Did you know that many well-loved dishes were influenced by immigrants? For example, the al pastor taco is a popular menu item at Mexican restaurants, but this tasty marinated pork dish was inspired by Lebanese immigrants who introduced the shawarma cooking technique to residents of Puebla, Mexico.
The Traveling Taco: The Amazing & Surprising Journey of Many of Your Favorite Foods provides the back story for 12 popular dishes. Each two-page spread is served in bite-size text blocks, enhanced by brightly colored illustrations by Kimberlie Clinthorne-Wong. A map at the end charts the journey of the 12 foods. Kids of all ages will enjoy digging in to this fascinating exploration of food origins!
