Response to History of Southern Foods

The interesting thing about American food lies in the fact that there are very few things are actually American in origin. Whether it be southern food or just food in general very few things are truely American in nature. This is because American from the beginning was a "melting pot" of cultures that joined together to create America. So where "southern cooking" comes into play is in the way the food is prepared. Sure none of the food was invented here in the south but we changed the process of preparing the food. Thats where the southern flare comes into play and thats what makes soutern food what it is in my opinion.
