Episode #2 which I wrote and we produced in August is now available on the The Citizen’s site! (here’s the link to hear it: https://thephiladelphiacitizen.org/pepper-pot-soup-history/)...The history of pepper pot soup, consumed (from the can) by millions of Americans throughout the 20th century, does not begin with #AndyWarhol’s famous canned soup painting (“Pepperpot” sold for a record $11.6 million) or at %Camden’s Campbell’s Soup Company; or via a white (German-born) soldier in #GeorgeWashington’s #ValleyForge army (credited for centuries as its creator). #Pepperpot originates in #WestAfrica (surprise?), evolves in the #Caribbean, and became #Philadelphia’s first official #signaturedish, made and sold as smoking hot servings by #entrepreneurial #blackwomen on #Philly’s #waterfront streets from the modnto late 1700’s (#colonialera) up through the eve of the 20th Century.
