Food on Foot - A History of Eating on Trails and in the Wild

Food is a defining part of any walk, through ice or sand, high mountains or deep valleys, in new continents or on well-trodden trails. This book explores why we eat when we walk, as well as what we eat and how. Across geographies, the type of walk determines the food we eat, and more remarkably, food we eat represents the type of walkers we are.
