    CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS: THE MOTIF OF FOOD IN APPALACHIAN LITERATURE by CYNTHIA L. SIBLEY THAYER Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON December 2010 Copyright © by Cynthia L. Sibley Thayer 2010 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my dissertation committee members, Tim Morris, Lewis Baker, and Ken Roemer, for their encouragement, notes, and willingness to read this manuscript as many times as needed. Although not an English major when I began my bachelor‘s degree, when I entered the English department at UTA I quickly realized my career goals changed. I enjoyed those undergraduate classes so much and knew that I wanted to teach English. Thanks also must go to my family. My parents, Mac and Linda Sibley, not only contributed monetarily to all of my degrees but their love and support has always been without fail. Without Mom‘s nagging to write about her family in some way and then to hurry and finish the manuscript, I could have floundered around for ten more years! Although passionate about my family in the hills, I am and will always be, a ―foreigner‖ in their eyes and I have Dad to thank for that! I must also thank Grandma Malvery Roberts Begley for her stories and her willingness to take me to places in eastern Kentucky where I could not go alone. I want to thank my husband, Kevin Thayer, for his patience and love while taking classes at night, staying up to read required texts, and letting me gallivant around eastern Kentucky with the folks while he stayed at home taking care of things.

We speak of preserves and pickles in the same breath, and the fact is that pickles are preserves of a particular kind. When we say pre- serves we mean foods put up in sugar — to preserve them. Pickles are foods put up in brine or vinegar — to preserve them. In either case what happens is that the ripening process and the spoiling process in the fruit or vegetable used for pickles is stopped or prevented because the enzymes, bacteria, molds, and other organisms that cause these changes cannot live in so much sugar or brine or'vinegar. The quality of homemade pickles (and all other pickles, for that matter) depends first of all on the quality of the materials used in the making, says the Bureau of Home Economics of the U.

The art of cooking should be taught in every public school. Every boy and girl should not only know how to cook, but should be able to quickly detect and understand the causes of bad cooking. Though there may come a day when foods can be tastily and wholesomely prepared without cooking, such a vast change is unques- tionably far removed from the present age. Therefore, knowledge of cooking is of almost as much importance as that of reading or writ- ing. Thousands become regular patrons of the doctors simply because of inferior cooking. The best food in the world can be made indi- gestible and almost devoid of nourishment from the same cause. The contents of this book will plainly set 4 PREFACE. forth the best methods of preparing all the foods now used on the table of the average English-speaking family. Too often cooking is looked upon merely as the art of preparing food to tickle the palate of gourmands whose sense of taste is so dead- ened that no food, not highly seasoned, can be enjoyed.

    Stirring Up the Past: Revolutions in Tennessee Cooking This photograph, taken in 1948, shows Alma Hastings and Sue Wells, a TVA home economist, at the Hastings’ home in Henry County. ~Looking Back At Tennessee Collection Recipes from 1767 to 1985 Presented by the Tennessee State Library and Archives Southern Comfort Written by: Lori Lockhart Nothing comforts a Southerner more than food. Food can make you feel safe and loved and certain foods can even make you experience nostalgia. Foods like coconut cake (that no one could make exactly like your mother) or your grandmother’s pecan pie (which was the only pecan pie you would ever eat) soothe you in a way nothing else can. There is something special about foods like that. You take comfort in having the recipes of these special foods passed down to you. These recipes mean that you can experience the same comfort that your ancestors did. That is what this recipe collection is all about. This handout is full of “receipts” from times gone by. All of the recipes presented here are from historical collections within our holdings and span the time period 1767 to 1985. You can see history in here if you look for it. You can see examples of liquor substitutions in recipes during Prohibition, ration recipes used during World War II, and pioneer adaptations of Native American dishes. Take a walk through Tennessee history and discover a little Southern comfort along the way.

Edge COVER ART, Pickled Rope Bologna, by Emily Wallace. PHOTO, THIS PAGE, Patrick County, Virginia, by Kate Medley. EDITOR’S NOTE HERE AT THE SFA we’re devoting 2014 to the study of inclusion and exclusion at the Southern table. Inspired by the fiftieth anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, we are taking stock of the contemporary foodscape to ask who is welcomed, who is left out, and why. We’ll ask questions about race, ethnicity, immigration, nutrition, food access, land tenure, and more. In that spirit, I’ve chosen to kick off the Gravy year with an Appalachian issue. If you’re not from the mountains, it can be easy to neglect this large and vital part of our region. To that end, stay tuned for more “UpSouth” oral histories, gathered by Sara Wood, coming later this spring. A handful of stalwart SFA members, including Fred Sauceman of Tennessee and Ronni Lundy of Kentucky, have long been the experts we turn to when we examine the foodways of the Mountain South.

Little, i f any, originality is claimed for the following recipes, most of which have appeared in the Cookery columns of the Queen during the last eight or nine years, from whence they have been collected at the request of many readers of the Queen, to save reference to back numbers not always within reach. Additional recipes have, how ever, been given, to bring this little work as much up to date as possible; but all these, like the previous ones, have been carefully tested, and are all (as I know from practical experience) well within the capacity of any ordinary " good plain cook," gifted with fair intelligence and a little goodwill.
