The secret history of food : strange but true stories about the origins of everything we eat / Matt Siegel. by Siegel, Matt (Food writer), author. New York, NY : Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, [2021] Subjects Food -- History.   Food habits -- History. ISBN:  9780062973214 (hardcover) : 0062973215 (hardcover) Description:  270 pages ; 24 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  "Is Italian olive oil really Italian, or are we dipping our bread in lamp oil? Why are we masochistically drawn to foods that can hurt us, like hot peppers? Far from being a classic American dish, is apple pie actually . . . English? "As a species, we're hardwired to obsess over food," Matt Siegel explains as he sets out "to uncover the hidden side of everything we put in our mouths." Siegel also probes subjects ranging from the myths--and realities--of food as aphrodisiac, to how one of the rarest and most exotic spices in all the world (vanilla) became a synonym for uninspired sexual proclivities, to the role of food in fairy- and morality tales. He even makes a well-argued case for how ice cream helped defeat the Nazis. The Secret History of Food is a rich and satisfying exploration of the historical, cultural, scientific, sexual, and, yes, culinary subcultures of this most essential realm"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 641.3009 Si Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 641.3009 Si Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 641.3009 Si Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 631.3009 Si Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 641.3009 Si Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 641.3009 Si Checked In Add Copy to MyList
