Food of the Enslaved: Kush

Posted by Ryan Kerr


Food of the Enslaved: Kush
This is the fourth and final video of a series that focuses on historic foods of the enslaved African community of North America.

We recently had the privilege to visit Gunston Hall in Mason Neck, VA. While we were there, we met Michael Twitty, an historical interpreter and culinary historian who specializes in food of the African-American community from enslavement in the mid-18th century to post-reconstruction in the mid to late 19th century. In this video, Michael shows us how to make Kush which is essentially a Hash made with leftover cornbread. This is one of Michael’s most popular dishes!

Gunston Hall holds a very special place in American History. It was the home of George Mason, a founding father in American history. Many of the rights and liberties we enjoy today as American citizens can be traced to the insistent influence of George Mason.

In this video, Michael shows us how to make “Akara”. A fried snack that uses black eyed peas as it’s base.

Food of the Enslaved: Okra Soup

Posted by Ryan Kerr


Food of the Enslaved: Okra Soup
This video is the first of a series that focuses on historic foods of the enslaved African community of North America.

We recently had the privilege to visit Gunston Hall in Mason Neck, VA. While we were there, we met Michael Twitty, an historical interpreter and culinary historian who specializes in food of the African-American community from enslavement in the mid-18th century to post-reconstruction in the mid to late 19th century. We’re so grateful Michael shared this delicious recipe for Okra Soup. Okra is an important food in modern Southern cooking, and it finds its North American origins in the fascinating cuisine of the enslaved African community.

Gunston Hall holds a very special place in American History. It was the home of George Mason, a founding father in American history. Many of the rights and liberties we enjoy today as American citizens can be traced to the insistent influence of George Mason.

Food of the Enslaved: Barbecue

Food of the Enslaved: Barbecue
This video is the second of a series that focuses on historic foods of the enslaved African community of North America.

We recently had the privilege to visit Gunston Hall in Mason Neck, VA. While we were there, we met Michael Twitty, an historical interpreter and culinary historian who specializes in food of the African-American community from enslavement in the mid-18th century to post-reconstruction in the mid to late 19th century. In this video, Michael grills beef ribs and prepares two sauces: an 18th-century style vinegar mop, and a more complex 19th-century style BBQ sauce.

Gunston Hall holds a very special place in American History. It was the home of George Mason, a founding father in American history. Many of the rights and liberties we enjoy today as American citizens can be traced to the insistent influence of George Mason.
