World on a Plate A Tour Through the History of America's Ethnic Cuisine

During the Depression, the Colombosians, an Armenian family, began bottling and selling the yogurt they made on their small Massachusetts dairy farm. They labeled their bottles "Colombo" because nobody could pronounce their name. The Colombo story, the journey of ethnic food from exotic product to everyday item, exemplifies a common pattern. "The World on a Plate" tells the story of the Colombosians and other immigrant families who have changed and influenced our food and created a uniquely American culinary pastiche.Denker, Joel is the author of 'World on a Plate A Tour Through the History of America's Ethnic Cuisine', published 2007 under ISBN 9780803260146 and ISBN 0803260148.
