Happy to see Michael Twitty show up on Tasting History to discuss a New Year's food tradition and its many origins from Africa, to the Celts, to emerging traditions of the enslaved that then permeated wider American food culture and back. Not that I need an excuse to make a rice and beans dish but I could see trying to make this for sure. If you haven't checked out Twitty's "The Cooking Gene", exploring his family's history, American history, and food history all combined, I highly recommend it.
