ISBN: 1561643335 ISBN-13: 9781561643332 Publisher: Pineapple Press OUR PRICE: $13.46 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: August 2005 Annotation: Searching for the Dixie Barbecue, with its thought-provoking text and many black and white photos, is a culinary and cultural saga. Here are glimpses of a fragment of society still tenaciously clinging to deep-rooted, primal instincts; to legends of the American frontier; and to the hand-me-down, rural traditions of the Deep South. This is a story about (among other things) regional pride, homespun cookery, backwoods lore, self-effacing ?redneck? humor, shameless braggadocio, macho self-imagery, carnivorous bravado, porcine fundamentalism, boldfaced lies, and both culinary and social intransigence. This book will supply you with the elusive answers to three questions: ?What is ?real? barbecue?? ?How do you find it?? and ?What does it mean to be Southern?? |
