这是一次开阔眼界、滋养心灵的世界中餐之旅。 从南非开普敦到萨斯喀彻温省的小城镇，家庭经营的中餐馆是全球移民、社区和美味食物的标志。中餐馆是远道而来的定居者的文化前哨，是点心、北京烤鸭和创造性烹饪混合体的提供者，是更大社会力量的缩影。它们是对时间、历史和地点的一种洞察力。 作者兼电影制作人卓群自称是 "散居海外的中国人"，他通过将世界各地的中国厨房里的厨师、企业家、劳工和梦想家的无数个人故事联系起来，编织了一个全球叙事。在这些厨房的门背后，隐藏着一个耐人寻味的悖论，这也是许多社区的特点：中国移民如何抵制--或经常被阻止--完全同化到他们新家园的社会结构中。在这两种情况下，他们经济生存的引擎--中餐馆及其食物--已经与世界各地的城镇无缝地交织在一起。 《吃了吗？》这本无畏的游记包含了壮丽的风景、冒险和偶然性，描绘了一幅活生生的全球移民地图，最终揭示了美味...(展开全部)

Or that the flag of Mozambique features a book, a hoe and an AK47? Robert Fresson’s vintage-inflected illustrations shed fresh light on the wonders of vexillology.
