![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() 'The bizarre and brilliant stories behind our favourite dishes' By sally tarbox on 15 September 2017 Format: Kindle Edition Mildly interesting selection of food facts. Foods named after celebs, chefs, famous events... Etymology of 'food based' phrases - worth his salt, cheesed off etc. And the history of foodstuffs from the introduction of the potato to the 'British balti.' Good book to browse through.

Did you know that the Cornish pasty was invented to protect tin miners from arsenic poisoning, or that the word 'salary' comes from Roman soldiers being paid their wages in salt? Why do we eat goose (or turkey) at Christmas? Is the Scotch egg actually from Scotland and what did some retired crusaders have to do with French toast? Who was the original Earl Grey and what sauce was inspired by Parliament? What dish was invented by Greek bandits on the run? Why were hot cross buns seen as magical and what's so rebellious about a haggis or medicinal about a gin and tonic? Did you know what the romantic history is behind the Bakewell Pudding? Albert Jack tells the strange tales behind our favourite dishes and drinks and where they come from (not to mention their unusual creators). In the colourful, wonderful vein of Schott's Food and Drink Miscellany, Albert Jack's What Caesar Did For My Salad is bursting with fascinating insights, characters and enough stories to entertain a hundred dinner parties. Albert Jack is the author such bestselling titles as Pop Goes the Weasel, Shaggy Dogs and Black Sheep, and The Old Dog and Duck. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
