Let's Argue: Black Soul Food Edition

Written By: Girl Tyler

The holidays, filled with hearty food and merriment, are a great time to come together with family and friends. It’s all fun and games until the time comes to prepare the feast. Who makes the best potato salad, grandma, or your favorite aunt? Which pie reigns supreme, sweet potato or apple? Canned or homemade cranberry sauce? Be careful. One wrong answer and a fight may just break out!

Some families prefer to go the traditional route, while others opt for a modern twist on holiday standards. Play this fun game with your closest folks to see who has the most controversial opinion. Majority rules on this one. Each question is worth one point. Loser washes all the dishes!
