Dining with our Ancestors

by

The average person today eats that which previously, the richest Emperor could never have imagined for himself. Culture, socio-economic forces, seasons, geography, and plenty more all played a part in what was accessible to those who passed their torch-lit genes to us.

Take a seat.
