Which month do we celebrate Black Cooking? White Cooking? White Music?

I am not sure America celebrates whiteness per se. But we do celebrate Greek heritage, Irish heritage, Polish heritage, etc.

So if folks want to celebrate Black music, it is not an issue. The precedent has been set.

Which month do we celebrate Black Cooking?

I'll never ever forget my experience in planning a Black History Month celebration dinner while in the Navy. Old saying: "Only one person in the Navy ever did anything original. Everyone else just copied his work." So, of course, I looked at the menu from previous dinners.

Collard greens, hamhocks, etc. etc. This struck me as reinforcing racist stereotypes. Also, those aren't "black" foods... I grew up on that in Mississippi. Anyhow, I researched recipes that were truly African and Carribean in origin. Big thumbs down on that dinner.

The next year, I gave the people what they wanted. Fried chicken, ribs, greens, black-eyed peas, cornbread, and watermelon. Rave reviews.
