How did New England Boiled Dinner originate?
Definition
In the 1880s, when immigrants, particularly those from Ireland, Italy, and Portugal, began to arrive en masse in New England, the culinary customs they brought from their homelands were incorporated into the regional cuisine and cooking style. Single-pot dishes such as meat and seafood stews, which were commonly eaten in Europe, were adapted to the local ingredients. Braised and pickled beef, a mainstay of Britain and Ireland, became the popular dish called New England Boiled Dinner.

How did African slaves influence Southern Cuisine?
Definition
The food and style of cooking in the South was profoundly influenced by the African slaves. Not only did African-American slaves introduce many now basic foods, such as okra, yams, black-eyed peas, collard greens, sesame seeds, and watermelon, they also brought cooking techniques that had been familiar to them in West Africa, such as deep-fat frying. Working as plantation cooks both during and after slavery, they were considered to be even better cooks than the French chefs who had been brought to America. Southern food replaced the plain, bland English cooking and African Americans developed much of what is now thought of as Southern regional cooking.With food supplies limited to the vegetables that they could grow, and only a limited amount of free time for hunting or fishing, slaves relied on their African traditions to combine complementary ingredients with small portions of meat stretched to flavor vegetable dishes. The term soul food referred to food made with feeling and care, and that came from the soul, or one's memory. Recipes were typically handed down through the generations by word of mouth.
Term
How did Hoppin' John originate?
Definition

Hoppin' John was traditionally served on New Year's Day to ensure good luck and prosperity, but it is now served year-round. Collard greens and cornbread usually accompany Hoppin' John. The greens are said to represent money and the cornbread signifies gold.

How do Creole and Cajun differ?
Definition
Cajun cooking, earthy and robust, has been described as “country cooking.” It is based on food that was indigenous to the area and on one-pot meals that contain a variety of ingredients gathered from the “swamp-floor pantry.” Creole cooking, like Cajun, depended heavily on whatever foods were available. But Creole food, unlike Cajun, began in New Orleans. Creole food, or “city food,” was created by sharing cooking styles and is considered more sophisticated and complex than Cajun cooking.
