Re: History of Food and Eating?

No single title is ever complete or exhaustive. You should consider
several for different age and reading levels and depth of coverage. But
one I do highly recommend is FOOD IN HISTORY by Reay Tannahill, New York:
Stein and Day, 1973 (ISBN: 0-8128-1437-1). Good Luck.
