YOUR NEXT MISSION:
USA! USA! To celebrate the Fourth of July, Gastropost is paying tribute to the cuisine of our neighbours to the south this week. And what a wonderfully diverse smorgasbord it is, as befits the wide vista of American history and culture. From Tex-Mex to New England delicacies, Cajun to Californian, and Southern to Hawaiian, your mission is to show us the American foods you love best.
MISSION INSPIRATION
Gastroposter Alison Malone Eathorne was treated to an early Fourth of July, Southerninspired soul food feast, complete with “fried chicken with thyme-infused honey, collard greens, okra, macaroni and cheese, black-eyed peas and corn on the cob.” What American foods will you eat and share this week?
GASTROPOST IT
Whatever you eat in order to complete the mission, the important part is sharing it with the Gastropost community. There are several ways to do that:
