a social history of popcorn in America
by Andrew F. Smith
- 1 Want to read
"Whether in movie theaters or sports arenas, at fairs or theme parks, around campfires or family hearths, Americans consume more popcorn by volume than any other snack. To the world, popcorn seems as American as baseball and apple pie. Within American food lore, popcorn holds a special place, for it was purportedly shared by Native Americans at the first Thanksgiving. In Popped Culture, Andrew F. Smith tests such legends against archaeological, agricultural, culinary, and social findings.
While debunking many myths, he discovers a flavorful story of the curious kernel's introduction and ever-increasing consumption in North America."--BOOK JACKET.
