Story4.5 out of 5 stars 159
Eating is an indispensable human activity. As a result, whether we realize it or not, the drive to obtain food has been a major catalyst across all of history, from prehistoric times to the present. Epicure Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin said it best: "Gastronomy governs the whole life of man."

Loved it. So surprised at the origins of various foods and the origin of certain dishes. Dynamic narration.
