25 Foods Served at Black Functions in the 1970s No One Makes Anymore
Potlikker: the Black history behind American food. / @potlikker_official This video was produced exclusively for Potlikker. This channel tells African American history through the food that carried it: Sunday dinners and church suppers, Juneteenth tables and the cookout, Big Mama's cast-iron skillet and the recipe cards tucked into a family Bible. We honor the Black cooks and families who shaped American cuisine and built a legacy the textbooks left out. Creative Process Disclosure Scripting: we research and write every episode from scratch, drawing on vintage African American cookbooks, handwritten family recipes, and oral traditions handed down in families. We tell it as factual, narrative-driven history. Editing: restored archival photography, vintage kitchen imagery, and custom motion graphics, finished with professional color grading. Voiceover: original human narration, recorded in-house exclusively for this channel. Copyright & Licensing © 2026 Potlikker. All rights reserved.
