Using dietary information and other pertinent facts, the author assesses the nutritional status of Americans during each historical period. Special emphasis is given to American dietary patterns from the landfall of Columbus to the colonial period, the revolutionary period, the New Republic, and the 20th century. Four categories of American food are identified and analyzed: mainstream cuisine, regional cooking, "regional phenomena" (including ethnic foods), and "Pop" foods. The overview concludes with the finding that, despite delightful differences, there are striking similarities in food habits across time and cultures. By providing increased insights and understanding of contemporary American eating patterns, this book will be a substantive addition to existing texts.

"Reading Richard Pillsbury's remarkable No Foreign Food, like the Grand Opening of a new restaurant in one's neighborhood, is an exciting & pleasurable event. He engagingly chronicles the amazing diversity of America's food ways that are so central to our history & culture, but he also tells us why our eating habits are much more than mere gastronomic experiences." Karl Raitz University of Kentucky "The only serious up-to-date treatment of American food habits that I know-a subject unaccountably neglected by most students of the American scene. In Pillsbury's skillful hands, American food habits become more than just a set of cranky likes & dislikes, but instead a mirror to America's larger culture.... It's an excellent book, & I don't use that word lightly. Because it is such a good book, & because it covers so much unknown territory, it is an indispensable book for any serious student of the American scene." Pierce Lewis Pennsylvania State University
