I came into this after finishing A History of the World in Six Glasses by Tom Standage, and while he presents some interesting points about the impact of food on history, it isn't as catchy or memorable as the first book.Interesting, not really memorable

What did you love best about An Edible History of Humanity?
The way it was written was both chronological and topical. Incredibly well written and the narrator makes it come to life!What was one of the most memorable moments of An Edible History of Humanity?
Christopher Columbus was such a crazy failure....I imagine his convincing the royalty in Spain to look like a Court Jester trying to get tips!If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
What's Food got to do with it? - Humanity is not possible without the greed of food and flavorAny additional comments?

Excellent book on the subject for those interested. I didn't find the info presented as interesting or well organized as his "A History of the World in 6 Glasses," but I still enjoyed the book thoroughly. For those of you who are reading this as a first by the author, definitely get "Glasses" first.The reading by Wilson was excellent, as he always is. (If you like his voice, he was amazing for Citizen Soldiers, which is best in the Unabridged version.
If you happen to like the subject of the history of food, like me, one book I can totally recommend is "Salt: A World History," by Mark Kurlansky. It's a bit long and detailed, but I loved that about the book and the whole history was fascinating. It was also well read by Scott Brick, who has a great reading voice.
Not as good as "6 Glasses" but fascinating
