eyerobic Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Here's a story from the lost WPA files, that mixes two of my favorite things – Anthropology and food, … another choice interview by WHYY's Radio Times' Marty Moss-Coane. Thursday 5/14/2009 – Hour Two Author MARK KURLANSKY takes us back to the days before we relied on a highway system, chain restaurants and refrigeration to get and prepare our food. His new book "The Food of a Younger Land," relies on writings from the Federal Writer's Project of the 1930's to describe the nation's food when it was seasonal, regional and traditional.

I have often thought we have traded adventure and variety for a safe and familiar menu. The same applies to accommodations. I look forward to listening, and perhaps reading the book.
