Abstract

How Black is sweet cornbread? Do WE put marshmallows on sweet potato casserole? "Sugar Don't Go On Grits: The Great Migration's Effect on How We Eat" will be a conversational space where panelists retrace the divergent pathways of the African American culinary tradition. Leaning on archival materials, we'll highlight how Black people altered recipes in different areas of the United States due to the availability of ingredients and to match local tastes while reflecting on how these changes have led us to debate the cultural appropriateness of foods we eat.
