From Hardtack to Homefries

I was hoping for more on how the food shaped America or how America shaped food which isn't what I got.
This is about distinct people or groups and their connection with food. And I might need to read through again but, I'm not sure how the food told us more about major events in all the essays.

So I'm not sure how well the thesis held up with the evidence but, it was still enjoyable to read and I aquired many interesting facts.
