Answer to Question 2

Even before West Africans were brought to the United States, their food habits had changed significantly due to the introduction of New World foods such as cassava, corn, chiles, peanuts, pumpkins, and tomatoes during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The slaves brought a diet based on these new foods and native West African foods, such as watermelon, black-eyed peas, okra, sesame, and taro. Adaptations and substitutions were made based on available foods. Black cooks added their West African preparation methods to British, French, Spanish, and Native American techniques to produce American southern cuisine, emphasizing fried, boiled, and roasted dishes using pork, pork fat, corn, sweet potatoes, and local green leafy vegetables.
