RP213: Native American Foods of Arizona
ReMARKable Palate #213: Native American Foods of Arizona
This week, we speak with Dawn Melvin about some of the dishes made with blue corn in Arizona. This special ingredient is sacred to many Native American tribes, and with so many tribes in Arizona, there are a number of wonderful ways of enjoying it. I get to sample 3 of them while Dawn tells me how they’re made. At the end of the show, we’ll hear some music from Tony Duncan, a talented performer who also treated us with some Apache dances at the Arizona media event where we met Dawn. Music from Estun-Bah, which means “for the woman” in the Apache language. This song is called Native Ways, and you can get the album at www.estunbahmusic.com
Theme Song: “Go Fish”, by Big Money Grip, from the Podsafe Music Network.
