How else can you explain a group’s appetite for watermelon and fried chicken?
Regional dietary preference based upon availability and style of preparation? I'm a southerner, love fried chicken, preferably fried in bacon grease in a cast iron skillet. Watermelon is a great summer treat that is grown in abundance down here. Nearly all black people in the United States came out of the south and brought a love of the same foods we love along with them. Those that ever left, that is.
