Migration to urban areas took people away from their personal connection to food sources. Immigration, primarily from Europe, and political influence of the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Pacific brought us new ingredients, cuisines, and foodways. Technological breakthroughs engendered the widespread availability of refrigeration, as well as faster cooking times. The invention of the automobile augured the introduction of \"road food,\" and the growth of commercial transportation meant that a wider assortment of foods was available year round. Major food crises occurred during the Depression and two world wars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFood in the United States, 1890-1945\u003c\/i\u003e documents these changes, taking students and general readers through the period to explain what our foodways say about our society.
