According to author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919], Munchkins were inhabitants of the Blue Munchkinland of the East in the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. They were small in size. They liked the color blue. They were a happy, likeable people even though they had suffered through harsh years as slaves to the cruel Wicked Witch of the East.
In the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz', the Munchkins also were represented as small people. But they didn't favor just blue. They dressed in all sorts of brightly colored outfits.

∙ 14y agoAuthor and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919] included his reason for writing 'The Wizard of Oz' in the book's introduction. He wanted to get rid of the nightmarish aspects of the traditional fairytale. At the same time, he wanted to encourage the joyful feelings that fairytales also brought out in children. He and his descendants never indicated any other reason for coming up with the royal histories of the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands and peoples of Oz. But other interpretations have been offered for the book's writing. One such interpretation was the supposed political symbolism within the book's covers. Such supposed symbolism, to which Baum and his descendants never admitted, was the 19th century scenario of populism's supporters and opponents. The populist movement pitted those concerned over the plight of ordinary working people such as farmers and city workers, against those concerned over profits and power such as businessmen and bankers. Within that scenario, the midget Munchkins of the Blue Country of the East represented the little people who worked for a living. They kept the economy going. They kept businesses running. They therefore were manipulated by leaders - such as the book's Wizard and Wicked Witch of the East - for their votes and their workability. They were the little, ordinary people who weren't superpowerful or superwealthy. Their holding down jobs and casting votes were manipulated by the superpowerful and the superwealthy for a most unequal distribution and consolidation of power and wealth.

∙ 13y agoAs far as I know, Food does not figure directly in the plot of the Wizard of Oz. Eating lunch would slow up the pace, N"yet.
In the film, Aunty Em does offer Dorothy a 'cruller' in the opeining scene. Apparently some kind of pastry. Interestingly, they're also known as twisters!

∙ 13y agoBread and butter is the first food that Dorothy Gale eats in Munchkinland according to the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, Dorothy decides to feed herself and her pet dog Toto before following the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City of the Wizard of Oz. She takes bread and butter out of the cupboard in her family's farmhouse. So it is possible that the bread was made and baked by Aunt Em before the cyclone takes Dorothy and Toto over the Rainbow and into the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz. Dorothy shares the bread, butter and water from a nearby brook with Toto. She also eats an unidentified fruit that she gathers from a nearby tree.
