Tonight, we\u2019ll read from a little cookbook titled \u201cPennsylvania Dutch Cookery.\u201d The publisher and author are unknown.\xa0\n\nThe Pennsylvania Dutch live primarily in Southeastern and South Central Pennsylvania. Some Pennsylvania Dutch live in the historically Pennsylvania Dutch-speaking areas of Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.\n\nThe continued use of the term ""Pennsylvania Dutch"" was strengthened by the Pennsylvania Dutch themselves in the 1800s as a way of distinguishing themselves from later waves of German immigrants to the United States.\n\nThere are possibly more than 300,000 native speakers of Pennsylvania German language in the United States and Canada.\n\n\u2014 read by 'V' \u2014\nSign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to\xa0snoozecast.com/plus!\nLearn more about your ad choices.
