Summary

As part of their tour of Key Ingredients: America by Food, the Georgia Humanities Council and the University of West Georgia conducted more than 75 oral history interviews to document the state's food traditions. Key Ingredients: America by Food explores the connections between Americans and the foods they produce, prepare, preserve, and present at table – a provocative and thoughtful look at the historical, regional, and social traditions that merge in everyday meals and celebrations. The interviews from Georgia provide a fun and engaging look at local traditions. This special episode highlights interviewee Rosalind Westmoreland's memories of preparing dishes during the Great Depression. Key Ingredients: America by Food is an exhibition developed by Museum on Main Street, a special collaboration between the Smithsonian, state humanities councils, and rural museums to bring our nation's cultural heritage to you. Museum on Main Street thanks the Georgia Humanities Council and the University of West Georgia for their permission to share these interviews with you.
