DVD Reviews of The Meaning of Food
DVD Review: Excellent Video!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent video full of fascinating food culture. Initially I found it in the college library where I teach, and I use segments of this video in a sociology course. The video is so well done that I decided I needed to purchase my own copy. I highly recommend this video. DVD Review: Regional Food
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this on PBS TV, it is an excellent history of regional foods and very informative and interesting! If you like to see food prepared and where it started, you will love this DVD, when it is released in late April, 2005. What really interested me was the settlement (city) in Texas that is almost entirely Czech and they hold a Kolanche (Pastry) festival every year. I would love to visit them during that.
