Well, we’ve come to the end of this gastronomic journey. While the book was interesting, I think some of the foods were not significant. I enjoyed learning about the foods I did not know of and although I know the aim of the book was to focus on foods with a rich historical background concerning wars and myths that messed with the origin of food, I think quite a few important foods were missed. Foods such as croissants, coffee, wine, Philly steak, apples, cheese, and popcorn. History-wise or not, I think they played a HUGE part of food culture. The final rating for this book is…
NEXT UP:
I’ll be reviewing 4 memoirs as I dislike them and I want to get them out of the way. One is by Nick Carter, another by Zlatan, an autobio on Messi and a memoir by Derrick Coleman Jr.
Yes, popcorn should have been on the list. Especially when I think of all the popcorn I will devour watching the next Mission Impossible.

I love rice, but… genetically modified rice doesn’t sound appetizing at all. 😝 I think my favorite is Jasmine Rice. And I hope it’s not GMO. 😲 Off to ask Google… 😅

That’s okay, Grace. 😃I think the author was low key bias, though.
