Real Soul Food, any simple recipes?

Question

Basically, I'm white and have not had the pleasure of trying this food and have always wanted to. If you have any recipes I would really appreciate them. Nothing too spicy or difficult though.

Also, if you know of any Soul Food restaurants in north east england please let me know.

I had a soul food dinner for my friends a few weeks ago, wow the smell of the house was great.

I made:
Smoked ham bones and greens
Honey Fried Chicken
Chicken and Homemade Dumplings
Fried Catfish
Pork Chops smothered
Mac and Cheese, homemade not out of the box
Okra and Tomatoes
Fried Corn
Sweet Potatoes
Hush Puppies
Red Beans and Rice
Homemade Corn Bread
Homemade Peach Cobbler and homemade Ice Cream

28 people showed up and there was not a crumb of anything left to feed the cats.

Answer 4

Bag of frozen collard greens
6 strips of bacon cut in half
1 tbsp salt
