Food is exciting, and there's no doubt it's a huge part of our lives. That's why we love making it, sharing it. This presentation explores the foods that changed the world in profound and delicious social, political and economic ways. Our hunger for survival, as well as new and tastier fare, had unexpected side effects that molded history. Whether it be the fuel for revolution, or the bread broken between adversaries, food has always been something taken seriously throughout history. It might be something we tend to take for granted, but some foods were so remarkable that when they were introduced, they changed the course of history for entire countries, continents, and civilizations. These foods have an even bigger story to tell. Some foods made such a big impact, they actually changed the world.
