Pasta may go back to the Etruscans as claimed, but clearly tomato sauce is newer. It is required reading for anyone seeking a detailed discussion of food history research in diverse times and places. Thank you for your feedback. From prehistoric snail "herding" to Roman banquets to Big Macs to genetically modified tomatoes, Near a Thousand Tables is a full-course meal of extraordinary narrative, brilliant insight, and fascinating explorations that will satisfy the hungriest of readers. The story of canning is described in considerable detail, and so is frozen foods, but Clarence Birdseye (modern frozen foods) and JR Simplot (instant mashed potatoes, dehydrated onions, and frozen french fries) are omitted.This book is a nicely done overview of the subject. It begins with the domestication of animals (the dog was first in about 11,000 BC) and goes all the way to modern day subjects such as the green revolution.Concise sections cover almost every food topic. And, as a survey book should do, it made me want to learn more.
