Giusi,

Agreed. Before the internet put world cultures on display for all to see,
what you grew up eating was "as good as gold." Books (cookbooks for rfc's
sake) were the early avenue of merging cultural information across vast
distances.

No culture's populations are immune from going hungry. The 1930's "Dust
Bowl" of the great plains of the US and Canada being a prime example.

Best,

Andy
