  "What can Google tell us about the way that individuals plan recipes throughout the year? During which month are people most likely to conduct a Google search for "eggplant"? This series of infographics, created by the Google News Lab in collaboration with data visualization company Truth & Beauty, are dedicated to the annual rhythms of how individuals think about food. This team has created a series of year clocks that show how the number of Google searches for a particular item ebb and flow throughout the year. Some trends are clearly impacted by holidays - unsurprisingly, searches for "champagne" generally peak around New Year's Day. Other trends are influenced by crop growing seasons. Of course, growing seasons vary around the world. Unless otherwise noted, all "year clocks" reflect data from the United States. One series of "year clocks," however, compare and contrast Google searches for three popular crops (kale, apple, and asparagus) in three different countries." -- MMB, The Scout Report, November 03, 2017, Volume 23, Number 44
  
  

• The Southern Foodways Alliance -- The Scout Report, October 06, 2017, Volume 23, Number 40
  "From its mission, the Southern Foodways Alliance (SFA) "documents, studies, and explores the diverse food cultures of the changing American South." This means that on their website, visitors will find lots of media documenting Southern food. The film section features a collection of short films on topics such as fish camps, which are informal, often outdoor, fish restaurants that emerged along with the textile industry in the Carolinas and still exist as inexpensive family-friendly restaurants today. Also included are a biography of New Orleans chef Susan Spicer and Sour, Sweet, Spicy: Making a Home in Oxford Mississippi, a profile of the Zaap Thai restaurant founded by Thai immigrants. There's also the "Gravy" podcast series, with a new episode every week, including "Kimchi and Cornbread," "Korean food in Montgomery Alabama," and "Pie by Another Name," on burekas - hand pies filled with potato, rice, spinach, eggplant, and meat, baked by members of the congregation at Or VeShalom Synagogue in Atlanta. The scholarship section reminds us that the SFA is affiliated with the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi, and lists lectures, publications, workshops, and fellowships for food scholars." -- DS, The Scout Report, October 06, 2017, Volume 23, Number 40

Read this article by Barry Yeoman, which uses a holistic perspective to examine how native people in south Louisiana are trying to save their communities and foodways as the Gulf of Mexico rises and destroys their land. Yeoman may not be an anthropologist, but this article would really be useful in any number of anthropology classes. Read it. -- Food Anthropology]
