A friend recently posted this fascinating article on Thomas Jefferson on her Facebook. It talks about how Jefferson was passionate about good food and wine, how he cultivated local and exotic produce, and of course, that he maintained a reliance on highly skilled slaves. It's a thoroughly engaging read on 'America's original foodie'.
If you're interested in more articles on food history (one of my great passions), check out the Eatymology section on Salon.com. I've read the article on tequila, and again, I highly recommend it. It's all great fodder for dinner party conversations.
