The culture and taste of America ... they created unique tasty dishes that have been adopted. Other foods that were consumed by them , foods that have been transferred or expelled by their owners , mainly foods derived from animal parts that Europeans regarded as waste , so they were forced to create some meals there . Adding as little they had, they hunted wild animals like the weasel , rabbit, raccoon and fished to feed the family . Through this process , women and men were creating a style and culture of the kitchen. Women were frying, baking and boiling, while men were roasting meat on fire outdoor (ie , a barbecue).

During the civil rights era , we begin to discover our darkness and all those who were with him , including our kitchens.
