Appalachian Food Series — Episode 1: Food Was Survival Appalachian food traditions were built on survival, not trends. Meals focused on calories, preservation, and stretching ingredients across seasons. From beans and cornbread to grease, greens, and shared meals, Appalachian foodways kept families alive when systems failed. This series explores the foods outsiders misunderstood but relied on for generations. #AppalachianFood #MountainFoodways #ForgottenAppalachia #AppalachianHistory #FoodAsSurv
