At first I was not a Food Network fan, but after a few sittings of good shows I must admit that I am hooked. There are some wonderful shows there such as Good eats, Unwrapped and for those of us that are curious about the history of food, the Secret life of offers us thirty minutes of interesting facts, places and different customs on cooking that we may take for granted.

1) Popcorn was present in 1620 at the first Thanksgiving,served as the basis for the very first breakfast cereal and boomed as a cheap affordable snack during The Great Depression 

2) The birth of the ice cream cone was debut at the 1904 World's Fair.

Jim O'Connor as host may not be AB, has his annoying moments, but over all he does something that most of us would love to do. He gets to go into kitchens, try to cook something new, eat something different and in a way advertise the place he is in at that moment when he is showing their trademark food. How lucky is that guy for having that awesome of a job. If you ever have 30 minutes tune into Food network and give this show a chance. You never know what interesting historical fact you can learn about your favorite food.

A lighthearted take on the history of food.
