WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:03.869 many things can be said about appala but 00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:06.110 if there's one thing that is true our 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:09.110 Foods in our culture are definitely tied 00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:12.629 to each other Appalachia was populated 00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:14.869 by many different cultures including 00:00:14.879 --> 00:00:18.670 Native Americans Europeans and 00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:20.670 African-Americans have you ever thought 00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:22.950 about why you eat the foods that you do 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:25.230 do they have a cultural reference do 00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:27.189 they have a historical reference within 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.429 your family did your ancestors bring a 00:00:30.439 --> 00:00:33.110 certain recipe over from the old world 00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:35.150 or was it something that they created 00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:37.430 out of 00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:39.990 necessity as you think about these foods 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.670 that you ate when you were younger or 00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:44.229 even today is there a way that they were 00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:46.270 prepared were they prepared maybe 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.709 something was sliced or set of dice 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:50.430 maybe something was slippered or maybe 00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:52.349 something was chunked was there a 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.630 particular utensil or tool that was used 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.670 that could give you Clues on what your 00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:02.869 heritage is and what your ancestors used 00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:06.149 as well as think about how Foods were 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.390 cooked sometimes they were fried 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:09.950 sometimes they were boiled maybe they 00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:13.830 were over a 00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:17.789 campire foods have historical references 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.270 food is a fascinating lens through which 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:23.310 we can explore our history our culture 00:01:23.320 --> 00:01:26.550 our societal changes in thinking about 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.270 bread almost every culture around the 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.429 world eat bread but almost every culture 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.910 has different ways of preparing it or 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.950 different ways of using it in their 00:01:37.960 --> 00:01:41.429 meals let's take two examples one being 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.230 pasta the other one being tea let's take 00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:46.510 it from their Origins and then I will 00:01:46.520 --> 00:01:48.910 show you how it transforms throughout 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:53.270 the world and how it ends up in 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.270 Appalachia let's think about pasta often 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.510 associated with Italian cuisine but 00:01:58.520 --> 00:02:01.550 pasta has its Origins in ancient China 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.670 in Appalachia Buttered Noodles is a 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.630 comfort food almost every Appalachian 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.869 knows that buttered egg noodles when 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:11.949 you're sick is the best 00:02:11.959 --> 00:02:15.390 cure our other example is tea 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.869 cultivation of Chili's began in ancient 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.910 China and mostly for medicinal purposes 00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:23.509 but now it's become a global beverage 00:02:23.519 --> 00:02:26.110 when I think of tea oddly enough I think 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.910 of high tea maybe in an Ireland or 00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:33.550 England but napala sweet tea is always 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.309 at the dinner table those are just two 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.309 examples of foods with historical 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:42.070 significance that is so vast our 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.710 historical references are often Clues on 00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:47.270 our own ancestors and where they settled 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.149 or even who their neighbors were if you 00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.309 were in southern appalache chances are 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.589 you probably ate cornbread where corn 00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.990 was more prevalent in Grown if you were 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.990 from northern Appalachia chances are you 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.509 had biscuits where flour was more 00:03:03.519 --> 00:03:06.910 prevalent also the way that you ate 00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:08.990 these types of foods then the way they 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.070 were prepared or the spices that were 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:14.149 included were heavily influenced by the 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.710 cultures that came with these ancestors 00:03:17.720 --> 00:03:20.430 but also their neighbors if you were 00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:23.990 Scottish living next to a German family 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.350 then your cultures ended up mixing and 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.390 you're creating a new food culture 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.589 the next time that you prepare a dish 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.270 stop and think about the ingredients 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.750 you're using how are you preparing it 00:03:36.760 --> 00:03:38.710 how are you cooking the meal how does 00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:41.070 this relate to your heritage now think 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.910 about some of your favorite foods I love 00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:46.350 pizza I can eat pizza every day of the 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.670 week is that tied to my Heritage no I 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.429 have absolutely zero Italian DNA but 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.229 what it is tied to is part of the area 00:03:56.239 --> 00:03:58.350 that I grew up that had a large 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.830 contingent of ATT 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.869 immigrants so what truly satisfies your 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.470 Cravings is it something
