A Casual History of Food and Drink

Depicting history through food is a way of looking to the future through the eyes of the past. Using “food culture” to showcase a people’s culture is a way of cleansing the grime from our spirits with the soul of our nation. In an era when people are increasingly concerned about nutrition, balanced diets, and especially food safety, “keep the essence and discard the dross” is the right way to approach food history. It is also essential to laying the foundations for the future and preserving our national culture.
