I've slowly been finding my way through the many great documentaries that the Southern Foodways Alliance has posted on the web. I mentioned one made of the Cochon de Lait festival at the foot of
crrush's great post on the subject.
There's a complete index at:
http://southernfoodways.org/documentary/film/index.htmlMy favorites (in no order) so far:
*
To Live and Die in Avoyelles Parish (Cochon de Lait festival, Mansura, LA)
*
Cut/Chop/Cook (Scott's Barbeque, Hemingway, SC)
*
Cured (Allan Benton, Madisonville, TN)
*
Phat tai (Peter & Sau Nguyen, Biloxi, MS)
I dare you to watch "Phat tai" and not be driven mad at the thought of eating the fresh catch with them on the shrimper boat.
