The American Plate: A Culinary History in 100 Bites by Libby H. O'Connell
4.0
This was an entertaining historical review of foods that are important to the US palate, going back to the pre-colonial times and ending at the beginning of the 21st century. Some of the profiles seemed like a bit of a stretch (the food itself was chosen so the author could discuss a specific moment in US history, for example), but overall it was a good, light food history that was an easy read since it came in small bits that made the book easy to pick up again and again.
