Soul Food

The Soul Food term used for an ethnic cuisine, food traditionally prepared and eaten by African Americans of the Southern United States. So, these are African American Foods. African slaves were given only the "leftover" and "undesirable" cuts of meat from their masters. When the Europeans began their African slave trade in the early 15th century, the diet enslaved Africans changed on the long journeys away from their homelands. Vegetables, fruits, spices, and herbs were foreign to the typical pre-colonial European diet. Rice, sorghum (known by some Europeans as "guinea corn"), and okra — all common elements of West African cuisine — were introduced to the America as a result of the slave trade.

Soul Foods Biscuits (a shortbread similar to scones, commonly served with butter, jam, jelly, sorghum or cane syrup, or gravy). Black-eyed peas (cooked separately or with rice). Butter beans (immature lima beans, usually cooked in butter). Catfish (dredged in seasoned cornbread and fried). Chicken livers. Chitterlings or chitlins: (the cleaned and prepared intestines of hogs, slow-cooked and often eaten with vinegar and hot sauce; sometimes parboiled, then battered and fried). Chow-chow (a spicy, homemade pickle relish sometimes made with okra, corn, cabbage, green tomatoes and other vegetables) Cornbread (short bread often baked in an iron skillet, sometimes seasoned with bacon fat). Cracklings': (commonly known as pork rinds and sometimes added to cornbread batter). Fatback (fatty, cured, salted pork used to season meats and vegetables). Ham hocks (smoked, used to flavor vegetables and legumes). Hog maws (or hog jowls, sliced and usually cooked with chitterlings). Hot sauce (a condiment of cayenne peppers, vinegar, salt, garlic and other spices often used on chitterlings, fried chicken and fish not the same as "Tabasco sauce", which has heat, but little flavor). Neck bones (beef neck bones seasoned and slow cooked). Okra: (African vegetable eaten fried in cornmeal or stewed, often with tomatoes, corn, onions and hot peppers). Pigs' feet: (slow-cooked like chitterlings, sometimes pickled and, like chitterlings, often eaten with vinegar and hot sauce). South Africans San and Khoekhoe people (also known as the Bushmen and Hottentots or Khoikhoi; collectively called the Khoisan). The hunter-gatherer San ranged widely over the area; Khoekhoe lived in well-watered areas. The early European settlers first came into contact with the Khoekhoe and they disappeared first due to smallpox. South Africans' Foods Soul Food Game meats, vegetables and shellfishs. Cattle was for food and symbol of wealth, so just wealthy people were eating.

African Colony In 1652 at the Cape of Good Hope, under instructions by the Dutch East India Company to build a fort and develop a vegetable garden for the benefit of ships on the Eastern trade. In 1657 nine men, were given land to farm and the first slaves were imported. In 1662, 250 white people lived in what was beginning to look like a developing colony. Read the full article

