March 24 Prompt: How does the New Orleans episode of Street Food: USA show that food represents more than just something people eat? Explain how at least one food from the episode reflects culture, identity, or community.

 Response: The po-boy got it's name because in the 1920's many people were on strike and couldn't afford much food other than this sandwich. It earned the nickname "poor-boy" because of this, which later turned into what we know today. The name of this sandwich still carries the legacies of many protesters from over 100 years ago.
