Alabama's history and culture revealed through fourteen iconic foods, dishes, and beverages

The Story of Alabama in Fourteen Foods explores well-known Alabama food traditions to reveal salient histories of the state in a new way. In this book that is part history, part travelogue, and part cookbook, Emily Blejwas pays homage to fourteen emblematic foods, dishes, and beverages, one per chapter, as a lens for exploring the diverse cultures and traditions of the state.

Throughout Alabama's history, food traditions have been fundamental to its customs, cultures, regions, social and political movements, and events. Each featured food is deeply rooted in Alabama identity and has a story with both local and national resonance. Blejwas focuses on lesser-known food stories from around the state, illuminating the lives of a diverse populace: Poarch Creeks, Creoles of color, wild turkey hunters, civil rights activists, Alabama club women, frontier squatters, Mardi Gras revelers, sharecroppers, and Vietnamese American shrimpers, among others. A number of Alabama figures noted for their special contributions to the state's foodways, such as George Washington Carver and Georgia Gilmore, are profiled as well. Alabama's rich food history also unfolds through accounts of community events and a food-based economy. Highlights include Sumter County barbecue clubs, Mobile's banana docks, Appalachian Decoration Days, cane syrup making, peanut boils, and eggnog parties.

Drawing on historical research and interviews with home cooks, chefs, and community members cooking at local gatherings and for holidays, Blejwas details the myths, legends, and truths underlying Alabama's beloved foodways. With nearly fifty color illustrations and fifteen recipes, The Story of Alabama in Fourteen Foods will allow all Alabamians to more fully understand their shared cultural heritage.

Perfect size, style, and material

I love the Charlie wallet, it’s so sleek, fits everything you need, looks good, and made out of the best material. The amount of pockets plus the center fold makes this a really hard product to beat

Great option for a slim wallet.
Color: Black Tonal
I love this wallet. i bought my fist one and it lasted for a decade before the seems finally got some wear. It will eventually wear out some chips because of how tightly i pack it, but that is on me for trying to fit extra cards in there. Its a perfect slim wallet.

Best Wallet EVER
Color: Black Tonal
This is my third wallet from this brand, and it’s just as impressive as the others. I had my first one for about seven years before I lost it, and I ended up giving my second to a family member in El Salvador who loved it. I went with the black this time, and it’s amazing, sleek, high-quality, and slim, exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting a stylish, durable wallet that’s great value!
