Maybe you caught it when it originally aired, but I just discovered Bizarre Foods Appalachia. With a title like that, I expected to endure an hour's worth of possum jokes, but as it turns out, the Travel Channel has produced a true salute to the wide ranging food traditions in Appalachia. All of the dishes are demonstrated by locals, from Swiss decendants cooking pfeffernusse to Native American's baking up bear...the modern way.
So grab your chestnut grubs and liver mush and pay attention. You might learn something new about local eats.
