Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-18 00:00:00 Sam Rosas Every page was a delight. Focuses on essays about barbecue in this issue -- there are 4 other "Cornbread Nation" books so far -- but ranges remarkably far within that subject, describing the way Jews in Memphis have found ways to accomodate the kosher laws without being excluded from the heart of Southern cuisine, pit barbecue vs. doing the job above ground, the possibilities in side dishes, whether real barbecue can even be found in California, and George Washington's barbecue dining experiences. There is also a lovely piece about Mullet, another about scuppernongs, and one about the history of the Viking cooking range. There is even one about eating clay.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-05-21 00:00:00 Ilkka Nivala Obligatory reading for anyone who's a food geek, especially if you are a barbecue wonk. If you've spent a whole day (or night) cooking a 10 pound pork shoulder or obsessed about which combination of 15 spices will taste best on a chicken thigh (and really, who hasn't?) then this book is for you. About 3/4th of the book is dedicated to barbecue - the rest is dedicated to southern cooking and food, including a chapter on a geophagy, something I never heard of... the eating of dirt. Who knew that mudpies were a nutritional staple in some parts of the world!!??
