 * What is the name of your home town?**


 * How does your heritage affect the food that you consume in your home?**

My ancestors were Welsh coal miners and sheep herders and their main course at dinner was lamb. They ate a variety of breads and cheeses for other meals. Today, I eat mostly American dishes like chicken, rice and pasta. My heritage influences me to eat leeks, cabbage and lamb, but not regularly. 4/10/08 Interviewer: Colton Phillips. Interviewee: Dr. John Tamplin, cousin from Sharon, PA.


 * What marketing practices does your family use in order to obtain the supplies needed to prepare food from your native country ?**

I live alone and go to the local Farmer's Market for fresh bread, leeks, fennel, cabbage and cheeses. Luckily, the major grocery store chains also have fresh leeks, fennel and cabbage. I buy lamb at a local butcher shop. 4/10/08 Interviewer: Colton Phillips. Interviewee: Dr. John Tamplin, cousin from Sharon, PA.


 * Give an example of a holiday tradition in your home that incorporates food into the celebration.**

On St. David's Day (March 1), several Welsh families in town invite me to their traditional Welsh holiday dinner of roast lamb, leek casserole, red cabbage salad, and a variety of homemade cakes and assorted cheeses for dessert. My mother and father used to prepare a similar family meal when I was growing up. 4/10/08 Interviewer: Colton Phillips. Interviewee: Dr. John Tamplin, cousin from Sharon, PA.
