25 Forgotten Cookout Dishes Black Families Made in the 1960s That Have Disappeared

In 1964, a man in Memphis, Tennessee, dug a pit in his backyard with a shovel he borrowed from the church deacon. He lined it with cinder blocks, laid a grate across the top, and fed it hickory wood until the coals turned white. That pit fed forty-seven people on the Fourth of July. Number 19 required a batter so thin that only one woman in Macon could get it right. Number 8 disappeared because the garden it came from was sold in 1978 and nobody replanted it. Number 2 takes a part of the pig that most grocery stores stopped carrying decades ago. This is just a look at what the cookout used to be when every dish arrived in a foil-covered pan and every pan had a name on it. Hit that subscribe button.
