Sampler: what’s new oin the world of food
Some treats from the last few days:
Food & Think discusses the sugar shortage: its detrimental impact on American business and its positive impact on the American diet?
GoodEater.org proposes its candidates for top 5 moments in food history from the end of the last ice age, to the beginning of the 20th century. Events are chosen based on their effect on human societies.
Accidental Hedonist reprints a rather telling food fact from Time Magazine that illustrates why there are sometimes financial barriers to eating well. The comments are interesting to read.
If you go to the movies, what do you have with your popcorn: soda, pop, or coke? That might depend on where you’re ordering from. Check out this regional map . I found the link on a class website for the World History of Food, taught by James LaFleur at the University of Virginia. If I were a UVA student, you could bet I’d take this class!
Lastly, if this picture from foodphotoblog.com doesn’t make you want to get a waffle press
