The Immigrant Story - Is Food a Way to Remember Your Roots?

Lydia Bastianich: Immigrants keep alive some of the most sort of humble and hard-scrabble dimensions of the cuisine, just to remind their grandchildren how tough it was back home. In Norway, we have a few dishes that are just like reminding us of the hardship of our forebears. There's a lot of food in Italy, ribulita, for example, is just a celebration of using yesterday's bread creatively today,. Absolutely, and now actually it's almost chic to return to those values.
