Because Igrew up in a large Italian family, I understand the importance of food to a culture. If you read my proposal, you would know that this is why I have chosen to base my research this semester on food as it relates to southern identity. That leads to the the following video clip.
Paula Deen is a great representation of southern identity. She lost both parents befor the age of 19 and suffered from agoraphobia. She used the comforts associated with cooking southern food to cope with these hardships. This eventually led to her becoming an expert in southern food which led to her current position with a popular Food Network show. This leads to my question and the topic of this weeks blog: Find another example in todays society about how southern food affects southern identity.
