“Edward Sapir and the Sino-Dene Hypothesis”, by John Bengston. a publication on the American Indian languages classification “Dene” (shown by above map) was the topic of an earlier blog post.
Similarly here I presently American Indian book: Michael A. LaCombe, “Political Gastronomy: Food and Authority in the English Atlantic World”, 2012 was an English early American History.
“The first Thanksgiving at Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621 was a powerfully symbolic event” … is a quote from the Michael LaCombe book. The “Roanoke (North Carolina) Voyage” of 1584 was sponsored by the Englishman Sir Walter Raleigh.

In speech, sounds convey “symbolically” ones ideas. Michael LaCombe’s book is on the “symbols” in the gastronomy of English and Indian; and, “food as symbol” at the dining table is always political play.Edward Sapir was an anthropologist, whose Sino-Dene language group (shown in above map) still is valid today. Edward Sapir was one who studied Indian languages. The Roanoke Algonquin was the first Indian language encountered by the English settlers.
Food through the language barriers is essentially what the book conveys.
