I am referring to the history of the cultural antecedents of the western world, which have also had a dominant effect on the vast majority of the human race. I am not trying to address the history of Rapa Nui.
- tatterdemalion 10y agoYou're going to have to tell me how much street food was eaten by the manorial serf of Europe, or the American homesteader, or a native person under the encomienda. Don't be smug, western history is full of food cultures in which the poor prepared their own food. If your scope is restricted to the food culture of the urban poor, its worth pointing out that the American urban poor today largely do not prepare their own food, for much the same reason as in historical examples, with seriously deleterious health outcomes.
