What we eat : a global history of food
by Pierre Singaravâelou
"A political, social, but also intimate world history of food that brilliantly shows us the tension between the promotion of specific cultural identities and the standardization of habits that we usually associate with globalization. Coffee originated asan 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"
