According to this Texas site, a traditional Juneteenth menu would include barbecue, greens, sweet potatoes, red soda, tea cakes, and watermelon.

A glimpse over some other information says chicken, including chicken and waffles, is also proper.
Now how is it that I, a mere white nobody, can find this out, but mighty Amazon can’t?
Of course, I have the feeling that Amazon could have served an entire spread and the employees would have bitched about it because they deserve a paid day off and solidarity against the “anti-black” capitalist system.
Not that I give a damn at all. At this point, I am blacked and slaved out.
No good deed goes unpunished as they say.
These companies just need to stop. It’s not worth it.
No collard greens?!!!!?
Love when idiots are slammed by their subject communities.
That’s some funny stuff.
We have local convenience/grocery stores in rural Kentucky that make great fried chicken and fried fish. You'd never know by the outside. Even have one convenience store/gas station in town that caters weddings. Beat that ha ha.
Waffles with butter and real maple syrup. Yum. Although I don't get the "racist" thing about waffles? Are Belgian waffles racist? New one on me.
One side of my family is pure bred Savannah, GA folks. Fried chicken, corn bread, mashed potatoes, butter beans and okra are Sunday staples. As far as I know there are no black people in my family. Does this mean we can't eat these delicacies any more? What's next? Shrimp and blue crabs to be banned?
Like Popeye said, "that's all I can stands, I can't stands no more". Effs the matter with these people anyway?
The gibs-me-dats are never happy.
I was born and raised in GA and have lived in Texas the last 20 years or so. I spent one year in SC.
I’ve never, not once, had chicken and waffles. No one I know well eats them, either. I’m not planning to eat them either. I’ll take my fried chicken with mashed potatoes and my waffles and syrup with a side of bacon.
LOVE grits!
Colt 45. Proper.
I think we expect tacos on Cinco de Mayo, hotdogs on Fourth of July, corned beef on St. Patrick’s Day.
Lots of ways to prepare grits!
Mushy with a lot of butter and runny eggs is my favorite.
“...now I’m hungry for chicken and waffles....”
And those waffles were made from AUNT JEMIMA pancake and waffle mix, right???
Make that a Canada Dry Ginger Ale instead of a Coke, and you got yourself a deal! I don’t drink much soda as I get older.
It’s Canada Dry or nothing.
Amateur move. This happened in college cafeterias years ago when food services attempted to serve ethnic food and didn’t do it right so snowflakes complained (these days they would riot).
You can’t win. No ethnic food, “They’re ignoring our needs!”
Ethnic food, “They’re appropriating our culture!”
In the 40-ounce bottle, natch.
Aunt Jemima Syrup is 3X more popular among African Americans than the next closest brand.
Its White liberals telling AA’s they HAVE to be offended, I guess because they think they are too stupid to think for themselves.
On Kwanzaa, Will everyone get Skittles and cough syrup?
Black food up north = Southern food.
Culturally, Blacks are Southerners.
And Newports.
I love black food and all other ethnic food and I am as white as snow. WTF is wrong with people?
