One of those aspects of African American History that I feel often get short shrift is just how much African, Carribean, and African American cooking influenced and informed the basis of American cooking.

Cooking and baking history is a criminally poorly studied area of history in general but I do think this is an area that is poorly discussed and also one where I am not qualified to say much beyond extreme vague comments.
