Item Review of 'Hometown Humor, U.S.A.' (Jones and Wheeler); and 'Midwestern Folk Humor: Jokes on Farming, Logging, Religion, and Traditional Ways' (Leary)(Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology, Indiana University, 1991) Vaughan, Theresa A.Item What Color is Your Gravy?(Foodways Section of the American Folklore Society, 2008) Vaughan, Theresa A.This paper is a small exploration of my own assumptions of regional identity, and how they were modified through the simple medium of gravy. The paper also includes some research, and information gathered by talking with those interested in food from various parts of the United States and Canada. It is a small exercise in differential identity, and it is a reinforcement of some of the very basic ideas about food ways and identity which have been commented upon by numerous authors (cf. Brown & Mussell 1984, Shortridge & Shortridge 1998).
