What to make for dinner?

So im having a dinner with my black girlfriend and her black family, they eat a lot. Im not sure what to make. im an alright cook but i want to make sure that my black girlfriend feels like her heritage matters to me. im not a huge fan of black culture but i know it will mean a lot to her. I dont want to come off racist so im not sure what kind of foods to make, obviously i wont make chicken or whatever thats totally racist but from what ive read they like soul food - i cant find any soul food dishes that i think are edible most of them are like rotting zebra carcus with mango juice spilled over top and light dash of sand. Anyways the party is tomorrow and i want them to like me please help
