Can you be a good mother without packing a cute bento box for your child? Should lunch always be followed by a nap? Is lunch a place to demonstrate democracy or hierarchy? These questions and more are considered in Lunch: a History. This six-continent survey of the history, customs, and representations of the midday meal explains who eats what for lunch, where and when they eat it, and what it means in the larger cultural context. The first international history of lunch, this book provides anecdotes and analysis that present lunch as a meaningful and much-loved daily event. | Lunch by Megan Elias, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
