Why do some people eat gold and others start revolutions over bread? Can chocolate really poison you? And who on earth thought of storing food in a box full of ice? This book isn’t about recipes. It’s about everything food can do: reveal your secrets, shape a culture, start a war, or make you a global superstar. Juicy facts, wild connections, and more than one weird surprise on every page.
