A deliciously fascinating, expertly written global tour of cooking, eating, and drinking, told through objects in the collection of the British Museum.

RepastTaking a broadly chronological approach to the subject, the book is arranged into thirteen thematic chapters, starting with explorations of hunting and gathering and ending with the history of eating out; along the way, agriculture, alcohol, and cooking?among other subjects?are also investigated. Interspersed among the many remarkable objects examined in each chapter is a series of in-depth essays on such topics as tea (the world?s most consumed drink after water), pork (one of the world''s most consumed meats), and wheat (the source of 20 percent of the world''s human calorie consumption), revealing the many social, cultural, and religious aspects of food.Repast
