Really Fun
My family and I love trivia and we love food so this was a good fun for us. The book is divided into 4 parts and tells about how certain food items came to be. Fun facts along with fun stories. Many interesting facts I had never known. Fun conversation while eating together as a family. It would also make for a fun gift.
