But often we tend to ignore how often we went to war for spices, or how cuisines in contemporary history looked completely different in the distant past. When looking back at history we tend to only equate it to major events, such as the French Revolution, and tend not to think at the politics behind food unless it serves a specific role in causing an event. Lately, I’ve been very into food anthropology and history. Anyways, I wander deep into the history section when I feel like working my brain out and returning to my school days, since history was my favorite subject. My precious poetry is exiled to a distant back corner of a library, it’s truly tragic. You know what else is lumped back there? Poetry. And in these parts, the history section is in the deepest darkest corner because no one really goes back there. This book was something I randomly stumbled upon in the history section of my library.
