Welcome to Litsy!

I read the tagged book a few months ago and it is one of my top reads if the year so far. There is a chapter about American date species going extinct and they talk about how some farmers started selling Date Milkshakes to help with sales. Today, on my road trip a few hours away from the farms, I found a pit stop that sells them, so I had to try them. They are very good, more of a nutty flavor to them than a fruity flavor that I was expecting. 👍

Very fascinating! Really puts things in perspective and gives you “food for thought”. Did you know there is an Endangered food list? It has plants, animals, and methods of preparing food that are endangered of being extinct. I learned so much and there are some alarming patterns. The author travels the country to research and taste 9 of the 350+ American foods on the list. If you like history, food, travel read this book! TW: animal slaughter
