Food in history

[stoutfellow]

This is interesting: The Food Timeline. I haven't looked into it in depth, so I can't vouch for its accuracy in detail, but I did check one item - hot dogs - where a number of false stories circulate, and they do give (what I understand to be) the correct explanation, so I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. Check it out. (Hat tip to Making Light.)
