    What we learn when an anthropologist and a historian talk about food. 
 
 
  
From the origins of agriculture to contemporary debates over culinary authenticity, Ways of Eating introduces listeners to world food history and food anthropology. Through engaging stories and historical deep dives, Benjamin A. Wurgaft and Merry I. White offer new ways to understand food in relation to its natural and cultural histories and the social rules that shape our meals. 
 
 
  
Wurgaft and White use vivid storytelling to bring food practices to life, weaving stories of Panamanian coffee growers, medieval women beer makers, and Japanese knife forgers. From the Venetian spice trade to the Columbian Exchange, from Roman garum to Vietnamese nuoc cham, Ways of Eating provides an absorbing account of world food history and anthropology. Migration, politics, and the dynamics of group identity all shape what we eat, and we can learn to trace these social forces from the plate to the kitchen, the factory, and the field.

    Egyptian Trade and Diplomacy -...

    Ancient Egypt’s prosperity and cultural richness were significantly shaped by its early trade networks and exchanges with neighboring regions. From the very beginnings of Egyptian civilization, trade played a crucial role in building economic strength and fostering diplomatic relationships. The development of trade networks allowed Egypt not only to obtain essential resources but also to influence and be influenced by surrounding cultures. 
The origins of Egyptian trade practices can be traced back to the Predynastic period, when local communities exchanged goods such as pottery, beads, and tools. As Egyptian society evolved and centralized under powerful pharaohs, trade became more organized, enabling long-distance interactions. By the time of the Old Kingdom, Egypt had established a network of trade routes that stretched beyond its borders, connecting it to various civilizations across the ancient world. 
One of the earliest and most vital trade routes was the Nile River, serving as a natural highway that facilitated the movement of goods and people. The Nile connected southern and northern Egypt while also linking the civilization to Nubia and further into sub-Saharan Africa. This route allowed the exchange of gold, ivory, ebony, and exotic animal products, which were crucial to the Egyptian economy and the creation of luxury goods. Additionally, maritime trade across the Red Sea connected Egypt to the Arabian Peninsula and even the distant lands of Punt, where incense, spices, and other valuable commodities were sourced.
