Interesting little piece on the notion of Southern food, by Georgia chef Hugh Acheson.

No, that would be "Czechican" or "Ameriech" *g*

Is any cultural food really pure anymore? It's all influenced by regions we've visited

restaurants we've eaten in, and our own backgrounds. It's too much of a melting pot these days. My DH is Japanese and I know I don't make sushi like his grandma did.

Right--the notion of cultural totem foods evolving was what drew me in.

Foods evolve; cultures evolve and mix. I enjoy it. smileys/smile.gif

There are definitely standards and classics that comprise the canon, and I think we'd agree that it's important to know those before you riff on them. But the riffs are exciting. smileys/smile.gif
