"Tell me what you eat," wrote a French gourmand 200 years ago, "and I will tell you
who you are." This class examines history through the lens of food. The way we eat/ate
is always changing. We will discuss how invaders, wars, immigrants, ethnic groups,
technology, the media and politics change our food habits. Students will maintain
food journals and write a mini-term paper.
