Also curious about the principles.

When I was invited to sing at a Kwanzaa event back in winter 2010, the food that they served there was really, really basic and not at all "traditional" African cuisine. If I remember correctly, there was fried chicken, homemade spaghetti and meat sauce, maybe some sort of potato salad, and then regular salad and then some other stuff that I can't remember. I didn't eat anything during that event.

Since it's an African American holiday, I would assume "traditional" soul food would probably be served.

My mom hates spicy stuff too!
She doesn't even use black pepper in her food.

And everything she cooks is bland and icky.
She's easily the worst cook in the family.
