Summary/Abstract: What I am looking at in this paper is the myriad configurations that the intermingling of fact and spin can take as regards food and cooking in the history of the western world. Indeed, it is Marius Cristian's endeavour (Cristian 2016) to delve into the intricacies of food and cuisine in several western civilizations, ranging from ancient Rome to the New World. Only once does he 'stray' from the geographically-prescriptive path - and he goes away to remote China to identify there yet another trail and origin of gastronomic relevance.
