What Do Hot Dogs, Rum, molasses, and a 250-year-old piece of meat have to do with Independence Day?
This isn’t your grade school history lesson. This is the Family Tree Food & Stories Independence Day (or July 4th) holiday episode. In this show, Nancy May and Sylvia Lovely take a big bite into the real reasons we celebrate with pie-eating contests, backyard grilling, hot dogs, and enough fireworks that, yes, have their own food origins. In this show, you’ll also learn how food has sparked more than one revolution, and how our early colonial forefathers might have died eating off their dinner dishes.
