Published: March 31, 2019, 7 p.m.

A conversation with Michael Kideckel.\n\nToday we\u2019re talking about capital W capital T white trash. Deemed the \u201cmost intriguing book of the 1986 spring cookbook season\u201d, and the \u201dmost beautiful sociological document\u201d by Harper Lee, White Trash Cooking is a collection of Southern recipes and photographs by the late Ernest Matthew Mickler. Michael and I discuss meanings of the words ""authenticity"" and ""folk"", why cookbooks are valuable sociological documents, and how to cook a possum.
