"Considering the territory from Portugal and Morocco east to Iraq and Turkey as a wildly diverse but single region, Helstory (history, U. of Denver) explores such matters as whether people eat out or at home, how religious rituals differ regarding food preparation, what people of the three desert religions eat on religious holidays, why the same few ingredientsare prepared in so many different ways even in the same country, why demonstrating hospitality and good will with food is so important, and whether people still eat locally produced food or American fast-food and prepared food."
