I wasn't aware. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of British food is fish and chips, and it doesn't seem like it would be spicy, but I could be wrong.[/QUOTE]

Good. Let them stay confused. That will mean that there will be that much more for us.
The Brits who have visited or live in Africa (of which there are many--the U.K. at one time owned a huge chunk of it) probably don't find it as strange. Southern food evolved from African food that the slaves introduced to the Colonies. Many of the plants used in the cooking of it are indigenous to Africa, and weren't known here until the slaves brought them over.
If they are confused by Southern food, they would be absolutely befuddled by soul food.
