From medieval butter towers to prehistoric bee-keepers, this week we're examining the divine associations with global foods with Emelyn Rude, editor of the new food history magazine Eaten. Join us as she gives us a sneak peak of "The Food of the Gods", the first volume of the magazine, available now!

Learn what foods can keep the gods on your side, from ancient Roman honey cakes to barbarian head dumplings.
