and good times. I also learned almost every good cook has his or her special recipe. The best fried chicken places are usually small and the chicken is made using a family recipe that has been handed down for generations. America really owes a debt of gratitude to those early cooks who invented what has become a national dish.

Fried Chicken was, and is, enjoyed by just about every single culture worldwide. My understanding is that frying is a food prep that, besides being tasty, is a useful way to set and keep the protein in an age before refrigeration. If we knew that we going to be working in the field all day, we would pack a lunch of foods that will “keep” without the benefit of sitting in a modern day fridge or cooler. Great video, as usual.

I was born in 62 and it was around back then but that whole time period was a strange one. Everyone had a religion. The religions did not like each other much. People would openly ask what your ethnicity is because most were children of immigrants. And jokes about the race would follow and of course if they were irish or polish etc they would have to hear one back at themselves. So the jew and the priest and the baptist in a bar jokes were openly said and razzed each other. But you also have to remember the second world war had not been to long before this and many were still alive who had been through the great depression, vietnam was going on and people didn't know if they would see their sons again. History is taught in parts and often glamorized. The hatred for the japanese was still very raw for many. They had their reasons when you look up what they had done. It bothered me because I didnt understand. But when I found out why they carried that hate for so long I understood but didn't carry it myself. Those generations before us all went through a lot of evil stuff. We just need to stop the carrying on of it.

I stopped using the recipe card almost immediately. I came up with my own herbs and spices. It went over so well, I was selected to cook 50k pounds for REturn of the FORces to GERmany (REFORGER), one year. Was the longest day of my life. I had four 55 gallon barrels cut lengthwise, that I used as fryers. Three, on two sides, and two, on one end. The open end was to move the chicken. Btw.
