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.

Description of The Meaning of Food

This 3-part series about American food and culture, proposes to bring us together over food. Eating is a form of communication that is rich with meaning. Our relationships to food - universal, most comfortingly familiar, yet ever-inviting topic - reveal much about us. The series will sit down to dinner with people from a wide variety of cultures across America, and through their stories explore and celebrate our shared human experience.
