La Part du lion: Comment la cuisine afro-américaine a changé les États-Unis

A great documentary that shows how important the connection between local cuisine and one's own origins and identity is. We at Manuyoo, a Berlin start-up, bring products made in Africa to Europe & Germany, such as the Sodabi Tambour Original from Benin and other exceptionally great products. In addition to promoting fair trade with African countries, we also contribute to the dissemination of culinary delicacies.

Season 2 is just as captivating as season 1, the food is amazing, and there is an equally wonderful integration of the story behind how African American people used the medium of food to survive in America and abroad. Most pleasurable was the story of Georgia Gilmore, and how she helped the civil rights movement. Amazing!

You will see that our way of eating is not the same as other people. We have access to little of our ancestral ingredients and even the knowledge of the food and recipes. There are resources for those who want to learn: The Underground Wellroad Journal: Charting our unconventional wellness journey!

The African American Intuitive Eating Initiative shows you how to eat our food, not diet, and remain healthy!

Also, Oldways has a course, A Taste of African Heritage, that you can learn about the history of the cuisine.

It's so educational!!! You see how our culinary talent has continued to pierce the country even during a horrible time. It's exhilarating to see this talented young black man highlight other talented black chefs and street venders. Overall very intriguing & and yes I will be trying oysters thanks to this show :)

Beautiful highlight of Benin 🇧🇯 Kingdom of Dahomey.

I love anthropology and the culture of food to me is fascinating. This short series did a beautiful job of tracing the culutural lineage of African American cooking. I especially loved the quiet tone of the host and the vibrancy of the cinematography. With only four episodes, though, I feel it failed to further explore Northern influences in the great migration. I would have liked more.
