Five years ago, while hitching a ride on a ten-man shrimp boat in the Gulf of Mexico, she encountered her only major incident of discrimination. "The captain thought the thing was going to sink or there was going to be a terrible storm," she said...
...friends and relatives came up from New York by special bus. The bus was late, and could not make it up the last hill. No matter. Everybody, including Justice of the Peace Donald M. Feder, just waited happily, drinking champagne or beer and eating Alice Brock's shrimp curry, turkey and roast beef, the same kind she used to serve in her restaurant in nearby Stockbridge.

So soul-food restaurants that cater to whites rarely carry chitlins on their menus, instead stick to more conventional dishes, such as shrimp gumbo, "smothered" pork chops and ham hocks. Even those have little appeal to a gourmet palate. Soul food is often fatty, overcooked and underseasoned. Vegetables are boiled with fatback for so long that their taste and nutritional value go up in steam; meats have to be sprinkled liberally with salt and pepper to give the eater...
