How America Eats: A Social History of U.S. Food and Culture, by
food and social historian Jennifer Wallach, sheds a new and
interesting light on American history by way of the dinner table.
It is, at once, a study of America's diverse culinary history and a
look at the country's unique and unprecedented journey to the
present day. While undeniably a "melting pot" of different cultures
and cuisines, America's food habits have been shaped as much by
technological innovations and industrial progress as by the
intermingling and mixture of ethnic cultures. By studying what
Americans have been eating since the colonial era, we are further
enlightened to the conflicting ways in which Americans have chosen
to define themselves, their culture, their beliefs, and the changes
those definitions have undergone over time. Understanding the
American diet is the first step toward grasping the larger truths,
the complex American narratives that have long been swept under the
table, and the evolving answers to the question: What does it mean
to be American?
