For the Decoration Day Gullah Campfire Supper with Stories and Songs our menu will reflect foods that would have been eaten in the Lowcountry by the United States Colored Troops while in the Beaufort District, middlins or rice grits with meat when available and vegetables from the nearby plantations. The menu will also include dishes prepared using recipes from the cookbooks of Edna Lewis,”the woman some have called the “Julia Child of Southern Cuisine,”. Edna Lewis taught that we should be proud of our food culture, of country life, and living in relationship with the seasons. Black people developed a food tradition that built the southern food culture. “Our condition was different. We were brought here against our will in the millions, enslaved, and through it all established a cuisine in the south…the only fully developed cuisine in the country.” Edna Lewis We will honor Edna Lewis through our cooking for the May event. Join us May 29, @ 7:00 (1900) for a Decoration Day event filled with good food, stories and songs around our campfires! Tickets are available through our online farm store. #ednalewis #chefednalewis #blackcooks #blackchefs #blackfood #blackfoodies #farmtotable #fieldtofork #foodtravel #travel #travelandleisure #traveling #hipcamp #blackhistory #food #foodhistory #agritourism #unitedstatescoloredtroops #decorationday #memorialday #outdooradventures #eatoutside #campfire (at Morning Glory Homestead) https://www.instagram.com/p/COvZMHOBSY1/?igshid=117mxihb3xaa
