The Collard Sandwich: A True Taste of Lumbee Heritage and Resilience
On the homestead, we learn to treasure every part of the harvest. We celebrate the deep satisfaction of turning simple ingredients into nourishing meals. But some dishes do more than just feed the body; they tell the story of where you come from. For me, few things are as culturally meaningful as the Collard Sandwich —a true staple of my Lumbee heritage from North Carolina. If you’ve never had one, you might be picturing a cold-cut sandwich with a leafy garnish. Think again.
