Chicken and Watermelon is perfect for farming on shit quality land for lots of nutrients. Chickens are Chicken, and produce eggs, and eat basically anything. Watermelon grows like a weed, and doesn't need to be buried. Freed slaves could basically only purchase poor quality land, so this became a staple of freed blacks.
It'll never stop being funny how 'liking fried chicken' is somehow a grave insult in Merica.
