What do they put in “soul food”?

So I’ve been in the United States with my girlfriend for the past few months. And I’ve never had “soul food” before...

And as an update, nofap has been going well. Suppose I don’t need to fap when I’m with someone. But I’ve noticed. ED. Basically gone. I wake up with strong erections. And I get erect when we go to make love. Usually lasts between. 1-2 hours. Has gone away sometimes but only after a long while like 1 hour plus or if I call tell she got distracted. So I’d say that’s literally cured now.

So it’s been good! So I’m here in United States. Never had soul food before. Also never been full off of literally any meal I’ve ever gotten from any restaurant. Literally ever. But I eat this soul food stuff. And the portions are fair enough but not crazy. Not even half way in and I’m starting to fill up. And actually find it hard to finish. What’s the deal?! Why is it so filling?! I can eat the same types of things by the pounds. But when I get it from a soul food place it’s soo filling? Anyone know what the deal is?
