It Is A Complex Tale Of Ethnic Mingling And Borrowing, Of Entrepreneurship And Connoisseurship, Of Food As A Social And Political Symbol And Weaponand A Thoroughly Entertaining History Of Our Culinary Tradition Of Multiculturalism. The Story Of Successive Generations Of Americans Experimenting With Their New Neighbors' Foods Highlights The Marketplace As An Important Arena For Defining And Expressing Ethnic Identities And Relationships.

It Also Tells Of The Mass Corporate Production Of Foods Like Spaghetti, Bagels, Corn Chips, And Salsa, Obliterating Their Ethnic Identities. The Book Draws A Surprisingly Peaceful Picture Of American Ethnic Relations, In Which 'Americanized' Foods Like Spaghettios Happily Coexist With Painstakingly Pure Ethnic Dishes And Creative Hybrids.
