History, tradition and origin
Southern cooking blends Indigenous, West African and European traditions. Corn, the main grain, became bread baked in a skillet. Coastal communities boiled shrimp or baked clams with corn and potatoes for large outdoor gatherings. Baked macaroni and cheese has been part of Southern holiday tables since the 1800s.
Food economy and industry
Corn is the largest crop in the United States, though most is grown for animal feed and fuel. Catfish farming is centred in Mississippi and neighbouring states. Gulf shrimping supports coastal towns but faces competition from cheaper imports. Food festivals built around local dishes are an important source of visitor income.
