South Carolina Tour in 2008

Most of us eat day in day out without giving a second thought to the wealth of history and culture that shapes our dining habits and taste preferences. Many of us rejoice in the recipes, menus, ceremonies, and etiquette, history and innovations of food preparation, as well as the ever- changing availability of key ingredients unique to south carolina.

The smithsonian exhibit Key Ingredients: America by Food will tour south carolina in 2008 thanks to a partnership among the smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition service (sITEs), Museum on Main street (MoMs), the Federation of state Humanities councils, small sc towns, and The Humanities councilsc. curated by charles camp, Key Ingredients: America by Food explores the connections between Americans and the foods they produce, prepare, preserve, and present at the table – a provocative and thoughtful look at the historical, regional, and social traditions that merge in everyday meals and celebrations.

Through a selection of artifacts, photographs, and illustrations, Key Ingredients examines the evolution of the American kitchen and how food industries have responded to the technological innovations that have enabled Americans to choose an ever- wider variety of frozen, prepared, and fresh foods. Key Ingredients also looks beyond the home to restaurants, diners, and celebrations that help build a sense of community through food.
