Food is part of a country’s identity. It can provide a sense of place, history and identity. This book highlights foods that have been part of people’s lives in Britain since prehistoric times until today. These may be meals that were popular at the time, telling us how people lived, or they may be meals that are significant to a particular moment in history. Some of the foods may still be familiar today; some may make you feel hungry, some may make you feel glad that they’re part of history and not part of your lunch!
