“Deft and era-spanning . . . Uta Seeburg compresses a vast culinary history into a collection that’s equal parts lively and illuminating.” — Mayukh Sen, author of Taste Makers What foods did ancient Egyptians think worthy of accompanying pharaohs into the afterlife? How could canned meat have doomed the 1845 Franklin expedition? Why did a king have to order his subjects to eat potatoes? Why did a sixteenth-century cookbook author argue that beavers should be considered fish? A revelatory romp through the history of humanity, this collection of fifty snackable essays answers all of these baffling culinary enigmas and more. Packed to the brim with juicy tidbits and cultural insights, How Would You Like Your Mammoth? is a fascinating look at how the food we eat defines us – and always has.| SKU | Unavailable |
