I’m doing an assignment for my Anthropology of Food class and we have to discuss a family Thanksgiving recipe. This is something my family likes to make. As far as we can trace it is my great-great grandmother. So at least 1940/1950s.

    That’s the most New England thing I’ve heard in a while.

  3. We’ve been making that, minus the grapes and apples, for Thanksgiving my entire life (I’m 56). It came from my dad’s side, he was born and raised in Kansas.

    ive been trying to figure out what direction i want to go since I graduated with my useless bachelors in nutrition a few years ago. I looked at gastronomy programs but I don’t think its for me, although all of the classes in the programs are super attractive and are right down my alley. I live in semi-rural NC and I like it here so I don’t think a gastronomy degree would serve me here. respectfully, what do you expect to do with that degree?
