The Secret History of Food: Strange But True Stories about the Origins of Everything We Eat | 
I had to fast this morning before my annual physical so of course I picked up a book about food. 😂#nonfictionnovember
pickThis book focuses on specific foods. What we thought was good for us may not be and we thought was bad for us is really bad for us. The fish you‘re eating, may not be the fish you think your eating. The Olive Oil your consuming may not be Olive Oil. Honey, is full of whatever the bees consumed, including toxic plants and maybe even anti-freeze. Corn, we can‘t even digest it. You‘ll definitely not look at certain foods the same way again.
so-soStarts with flavors carried through breast milk and covers a whole lot more from historical food discoveries to modern uses and trends. I didn't think I had an internal reading voice but totally read this hearing the comic wit of Mike Rowe as there is some opinions and snark within. I think my favorite chapter was about ice cream and it's ties to the war during sugar rationing but being so American as to get it to soldiers for moral boosting.
pickThis #audiobook was a fun yet informative look at the (mostly American) history of food. Why are British pies different than American? How did ice cream influence American history? What makes chili peppers important to humankind? The answers often surprised me! A great treat of a book. 😉
This puts me at 380 books in 2021, making this my best year ever! 🥳📚🎧 (I read 379 in 2020.)
A totally rad #NewReleaseTuesday coming at ya! I‘ve been on the list for this forever, so 🤞🏻 this week is awesome.
Why does it seem like it‘s 1987-1993 everywhere?? Am I just getting old?
