Non-random selection. Page 143 of Everyday Life Through the Ages, published by Reader's Digest in 1992, is a section about "Food and Finery in a Town House," which is part of the chapter on Castle, Town and Church: Western Europe, AD 1000-1450.

Caption on the picture top left side of the page: "Winter warmer. The cold months of winter were the traditional time for eating and drinking more than the usual. Here a wealthy merchant, well wrapped in a fur-lined coat, warms himself by the fire, while his servants bring in soup and meat from the kitchen." On the acknowledgment pages (page 382), the illustration is credited to Pierpont Morgan Library, year 1991.

I've pre-selected titles from my personal library at home for themes on food, cooking, eating or dining, and nutrition. In the Philippines, Nutrition Month is observed every July by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 491 in 1974.
