- jakeogh 9y agoThe frybread @ http://www.sanxaviermission.org http://www.sanxaviermission.org is amazing... along with everything else there. A delightful place to stop if you are in southern AZ.
- stevenwoo 9y agoListening to interviews with native Americans on the radio - frybread was an adaption to forced living on reservation land with limited rations provided by the US government in pretty inhospitable locales - instead of the diet they had before they had been defeated. Having this be a main part of their diet has led to an outsize number of cases of diabetes in the population that is susceptible to it and other health issues. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4975889 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4975889 There's a recent episode on it. http://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2017/07/20/navajo-nation-fry-bread http://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2017/07/20/navajo-nation-fry-...
