Her findings show that on both sides of the Atlantic, similar major changes to dining practices and foodways developed at almost the same time. Ness argues that early modern people were creating and expressing a distinct Spanish-American identity that retained some traditions from the home country while welcoming new ideas from an increasingly global network. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A volume in the Florida Museum of Natural History: Ripley P.
