The History Of War . . . . . As Told By Food.

Ah, you're going to like this, I hope. Two of my favorite topics, History and Food!!

This video is the history of modern war, (WWII to the present), with animated food representing the nations involved.

The Vietnam war sequence is wonderful, and the ending is fantastic.

Can you name all the countries (regions) and the dishes that are representing them?

This is very, very clever.

Enjoy!!

Sir Robin - You would probably enjoy reading Curry: A Tale of Cooks and Conquerors. It is a very interesting history of how a variety of invasions have changed food in India and Pakistan throughout history....

Holy crap! Very well done!

It took me a while to get the Soviet analogy, because I don't associate that food with them.

By the way, have you seen A History of the World ix Six Glasses? I think you'd probably like it.
