Culture and Cuisine

The United States is known for jazz and blue jeans. But travel to

Paris and ask your average French citizen about American cuisine(烹饪)and he's likely to answer，“McDonalds.”Ask the same thing of any

American citizen on any American street and I'm afraid you'd get the same

answer, or something close to it.

Hamburgers and hotdogs and fries are all fine, but with American malls and other outlets

standardizing everything from clothing to food, the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming

more homogeneous—all the same—no matter where you live. True, many Americans are eating

more varied foods these days, but these are largely the cuisines of immigrant groups, and they are

quite likely to be affected by homogenization of American cuisine.

So what exactly is American cuisine? Well, to some extent it is a reflection of our melting pot

culture, meaning that Europeans made huge contributions in the form of wheat, dairy products, pork,

beef and poultry. But American cuisine also includes products that once were known only to the

New World, including potatoes, corn, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and peanuts.

The one region of the country where you still find all these things in daily use is the Deep South.

The South lost the Civil War, but children of the southerners are winning the battle to preserve and

advance their cooking traditions—and in this case one of the few cuisines can truly be called

American, which is why we're pleased to have Low Country cuisine in this issue of food creation.

That's right, grits and gravy are back in a big way in cities like Charleston and Savannah. Truth is,

they never really left, but up until a decade ago Low Country cuisine was more common at home

than in restaurants.

In fact, a large number of tourists now go to the lower Atlantic region in order to experience

this extraordinary cuisine for themselves. Time will tell whether Low Country cuisine becomes

popular in other regions of the country in the way that, say, Italian cuisine has, but it's amazing and

heartening to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed popularity in these increasingly

homogeneous times.
