Indigenous Foods - The Discussion

Indigenous foods are staples in our diet, even if we don't know it.Foods from corn to tomatoes to jerky are native to the Americas, even if it took centuries of effort to get the foods we love to our tables today.This Dispatch is the story of 7 different dishes and foods that have their origins in the Americas:Chips & SalsaSuccotash Maple SyrupWild RiceJerkyBison BurgersCedar Plank SalmonEach food item has a story of innovation by the people who first brought them to the table that's shared for you to enjoy.This is "The Discussion," where Nick & co-host Bridget talk about this material and talk about some of the stories that didn't quite make the cut for the Dispatch while snacking on some of our favorite snacks that are natively American.If you'd like to hear the full story, listen to "The Read" where Nick narrates the entire story, or you can find the link to read the full blog post below!Read the full Dispatch on our blog.Watch "The Discussion" on YouTube.You can find our hub with the written dispatches, book suggestions, and more at: amoreperfectplate.comPlease be sure to subscribe to keep discovering interesting American stories.
