http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/180750777

Boyles examines the phenomena of people craving familiar food while they are in a foreign environment. She interviews males who served missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints about their experiences with food in unfamiliar cultures, highlighting instances where informants excitedly ate contaminated food just because it was familiar. She asserts that people in foreign environments crave foods from home because they remind them of the comfort, security, and familiarity of home.
