About the Book:
Michigan is home to an amazing array of food and drink brands, each with a fascinating story behind it.
Ready-to-eat breakfast cereals like Kellogg’s and Post changed how the world eats, and Gerber first made baby food commercially available. But the Wolverine State is bursting with many other notable edibles, such as Faygo, American Spoon, Jiffy, Sanders and Vernors. Better Made uses Michigan potatoes for its chips. Fudge, pasties and anything made with cherries are also local standards. Others are gone but not forgotten, like Awrey’s and Twin Pines.
Authors Gail Offen and Jon Milan explore the history and stories behind all of these and many, many more.
My Review:
As a Michigander, I love to read about the history of our state. Classic Michigan Food and Drinks is a wonderful book about the famous yummies that were, or still are, made in Michigan. I was born and raised in Michigan, still residing in the center of the Lower Peninsula and there are a few brands that I wasn't familiar with in this book. I love the historical factor and the bridge to the present represented in Classic Michigan Food and Drinks. I'm happy to include the paperback I received as a review copy on my bookshelf.
And have you really lived if you haven't tried a Faygo at least once?!
