Perception and Varieties

Some find food to be time-pass activity, some eat and cook for the pure entertainment of their passion and for some it's a miracle to eat. A satisfied man and a hungry man don't see the same thing when they look upon a loaf of bread. As a hungry man, you would be a really happy person but the satisfied man is not quite impressed with a loaf of bread. This disatisfaction leads him to new routes, he want to venture around the different variations of the same thing, this is normal human psychology.

This venture caused the discovery of all the unknown varieties. These varieties is just another source for understanding our history.

In the past, food was considered to be important but to make a perfect dish, not all resources were available. So, they got to do the best of what they got.

The ingredients they use gave us  a clear idea about their geographical conditions. The way it was prepared depicted their situation and the work they put in shows how often it was prepared.

These varieties gave us a clear image of the culture an situation of the time line of its origin.

It is quite fascinating that food was taken as a very minor contributor to learn our past and it deeply saddens us.

To conclude, food is one of the most important aspects to learn our history but not given the importance it requires, but as the first paragraph of this post says, it depends on how people look at things. I look forward to history chapters based food xD
