YumSugar posted about an interesting book called “Hungry Planet: What the World Eats” by Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluisio.

It has portraits of families, surrounded by the food they eat during the course of a week, and provides a visually interesting index of culinary lifestyles around the world for you to compare.

There are 30 families in 24 countries, and each of them are profiled with a small story, a full shopping list (with prices) and a family recipe.

From the book, here are the Ukita family of Kodaira City, Japan. Their food expenditure for one week: 37,699 Yen or $317.25. Their favorite foods: sashimi, fruit, cake, potato chips.
