Frederick Douglass Opie on The Splendid Table From America Public Media

I am getting resettled in Boston thus will be away from blogging until next week. The following is a prerecorded interview I did on The Splendid Table From America Public Media

Hog and Hominy

This week it's soul food, or what some think of as the culinary calling card of African Americans. It's an odd juxtaposition that out of great poverty and struggle came some of America's best eating. Our guest is history professor Frederick Douglass Opie, author of Hog and Hominy: Soul Food from Africa to America (Arts and Traditions of the Table: Perspectives on Culinary History).
