Our food practices here are a result of waves of immigration, the challenges those immigrants faced, their foodways, and the interaction of what was already here and what could be grown, imported or produced. This course will explore the waves of immigration, the challenges they faced and where and how they made their way into enriching the American diet. For the last class, we will meet that evening in my home to share a meal. Everyone will be expected to contribute a dish that either represents their own heritage or the ethnic food they most enjoy eating.
