" A lively journey through the history of ethnic food in America. Anyone interested in knowing how Indian, Jewish, Lebanese, Italian, and Asian foods got their start will not want to miss this book. A must for food history buffs." -- Joan Nathan, author of "Jewish Cooking" "in America" and "The Foods of Israel Today", "The anomalies of America''s most common foods are as striking as their diverse origins. Denker traces a fascinating route from Greek diners to Mexican chili joints to Pakistani kebab houses to reveal the history of popular foodways that make up the polyglot culinary culture of America."-Betty Fussell, American food historian, "[Denker] manages to capture the minute details of food--sights, smells, tastes--that are notoriously difficult to convey in words. Denker likewise brings to life the activities of often flamboyant individuals, the business people and clever risk takers who discerned, correctly, that markets could be created for 'exotic' foods."

Synopsis
The World on a Plate is the story of how immigrant families have changed and influenced our food and created a uniquely American culinary pastiche. Joel Denker, a longtime food and travel writer and a scholar of American folklore, conducted fascinating interviews with a range of ethnic-food merchants in crafting a history of our colorful food makers--the grocers, vendors, manufacturers, importers, restaurateurs--and the products they have given us., During the Depression, the Colombosians, an Armenian family, began bottling and selling the yogurt they made on their small Massachusetts dairy farm. They labeled their bottles "Colombo" because nobody could pronounce their name. The Colombo story, the journey of ethnic food from exotic product to everyday item, exemplifies a common pattern. "The World on a Plate" tells the story of the Colombosians and other immigrant families who have changed and influenced our food and created a uniquely American culinary pastiche., The story of how immigrant families have changed and influenced American food and created a uniquely American culinary pastiche

    Typically bungling performance from Evri (Hermes): the package was said to be ‘out for delivery’ on 2 September, but it did not arrive until 8 September, after I had expended much effort in trying to find out what had happened to it. In contrast, top marks for the seller: accurate description, excellent packaging, prompt transport from USA (until Evri got its hands on the package), and good-natured support when I explained the problems I was having with the notoriously inefficient delivery firm.

    Shipping was insanely fast! Packaging super tough! Came as described and beyond the value. One of my new favorite additions to my books.
