The hungrily awaited sixth volume in the Cornbread Nation series tells the story of the American South--circa now--through the prism of its food and the people who grow, make, serve, and eat it. The modern South serves up a groaning board of international cuisines virtually unknown to previous generations of Southerners, notes Brett Anderson in his introduction. Southern food, like the increasingly globalized South, shows an open and cosmopolitan attitude toward ethnic diversity. But fully appreciating Southern food still requires fluency with the region's history, warts and all. The essays, memoirs, poetry, and profiles in this book are informed by that fluency, revealing topics and people traditional as well as avant garde, down home as well as urbane.

The book is organized into six chapters: "Menu Items" shares ruminations on iconic dishes; "Messing with Mother Nature" looks at the relationship between food and the natural environment; "Southern Characters" profiles an eclectic mix of food notables; "Southern Drinkways" distills libations, hard and soft; "Identity in Motion" examines change in the Southern food world; and "The Global South" leaves readers with some final thoughts on the cross-cultural influences wafting from the Southern kitchen. Gathered here are enough prominent food writers to muster the liveliest of dinner parties: Molly O'Neill, Calvin Trillin, Michael Pollan, Kim Severson, Martha Foose, Jessica Harris, Bill Addison, Matt and Ted Lee, and Lolis Eric Elie, among others. Two classic pieces--Frederick Douglass's account of the sustenance of slaves and Edward Behr's 1995 profile of Cajun cook Eula Mae Dor --are included. A photo essay on the Collins Oyster Company family of Louisiana rounds out Cornbread Nation 6.

Published in association with the Southern Foodways Alliance at the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi. A Friends Fund Publication.

Tough and Long-Lasting Toy for Heavy Chewers
Size: Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
The KONG Extreme Tires are built for dogs who chew through just about everything else. Made from KONG’s most durable rubber, the toy is designed to stand up to strong jaws while also offering a fun shape that dogs enjoy rolling, chasing, and chewing. The tire design has grooves that can be stuffed with treats or peanut butter, which helps keep dogs engaged for longer play sessions. This toy is especially useful for large breeds or heavy chewers who usually destroy softer toys in minutes. While no toy is completely indestructible, the Extreme Tires hold up far better than most and provide both chewing satisfaction and mental stimulation. The size is hefty and best suited for medium to large dogs, and smaller breeds may find it too heavy. Pros: The rubber is extra durable, the tire shape adds variety and fun, and the grooves can be filled with treats for extra engagement. Cons: It may be too heavy for smaller dogs, strong chewers can still wear it down over time, and it isn’t designed to bounce or fly like other KONG toys. A rugged and reliable toy made for power chewers. The Extreme Tires provide long-lasting fun and double as a great option for treat-stuffing, making it one of KONG’s toughest and most useful toys.

To small for 2 month German Shepherd. It was my bad for ordering a small. But I never saw product specs saying the actual size. Remember never buy a to small of toy for your puppy as it’s a choking hazard.

Totally indestructible
Size: Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
My daughter's lab kills any toy he gets. This was perfect! We accidentally left it in his kennel while out one day and it was still in perfect condition. Totally worth the money if you dog is a tyrant with toys!!
