Fed, white, and blue: finding America with my fork
Description
Are you planning to become a U.S. citizen? For Simon Majumdar, it wasn't an easy question. As a British ex=pat living in L.A. and fiercely proud of his roots, he felt that if he was going to trade in his green card, it ought to really mean something. What makes one American, anyway? He thought he should at least understand that before making up his mind. So, to find out, he set off on a journey to discover America using what he knows best: food. Over the course of a year, Simon crisscrossed the United States, stopping in locales such as Plymouth, Massachusetts, to learn about what the pilgrims ate (and that playing Wampanoag football with large men is to be avoided); Kansas, for Shabbat dinner; Wisconsin, to make cheese (and get sprayed with hot whey in the process); Alaska, to fish for salmon alongside a grizzly bear; and Los Angeles, to cook at a Filipino restaurant in the hope of making his in-laws proud. Along the way he makes some friends and digs in to the food cultures that make up America--brewing beer, farming, working at a food bank, and even tailgating. Full of heart, humor, history, and, of course, food, Fed, White, and Blue is a warm funny and inspiring portrait of becoming an American in the twenty-first century.
