Salt Cod, and Green Wine: The History of Portuguese Food
I have been eating Portuguese food long before I understood its history. When I visited Portugal I learned that salt cod, and vinho verde carry centuries of survival, and faith.

The largest empire in history wasn’t built on weapons, but on a hidden food strategy. Genghis Khan’s army had no supply chains. They survived on high-protein, ultra-portable rations. This allowed them to move faster than their enemies.
