Welcome to Eating Your Culture! I am going to be taking a look at food and eating throughout the history of humankind, and I will also be attempting to recreate some of the foods that they prepared.
Food has revolved around people's lives since earliest times, and not just to survive. Every culture in the world celebrates milestone events with some sort of feasting or special food. Different ways to prepare it have been around almost as long as humans themselves. Preparation of foods for early humans would have been simply killing the animal/picking the vegetable or fruit and then eating it. It wasn't until humans harnessed fire that we see a jump in preparation like cooking foods, and the beginnings of spices. And as food preparation became more complicated, so did the tools needed for it, and the ingredients involved.
I will be attempting to recreate some of the foods, so that we can see just what our ancestors' tastes were like. I will also be tackling some modern issues, and thoughts of where our present foods trends are taking us, and future food needs.
