  Are we what we eat? What does food reveal about how we live and how we think of ourselves in relation to others? And why do people have a strong attachment to their own cuisine and an aversion to the foodways of others? This title examines how people use the metaphor of a principal food in conceptualizing themselves in relation to other people.
