Food History Podcasts Spring 2018

If we are what we eat then what a society consumes ought to reveal much about their culture, economy, and politics. In spring 2018, students from Dr. Karen Senaga's HIST 4910: Growing, Cooking, Eating: Food in American History course produced a community cookbook and podcasts based on their entries. In doing so the students provided brief histories of foods and foodways while offering up personal reflections and expressions. Much like the diversity of foods and foodways, these podcasts range in approach from academic script to impromptu discussions. Nevertheless, don’t mistake the podcasts as singularly about food and history. They serve a small smorgasbord of USU culture. Bon Appétit.
