“Take the wrinkle out your belly. I don’t eat too much meat so I am strong at 80.”
How does food connect you with your community?
“Im a soul man. When I grew up, I had two pieces of bacon, one egg and grits. sometimes rice. Some mornings- one piece of sausage, one egg. In evening, we had beans six days a week. No meat. Black eyed peas, lima, pinto, Great northern. On Saturdays we had pork n beans and hotdogs. On Sundays we had chicken. My daddy didn’t believe in too much meat. My daddy would buy the chicken, and my mom would kill it and cook it. The process was communal.”
