Chicken & Dumplings

Think chicken and dumplings is just Grandma’s comfort food? Think again. This so-called “all-American” dish was built on Indigenous land, African labor, and European memory. Long before it became a staple of Southern cookbooks and Sunday suppers, chicken and dumplings was a survival story simmering beneath American history. Indigenous peoples shaped the land and food systems that made it possible to grow, raise, and cook here. European settlers brought wheat, chickens, and their own dumpling traditions from Germany, England, and France. And in the American South, enslaved Black women turned scraps and bones into sustenance—stretching one bird into a meal that could feed a family. By the 19th century, the dish appeared in cookbooks like The Virginia Housewife (1824) and Housekeeping in Old Virginia (1879). Among the Pennsylvania Dutch it became bott boi; in Appalachia, chicken and slicks. During the Great Depression it re-emerged as a frugal staple, before post-war brands and church cookbooks turned hardship into nostalgia. This episode of That’s the T with Jeffrey unpacks the real origins of America’s favorite comfort food—showing how colonization, bondage, and survival shaped the flavors we still call home. ✊🏽 Watch, share, and subscribe to learn the untold histories simmering beneath America’s most “ordinary” dishes. 🎬 Subscribe here:    / @thatsthetwithjeffrey   💬 Tell us in the comments: what food from your family carries hidden history? #AndThatsTheT #FoodHistory #BlackHistory #AmericanCuisine #SouthernFoodways #DecolonizeYourPlate #ComfortFood #ChickenAndDumplings
