Miss Patti Explores Culinary History in February with the Pepper-Pot Woman of Historic PhiladelphiaHollers were sung by street vendors in the city calling out their wares. In a Philadelphia marketplace the Pepper Pot lady sang: Pepper Pot, All hot. Makee Back Strong. Makee Live Long! Come n’ buy my Pepper Pot. “The negro-woman lamented the ravages of the fever, because it prevented the sale of her pepper-pot,” wrote a traveler in 1803. The Philadelphia recipe for pepper pot called for herbs, onions, potatoes, and okra seasoned with pieces of smoked meat (recipe below). Like the image from yesterday post, this piece of art depicts the seminal role of female African entrepreneurs in colonial America. African women came from a tradition in which they controlled local markets and the sale of produce, grains, and herbs as well as prepared foods. This was particularly the case in around port cities in West and Central Africa bustling with hundreds of people involved in the sale and trade of salt, slaves, guns, and kola nuts among other commodities. In Africa men carried out long distance trade but women dominated local trade. In the Americas this tradition continued—most often enslaved African men carried on long distance trade particularly running teams of mules loaded with goods between one colonial city and another and as sailors on merchant ships. Enslaved African women worked for white masters who sent them out as food venders selling candies, pastries, and bowls of a delicious piping out one pot meal like pepper-pot. Masters mandated that say 25 cents of every dollar the slave earned she could keep.
