The Story of Alabama in Fourteen Foods investigates well-known culinary customs in Alabama to offer a fresh perspective on key historical moments. Using fourteen iconic foods, meals, and beverages as a prism for examining the state's numerous cultures and customs, Emily Blejwas writes a book that is equal parts history, travelogue, and cookery.
Food traditions have played a crucial role in Alabama's history in shaping its traditions, cultures, regions, social movements, and events. Each meal included has a tale with both local and global impact that is firmly entrenched in Alabama identity. Highlights include the barbecue clubs in Sumter County, the banana docks in Mobile, Appalachian Decoration Days, the production of cane syrup, peanut boils, and eggnog gatherings.
