What is meant by the term "local history" when describing foods in an area?


Local history is often associated with certain dishes and affects the development of regional fare. A good example is the Kentucky stew called burgoo. Legend has it that the mixture of poultry and red meat with vegetables dates back to the Civil War when a chef for the Confederate cavalry at Lexington created the stew from native blackbirds, game, and greens. There is no single recipe for the dish, but today it typically includes chicken, pork, beef, or lamb; and cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, lima beans, corn, and okra. It is seasoned with cayenne. Burgoo is traditionally served at picnics, political rallies, and sporting events, including Derby Day.
