The Renewing America’s Food Traditions map celebrates the many distinctive regional food traditions on the North American continent by featuring a “totem food” key to the identity of each region. These totem foods are more than just important commodities—community feasts, household rituals, song, stories and the nutritional well-being of residents have revolved around these foods for centuries.
