If you're a fan of uniquely American convenience foods like Twinkies or Swanson's TV Dinners, this is a pretty good book to have on your shelf. Wyman gives us mini-histories of more than 100 varieties of grocery staples and the men and women behind them. Biggest surprise: she puts the old joke to rest by telling us why they're called Grape Nuts...yes, there's a REASON! And it makes SENSE! You will never look at that box the same way again.
