REVIEW:
The Food Timeline is a great resource for all history and social studies teachers looking for a new angle on their subjects. Here, you'll find links to sites that feature such things as a comprehensive biography of Christopher Columbus, which includes the gastronomical delights of his day, and the history of the hot dog and which German city may or may not be able to claim its creation. This is a great site to bookmark and just browse through periodically to find some fun tidbits to add a little "flavor" to your classes. Teachers will also appreciate the page of links to curriculum resources and lesson plans.
