Description:

It has been said that food is not just nourishment, but an expression of one's culture. When they come to America, immigrants are likely to shed their native language and traditional clothing to blend into their new home-but food is typically the last to go. This month on KUOW, we look at our local history through food. Reporter Ruby de Luna brings us stories from some of the native and immigrant groups in the Puget Sound region. Come explore their rich cultures?and their foods.
