excerpt - Because of our species' intimate relationship with food, research into food and foodways can provide a myriad of insights into cultural phenomenon, not to mention readily accessible and tangible examples to bring to our assorted professional and avocational audiences. As a case in point, I will examine a seemingly simple interaction that occurred in present-day Georgia between a group of native Southeasterners and sixteenth century Spanish soldiers. Through this very short account and some archaeological evidence, I will
explore traditional foodways of the New and Old World at a critical juncture in history, and discuss how even the most humble of meals can be interpreted through a variety of analytical lenses.
