from The History of American Food · host Margaret Hardin

In case you are new here - these are the NSFW Eps.  Not serious food content, fit for sharing.  Instead, we are being silly about media - mostly about the 19th Century.  Though here, about the new SHOGUN becasue - so VERY COOL!So we've come to the end of Shogun - a story that both haunted and informed us in our younger years.  Racist, Orientalist - as a book, YES!  But this version. as far as I'm concerned redeems the Entire Venture. And as a 1970's work written by a former prisoner of war during the Japanese Occupation during WW2, writing a book trying to get into the somewhat legendary history of Japan - it did what James Clavell wanted, it introduced Japan as a complex society to America and Britain and it's still sprawling empire at the time. Writing is hard, editing is much much easier.  Clavell's 1st try - needed some work, but somebody had to bust open the doors.  And Shogun did that.Now - how did the Blackthorne/Anjin-san story actually end?  Unclear.  But that's fine with me.Now let's all cheer for whatever H. Sanada has up his sleeve and hope it comes with All The Costumes.As always - you can reach us on the internets.Jamie Lewis (plagueofstrength.com & IG @plagueofstrength)and his NEW YouTube Apprearances on Carved Outta Stone Wednesday AM or Friday PMSchedule Details: instagram.com/carvedouttastone&Greta Hardin (The History of American Food podcast & @THoAFood all over)Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
