Molasses and Atlantic World Foodways

Blackstrap molasses



Molasses, a staple of the Southern diet, is often labeled as one of the three M’s of southern foodways; meat (salt pork) and meal (corn meal) are the other major staples. Molasses served as a baking ingredient, condiment, cold remedy, and was central to special occasion meals in the South. But what do molasses production and consumption tell us about class and race in the South? Today I am starting a new series of post on molasses using records from the WPA’s “America Eats” project, travel accounts, manuscript collections, and oral interviews. As often as possible I will have related recipes. If you have any molasses based recipes please share them in the comments section below. Here is chili recipe below that calls for molasses.
