Food has always been a source of passion and temptation - and can even change the course of human history. Wheat and rice gave rise to the world's first empires, the pursuit of spices determined the course of European exploration and conquest, and modern capitalism is unthinkable without coffee and sugar. This book, written by anthropologist Merry White and historian Benjamin Wurgaft, offers new insights into the relationships between culture, society, and the foods on your table. The authors travel through time and space-from ancient Roman feasts to McDonald's, from the Italian countryside to the bustling streets of Tokyo and Seoul, from mountain coffee plantations to the average department store-and uncover a wealth of untold stories that will surprise the most sophisticated reader.
