There is now a backlog, a big one, of podcasts. I run across or hear about podcasts that are long done. One such podcast is Setting the Table.
It is hosted by Deb Freeman, and it “explores the stories and histories of African American cuisine and foodways. From Sunday barbeques to the spirits in your cocktails, African Americans have created the foundation of modern American cuisine, yet African American food is one of the least explored food genres.”
The beer and distilling episode where I suggest you start before moving onto the other topics.
For beer, look for something, anything from a minority owned brewery. Or something that uses historical ingredients like yams or paw-paw fruit. Beers that are influenced by the mash-up of agriculture and culture.