Story 231: A Quick Errand

Gail hated shopping at Zip Grocery, but the nearest actual chain store was ten miles away and the bus schedules had just been getting more and more labyrinthine. With all the twists and turns and transfers, it would take her almost two hours each way. The bell on the door jingled as she walked in, and Gail took a basket. As always, her goal was to shop as quickly as possible. Everything about Zip Grocery was the opposite of the big chain places - the aisles were narrow, so that as many shelves as possible would fit. The lights were dim and flickery, giving off a muted yellow glow rather than the stark white of new fluorescents. The brands were often strange, companies Gail had never heard of or boxes labeled in other languages. Still, she had never had a problem with the actual food. As she passed the counter a ghostly form became faintly visible, like a mirage. "Still looking!" Gail said, and the figure vanished. That was really the worst part about Zip Grocery. The water marks on the ceiling, the dusty shelves, the radio playing mostly static with just a few recognizable fragments of music - all of these Gail could ignore for convenience. But the ghosts were usually too much, and would have been again today if she hadn't overcooked dinner. As if reading her thoughts, a voice came over the speakers and drowned out the static. "You have a date?" "Yes, Mrs. Habbash." She had given up asking them not to eavesdrop. It didn't seem to be intentional, sometimes they just picked up a signal. "Who is the lucky boy? Anyone I know?" Gail dropped a box of what she hoped was cornbread mix into her basket after failing to decipher the Korean(?) on the front. "Um. Yeah, I guess maybe. Eric? Eric Swift." The static returned, and Gail sped up. Chili wasn't a very good meal for a date, but it was fast and easy and she didn't have time to do much from scratch. It would be better than the bone-dry and rock hard pork roast she had somehow created. If there was something wrong with her oven she doubted the landlord would get around to fixing it in the next year. She looked down at her basket. Two types of beans, shredded cheese, chili powder, tomato sauce, some withered limes, and the cornbread mix. She had the rest at home other than beef, which Zip Grocery didn't carry anyway. There was a tiny carniceria down the street she could hit on her way home. Abruptly, the static stopped. "Hello, dear. So sorry about your date." "Hasn't happened yet, Mrs. Habbash." "Oh. Oh! I must have gotten distracted. Of course." "Wait. Why are you sorry?" But the radio was just static again, interspersed with tiny fragments of La Bamba. Gail placed all her items on the counter, and then put her basket away while the old shade of Mr. Habbash rung her up. He had died right there behind the counter, if the stories were to be believed. Heart attack or something. They had found his wife dead in the little apartment above Zip Grocery the next day - presumably she had wanted to be with her husband, and had succeeded. "Shame about that Kelly girl," Mr. Habbash said. "Kelly?" "Lived on 34th, I believe." The speakers gave out a burst of loud static. "Right, right," he corrected, "43rd. Correct as always, dear." Mr. Habbash finished ringing Gail up and gave her her change. She hesitated, wondering if she should ask about this Kelly person. She hated ghosts. Hated being in the room with them, having to interact with them, having to smile and be polite around them. But she was also just so curious. "So... what happened to Kelly?" Mr. Habbash turned and looked at her, his eyes suddenly looking extremely solid as if they could at any moment fall through his ethereal body and land with a wet sound on the counter. A blue light wavered inside them, seemingly a long way off. "She passed on a few months back. Spoke to us in passing, about her boyfriend. Well. Enjoy your chili, young lady." The speakers crackled slightly before Mrs. Habbash spoke up, "And don't be such a stranger. We've always liked you, dear." The oven did in fact turn out to be broken, which meant even with close supervision the cornbread wasn't quite right. The chili turned out to be delicious, which was fortunate because there were a lot of leftovers; Eric never showed. She called but got voicemail, texted but never got a reply. Later, after even the leftovers were long gone, she heard that he had abruptly moved out of state. Probably some sort of family emergency, though nobody seemed to know details. For reasons she couldn't quite put into words Gail felt relieved.

#short fiction #ghosts #no the quick errand has nothing to do with chili #I hope there isn't a real place called zip grocery #but there almost certainly is

BB’s Lawnside BBQ

Leo:

What an Experience (and some great nachos)!

Some people say that there is a reason for everything and it would seem that there was a reason that our previous attempts to dine at B.B.’s were frustrated. Ben was leaving for Philadelphia for the weekend, so we had to get barbeque on a Thursday night. The Kansas City sky was threatening rain, but with the overcast sky, we did get some sweet relief from the past few weeks of summer heat. Because it was so nice, Ben suggested that we try B.B.’s Lawnside again and check out its patio.

So, without Gracie this time, we headed south to B.B.’s. We arrived and told that there was going to be live music starting soon. It looked like several in the crowd had finished eating and were waiting for the music to start. I usually enjoy live music and I’ve heard that B.B.’s offers great live shows. That it offers live music regularly (I mean this was just a run-of-the-mill Thursday night!) is a big plus and I was excited for the music as we were shown to our seats.

We asked to sit outside and we were the only people sitting on the patio. The waitress came and informed us that Miller Lite tallboys were only $2, which made my drink decision easy! I scanned the menu and the first thing I was struck by was that, besides the barbeque, the food options all had a southern/Cajun feel. This gives B.B.’s a large variety of food options to choose from, not just the standard barbeque meat platters and dishes.

