2018 marked our second year here on the internet. Whew! We took an exciting new direction last year, with a deeper commitment to looking at food history and culture through the lens of a pocket. Our mission at The World in a Pocket is to better understand the world through the lens of a dumpling (err, any pocket food!). Last April we met in Durham, N.C. to revisit our mission and keep us on track. It’s always a good idea--even (especially!) with passion projects--to check on your goals.
Our love for pupusas led us on a search to understand why so many people from El Salvador are coming to America. The timeline below takes us from artifacts found in Joya de Ceren, “El Salvador’s Pompeii”, a native village buried by ashes from a volcano eruption, where food and utensils were found as they were being cooked almost 2000 years ago, to present day.
