“Elias excels at selecting details that encourage readers to consider what food habits reveal about the ethos of individuals as well as of nations. . . .Megan Elias reminds us that even the most quotidian ritual can be decoded to expose social hierarchies: the question is not only ‘What’s for lunch?’, but also who goes hungry, and who does the cooking, serving and cleaning up after it?”
