About This Quiz

If you stop and think about it, there's a reason they call it soul food! Whether we realize it or not, our relationship with food is more powerful than our relationships with our partners. After all, you cannot live without food. As we eat our way through this quiz, we are going to figure out which popular soul food is more than just a food to you. 

We often think of our spirits as being represented by animals or otherworldly celestial beings. As nice as those definitions of our truest selves may be, we think it's more likely that we are best reflected by a soul food. While some of our spirits might be warm and gooey, like mac and cheese, others might be denser, like meatloaf. Whatever the case, we simply want to help you figure out the soul food that does, in fact, represent your soul! 

Through a recipe of questions about your favorite foods, your inner spirit, and the way you navigate the kitchen of life, we think we'll be able to accurately match you with your spirit's own personal soul food. Which one do you identify with most? Grab a napkin and get going to find out!