Ben and I had quite the hunger and we decided to get an appetizer. We went with BBQ Nachos. Ohmigosh, these nachos are amazing! The chips themselves were like old school ballpark nachos (before you only got a bag of Tostitos). They were loaded with cheese, pulled pork, and beans. And they were delicious. The sauce from the beans and the pulled pork mixed well with the cheese and became a semi-sweet and spicy sauce. For some reason, the aftertaste reminded me of cornbread. These nachos were hearty and I told Ben that I almost regretted getting food and should have just ordered another serving of nachos!

The whole time we were eating the nachos, the temperature dropped another couple of degrees and the sky darkened. It was definitely going to rain and soon. But luckily the patio had an awning. Within minutes of finishing the nachos, it was pouring! The rain would be finished by the time that we left, but it was pretty awesome to be eating great barbeque out in the rain, with thunder roaring and lightning crackling.

As the rain poured down, our waitress brought out our dinners. I got the Burnt End dinner. One of KC’s specialties is burnt ends and B.B.’s burnt ends were no exception. The pit beans that came with the meal were great, too. My favorite part of the meal, though, was the fries. I know, I know, I can hear it now, that this is supposed to be about barbeque, not sides! Well, the barbeque was great and the experience was outstanding, but the part of the meal that really sticks out in my mind was the fries. I have never had battered fries before, but I hope that I have them again. These fries were potato spears that had been battered and deep fried. They were crunchy and delicious and complimented the meal well.

As we finished up our barbeque, there were a few moments where we were just sitting in the stillness in the rain. Then, the live music started. It was rockin’! I can’t imagine a better dessert to our meal than to sit and listen to a few songs from a live band. The music the band played was a mix-up of rock ‘n roll and jazz, with a bluesy feel. I dug it quite a bit. We probably would have stayed longer listening to music, but (1) we hadn’t paid the cover because we were just eating and (2) Ben still had to pack for his trip to Philly the next day. So, as the rain had turned into a light sprinkle, we headed out.

As we drove home, I reflected on how great of an experience eating at B.B.’s had been. It got me thinking about all of the other great experiences that we have had eating barbeque. B.B.’s was our eleventh barbeque restaurant on our way to trying all of the barbeque in Kansas City. Despite that, it was as unique of an experience as the ten restaurants before it. Maybe it is because I am writing about each trip, but I remember each experience vividly.

And I think really that is what Kansas City barbeque is all about. We are a great barbeque town with so many terrific options to choose from (an embarrassment of riches as one of my friends would say). I’m very glad that we write about the experience of going to these great barbeque restaurants because I would be woefully inadequate at trying to distinguish the barbeque itself or rank it, it is all just too good.

So, I hope that you enjoy reading about our experiences as we go to every barbeque restaurant in Kansas City. I hope that it gets you salivating and hungry for some barbeque. And I hope that our articles prompt you to go out and try some new barbeque! More likely than not, if you go to a new barbeque restaurant in Kansas City, you’re going to get a fantastic meal, you don’t have to worry about that (how great is it that you can randomly pick a barbeque restaurant in Kansas City and more than likely get barbeque that is some of the best in the nation!). You’ll also have a great and unique experience.

Our trip to B.B.’s was a wonderful experience that we won’t be able to duplicate. But I am excited for future experiences at B.B.’s and hearing about your B.B.’s barbeque experiences. I hope that you are hungry and why not go try B.B.’s today?

Ben:

I’ll say this up front: our trip to BB’s Lawnside BBQ was one of the most enjoyable overall experiences I’ve had so far on this endeavor. The food, the setting, the beer… BB’s Lawnside delivered. Not that you shouldn’t read to the end of this review, but those are the facts.

With me planning to head out of town for a weekend of debauchery in Philadelphia (a woefully barbecue-inadequate city), Leo and I scheduled our weekly barbecue for Thursday night. Still undecided where we’d go by Thursday afternoon, I noted that it was absolutely perfect outside. It was one of those Kansas City summer days that give you the respite from the relentless heat and humidity that you’ve endured for the past two months. We’re talking partly cloudy, high 70s, slight breeze.

