Coffee originated as an Ethiopian drink before becoming a globalized product. Ketchup, a symbol of America, is now made largely from Chinese tomato paste. In this book, two historian editors asked some 70 historians take up the challenge of telling a history of the world through one particular food. As a whole the book attempts to explain globalization through food, examining the Westernization of our eating habits as well as the triumph of non-Western dishes such as ceviche or curry in the West. In 88 short chapters-- by Arundhati Virmani, Pascal Ory, Jean-Robert Pitte, and others--on such topics as gin, the sandwich, sparkling water, port, tapioca, animal crackers, sake, corn flakes, doner kebab, tofu, pizza, the hot dog, bagels, ramen, sushi, naan, guacamole, and many more--the editors examine how food products help us to understand globalization and its limits. Each brief chapter concludes with a short further reading list. The result is an unusual and fascinating journey into the great grocery store of the world"--- Subjects: Food; Food habits;
