November Book Discussion
Thursday, November 19th from 5-6pm. For November we will prep for Thanksgiving and read Gastro Obscura: A Food Adventurer’s Guide by Cecily Wong & Dylan Thuras. You can devour the whole book or just graze your way through what suits your taste. For our meet up we hope the book will inspire you to bring an adventures snack to share with everyone. The book dives into the hidden curiosities of food which is the gateway to stories about human history, science, art, and tradition.
Story Synopsis:
A breathtaking guide transforms our sense of what people around the world eat and drink. Covering all seven continents, serves up a loaded plate of incredible ingredients, food adventures, and edible wonders. But far more than a menu of curious minds, delicacies and unexpected dishes, it reveals food’s central place in our lives as well as our bellies.
History—trace the network of ancient Roman fish sauce factories.
Culture—picture four million women gathering to make rice pudding.
Travel—scale China’s sacred Mount Hua to reach a tea house.
Festivals—feed wild macaques pyramid of fruit at Thailand’s Monkey Buffet Festival.
