A smorgasbord is a buffet that consists of a variety of cold and hot foods. The word smorgasbord means bread and butter and open sandwich. It also means an extensive array or variety.

The purpose of the site is to present a variety of historical and cultural food topics that explore the social and political impact of food in the world.

Food reflects and defines the social, cultural, and political tone of society. The topics will cover past and present history and trends in the US and the world that focus on food . I hope you enjoy the site. Suggestions or comments: Webmaster
