Midweek Munchies "Hungry Planet"

A Veg*n Meme What wonderful foods did you bring home from the grocery store?

Midweek Munchies: What Vicki is contributing for the week: Not long ago, Leslie did a wonderful post about her book collection and recommended Hungry Planet - What The World Eats by Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio. I was intrigued, so I checked it out from my library, and I'm so glad I did. I couldn't help but draw a parallel between the people in these pictures to us Midweek Munchers -- all of us presenting the food we'll be eating for the week. So, I begin with some beautiful photos of people around the world and food they may be eating this week. One week's food in September for the Ayme family in Ecuador. Cooking method: wood fire. Food preservation: natural drying. One week's food in November for the Mustapha family in Chad. Cooking method: wood fire. Food preservation: natural drying. One week's food in February for an extended family of thirteen in Bhutan. Cooking method: clay stove fueled by wood fire. Food preservation: natural drying. One week's food in May for the Ukita family in Japan. Favorite foods - Kazuo: sashimi. Sayo: fruit. Mio: cake. Maya: potato chips. One week's food in January for the Natomo family in Mali. Cooking method: wood fire. Approximately one week's food in April for our family in Idaho. Cooking method: electric stove, oven, & microwave.
