An anthology of selections from various works that focus on food as a metaphor for one's thoughts, one's nostalgia and hidden pains and pleasures - an expression of one's identity and culture through gastronomical preferences. 56 excerpts in all, from various genres and various languages. A tasty way to explore the nuances of culture and emotions through one's food.
