Many in the African-American community believe that soul food comes
from southern cooking. Slaves were given the scraps of which they
created what is known today as soul food. Some of the most popular
soul food dishes include: greens (mustard, collard, Chinese), red
beans and rice, fried chicken, fried red snapper, fried catfish,
potato salad, etc.
Deserts include: sweet potato pie, peach cobbler, etc.

I think it comes from the 'soul' no matter where you are.

Your statement sounds like you might not agree. Care to elaborate?

Don't forget the real serious leftovers, like pigs feet, fat back,
chit'lins, ham hocks, etc. No part of the pig was wasted.

While I have no doubt the term "soul food" originated in the
African-American community, the concept is World-wide. Anthony Bourdain and
Gordon Ramsey both agree the true mark of a good chef is the ability to take
the least desirable foodstuffs and elevate them to truly delicious food.
