Series FoodStory
Summary "Follow a food trail and you'll find yourself crisscrossing oceans. Join Nina Mukerjee Furstenau in Green Chili and Other Impostors as she picks through lost tastes with recipes as codes to everything from political resistance to comfort food and much more. Pinpoint the entry of the Portuguese in India by following green chili trails; find the origins of limes, trace tomatoes and potatoes in India to the Malabar Coast; consider what makes a food, or even a person, foreign marvel how and when that designation ceases. Food history is a world heritage story that has all the drama of a tense thriller or maybe a mystery. Whose food is it? Who gets to tell its tale? Respect for food history might tame the accusations of appropriation, but what is at stake as food traditions ebb away with changes in soils, in biodiversity? The great, and not-always-good, story of us is on the table"-- Provided by publisher
