Endangered Eating: America's Vanishing Foods by Sarah Lohman
There are a lot of foods that are "endangered" because they are not being produced or consumed much anymore. This book covers a number of those foods in the USA. One case is a different breed of peanuts. It was popular, but has been all but taken over by the common one. There have been attempts to bring it back. However, in the early stages, it costs much more than regular peanuts, and thus has been slow to be adopted. Other stories are of animals and other foods that are "non-commercial" in nature and endangered.