With weather in mind, I proposed to Leo that we eat dinner at BB’s Lawnside, known for its patio (and, if you’ll remember, somewhere we had previously tried to go with Gracie in tow). Leo agreed and the plan was set.

Knowing that we’d be feasting that night, I had foregone a normal diet for the day, eating only one over-priced and nutrient-rich smoothie. I figured that would suffice for my serving of fruits and vegetables for the week, right? Whatever, the important part is that my stomach was empty enough and my hunger pangs were strong enough to be all kinds of ready for BB’s Lawnside barbecue.

As we arrived, pulling into BB’s huge gravel parking lot, I noted for the first time that evening that the sky had turned from partly cloudy to… very cloudy. Dark clouds, even. I commented to Leo that it looked like it may rain, eliminating the whole impetus for our trip to BB’s Lawnside. But by then, Mother Nature couldn’t possibly hold us back, as we were near minutes away from yet another barbecue feast. And besides, BB’s patio was partially covered, so we’d be fine.

We went into BB’s relatively busy interior and told the guy at the door we wanted to sit outside. Apparently, there was live music that night (something that happens nearly every night -- BB’s Lawnside is a blues bar, after all), but because we didn’t plan to stick around all night, we could forego the $10 cover charge.

Since we were both starving, Leo and I quickly decided to order an appetizer. BB’s menu has the barbecue basics -- brisket, pork, ribs, etc. -- but also plenty of other options, many of which are cajun and creole inspired. We decided on the bbq nachos: chips (duh), pulled pork, pit beans, and chili cheese sauce. I also decided on my order: the rib dinner with “skillet fries” and pit beans. And to top it all off, we ordered tall cans of Miller High Life (note: Leo remembers this as Miller Lite, but I think that’s just the beer talking), which just so happened to be my beer of choice in college. Nostalgia and what not.

Our nachos arrived quickly -- a paper boat of all your favorite ingredients thrown together. I snapped a couple pics and dug right in. It’s safe to say now that ordering those nachos was one of the best decisions I made that week. These nachos weren’t anything fancy, but I think that’s part of what made them so good. I told Leo that they reminded me of something that someone would bring to a backyard barbecue, and it would be the one item that everyone at the party raves about. These are your Aunt Kathy’s nachos that everyone talks about. “Is Aunt Kathy coming? She’s bringing those barbecue nachos, right?”

Seriously, though, the nachos were delicious. There were hints of sweetness, I imagine from the beans and barbecue sauce (I think), but they were hearty, as well, with plenty of pulled pork and chili cheese sauce. I’m tempted to go back to BB’s just to order the nachos as my meal, that way I wouldn’t have to share.

As we waited for our entrees, it began to drizzle a little, then rain, then really rain. No worries, we were protected by the patio roof. And as it started to rain, the band inside began to play. Between the Miller High Life, the nachos, the rain all around us, and live blues music in the background, it couldn’t get much better.

Actually, it could, because our food arrived.

Like the nachos, the entrees weren’t short on portion size. The ribs came slightly sauced over a pillow of white bread, a mountain of potatoes nestled next to a cup of beans.

Also like the nachos, the ribs reminded me of something I’d eat a backyard barbecue -- from that one guy that’s incredibly good at barbecue. The ribs were extra smokey, with a pretty distinct flavor. Of course, the meat itself was tender, but the big takeaway for me was BB’s smokey flavor that permeated the ribs. Again, maybe it was just because we were sitting outside, drinking my favorite light beer, but everything on my plate reminded me of the best backyard barbecue you’ve ever been to.

The “skillet fries” were chunks of fried potatoes that served as an ideal conduit for BB’s original and hot sauces. The beans were extra thick with plenty of meat, certainly more on the hearty rather than sweet side of baked beans.

As we finished up, I could barely finish my ribs, which prompted some expected teasing from Leo; finishing your meal is both American and manly. The rain had mostly died down, making it safe for us to walk back through the interior and out to the car. As we stopped inside, the band was going full steam ahead with some quality blues music, and the restaurant was bustling -- a stark contrast to our solo patio experience.

BB’s Lawnside has an excellent patio, live music, and all the tastes and feelings to remind you of the best backyard barbecue you’ve ever been to.
