Some of these are nearly forgotten, while others have entered the culinary mainstream. This talk traces those migrations and looks at seven items that have become enduringly popular. About the speaker: Richard Foss has been writing about food and drink professionally since 1986, when he started reviewing restaurants for the Los Angeles Reader newspaper. Since then he has written for over twenty different publications, including contributing articles to the Encyclopedia of World Food Cultures and the Oxford Companion to Sweets. His new book, “Food in the Air and Space; the surprising history of food and drink in the skies,” was released in November 2014 and covers the history of dining aloft, from the hot air balloon and zeppelin era to the space station.
