{"product_id":"american-food-a-not-so-serious-history","title":"American Food: A Not-So-Serious History","description":"An illustrated journey through the lore and little-known history behind ambrosia, Ipswich clams, Buffalo hot wings, and more.\nThis captivating and surprising tour of America’s culinary canon celebrates the variety, charm, and occasionally dubious lore of the foods we love to eat, as well as the under-sung heroes who made them. Every chapter, organized from A to Z, delves into the history of a classic dish or ingredient, most so common―like ketchup―that we take them for granted.\nThese distinctly American foods, from Blueberries and Fortune Cookies to Pepperoni, Hot Wings, Shrimp and Grits, Queso, and yes, even Xanthan Gum, have rich and complex back stories that are often hidden in plain sight, lost to urban myth and misinformation.\nAmerican Food: A Not-So-Serious History digs deep to tell the compelling tales of some of our most ordinary foods and what they say about who we are―and who, perhaps, we are becoming.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1419738143\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.1419738143.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wharton, Rachel|Hall, Kimberly Ellen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Excellent condition with just a hint of character.
