Unmentionable Cuisine

Unmentionable Cuisine An engaging look at 'food prejudices,' or why we eat what we eat and why we reject other food sources as unpalatable--with recipes!'This is a unique and engrossing work and, to my mind, an important contribution to the annals of gastronomy. It will not, of course, appeal to all palates . . . but neither do snails and sweetbreads, brains and other oddments of animals.' --Craig Claiborne'I read from cover to cover with huge enjoyment. . . I can recall no other book that has covered the subject of strange foods with quite his flair and authority, and I consider the book required reading for anyone interested in the lore of food.' --James Beard Autor: Calvin W Schwabe Wydawnictwo: University Press of Virginia Rok wydania: 2005 Okładka: miękka Liczba stron: 492 Wymiary: 22.9 x 15.2 x 3.1 cm Język: angielski ISBN: 9780813911625
