The People's Cookbook

While searching for the true meaning of food, Jenn and I had the idea to compile recipes for a cookbook that features typical peasant and pauper food from different parts of the world--what the People eat! Like black beans, corn tortillas, and chiles from Guatemala. I think the People understand better the true meaning of food than anyone else. The book can be divided by season and will feature foods that are popular during each season, like tomatoes in the summer and turnips in the winter. It will require a a lot of research and travel so if you want to help, let's get cracking!
I also have a suggestion to improve the blog. I think that the song from Oliver (the musical) should play while someone is visiting the blog. It approaches the true meaning.
Food, Glorious food
Hot sausage and mustard!

great idea! can i start traveling today? maybe someplace warm...

a tradtional fall food from belgium is pureed pumpkin soup.

another people's food is a piece of ham wrapped around a whole endive, then baked in a beschamel sauce. and meat and potatoes. and bread and cheese. and sausage and fries. this is the kind of food i used to eat at a small community soup kitchen in brussels. you could get a huge plate of warm food for $2.
