Every day, millions of families around the world gather
– at the table or on the floor, in a house or outdoors – to eat
together. Ever wondered what a typical meal is like on the other side of
the world? Or next door?
Cultural geographers Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluisio visited twenty-five families in twenty-one countries to create this fascinating look at what people around the world eat in a week. Meet a family that spends long hours hunting for seal and fish together; a family that raises and eats guinea pigs; a family that drinks six gallons of Coca-Cola a week.
