    • The British were the first to add tomatoes to their anchovy catsup in 1817. A century later, Heinz changed the spelling again-and added sugar. Combining history with linguistic analysis, Jurafsky uncovers a global atlas of premodern culinary influence: why we toast to good health at dinner and eat toast for breakfast and why the Chinese don't have a word for dessert.
