Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: pig intestines

Chitterlings are quite tasty when properly cleaned and cooked. They're usually slow cooked in water with chopped onions, garlic, and/ or bell pepper until tender. If you have leftovers and want to try something different, you can season them, dip them in cornmeal and fry them!

Answer: ham hocks

A tasty addition to any meal, ham hocks may be served alone or cooked with other vegetables, such as greens.

3. Another meat commonly served as part of a soul food dinner is chicken. How do we prepare it?

Answer: fry it

We fry our chicken, of course. Depending on your individual taste preference and your dietary needs, you may choose a health-conscious oil. However, usually, corn or vegetable oil are used.

Answer: sweet potato

Our sweet potatoes are a highly nutritious addition to our meal. Of course, we try to pick the ones with the deepest orange color because they have a higher concentration of vitamins.

5. Another nutritious, healthy vegetable for our meal is greens. Which of the following have NOT been part of the 'traditional' soul food dinner?

Answer: kale

Kale have become a more popular and acceptable choice as more has become known about their health benefits.

6. Another vegetable we may choose is a curious-"looking" vegetable with a curious name. What is it?

Answer: black-eyed peas

Black-eyed peas are a curiosity. They're not really tasty, but they're supposed to be good for us! Black-eyed peas are also an essential part of a traditional "New Year's Day" meal. They're supposed to bring you good luck!

Answer: macaroni and cheese

By making our own macaroni and cheese we can make it as creamy and cheesy as we want--or not!

8. Now, let's move on to our bread. Which bread is the usual accompaniment for a genuine soul food meal?

Answer: cornbread

Of course, cornbread is the usual accompaniment. It may be baked in a loaf pan (square, round or rectangular), or in muffin tins or in corn stick tins. Another alternative is the 'hot water' pancake-type patties. Maybe we might sneak a small pat of butter or margarine on it while it's hot!

Answer: peach cobbler

There's nothing like a good, old-fashioned, juicy peach cobbler to bring a delicious soul-food dinner to an end. Of course, that's assuming we have room left over for dessert!

Answer: sweet potato pie

For some, nothing completes a seasonal soul-food meal like a piece of sweet potato pie!
