11 Delicious Food Maps That Will Make You Smarter And Hungrier At The Same Time

Food Maps is a project by artists Caitlin Levin and Henry Hargreaves. As the name suggests, these food maps are physical maps composed of the iconic foods from different countries and continents. The United States’ map is a glorious quilt of wheat and corn that would have made a splendid centerpiece at the first Thanksgiving. And when looking at the richly colored mosaic of spices that form India, you might get a phantom taste of curry on your tongue.

“These maps show how food has traveled the globe — transforming and becoming a part of the cultural identity of that place,” they said.
