Description: In the throes of
the Great Depression, a make-work initiative for authors-called "America
Eats"-was created by the WPA to chronicle the eating habits, traditions,
and struggles of local Americans. Mark Kurlansky, author of Salt and Cod,
unearths this forgotten literary treasure, chronicling a bygone era when
Americans had never heard of fast food or grocery superstores. Kurlansky brings
together the WPA contributions-featuring New York automats and Georgia
Coca-Cola parties, Maine lobsters and Montana beaver tails-and brilliantly
showcases them with authentic recipes, anecdotes, and photographs.
