Cooking cornbread in Appalachia

These videos are from Tipper Pressley's YouTube channel Celebrating Appalachia. I've chosen three where she is cooking and telling stories, but there are other videos on the channel that cover more general topics: life, language and the culture of Appalachia.

For our non U.S. readers, the Appalachia mountains run down the east side of the U.S., stretching 2000 miles from Canada in the north to Alabama in the south. At one time the region was very remote and poor, and it developed a distinct culture in its relative isolation. It is still looked down upon by many outsiders.
