This entertaining and informative encyclopedia examines American
regional foods, using cuisine as an engaging lens through which
readers can deepen their study of American geography in addition to
their understanding of America's collective cultures. Many of the
foods we eat every day are unique to the regions of the United
States in which we live. New Englanders enjoy coffee milk and
whoopie pies, while Mid-Westerners indulge in deep dish pizza and
Cincinnati chili. Some dishes popular in one region may even be
unheard of in another region. This fascinating encyclopedia
examines over 100 foods that are unique to the United States as
well as dishes found only in specific American regions and
individual states. Written by an established food scholar, We Eat
What? A Cultural Encyclopedia of Bizarre and Strange Foods in the
United States covers unusual regional foods and dishes such as
hoppin' Johns, hush puppies, shoofly pie, and turducken. Readers
will get the inside scoop on each food's origins and history,
details on how each food is prepared and eaten, and insights into
why and how each food is celebrated in American culture. In
addition, readers can follow the recipes in the book's recipe
appendix to test out some of the dishes for themselves. Appropriate
for lay readers as well as high school students and undergraduates,
this work is engagingly written and can be used to learn more about
United States geography.
