Abstract

In investigating why Franco-American cuisine is not more visible, the author consults with Kristin Langellier, a professor at the University of Maine who studies Franco-American cultural identity, and Raymond Pelletier, associate director of UMaine's Canadian-American Center. Pelletier notes that "making a splash" is "absolutely counter to the grain" of French New Englanders. James Tranchemontagne first served Franco dishes at Cafe Uffa! in Portland, which he recently re-opened as The Frog and Turtle in Westbrook. He says the food of his youth served large families and wasted nothing and was also about generosity and sharing. With recipes.
