Much Ado About British Food...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is partly a gastronomic travelogue sprinkled with Ye Olde British history along the way. If you like taking in lush British country scenery and along the way sniff at the flavors of British cuisine, this one does live up to it. The author addresses the sad fate of 101% traditional British cuisine that has since disappeared without a trace or soon to decline stage. Its a trip down memory lane as he meets up with the farmers or artisanal food manufacturers with some inkling of what those foods with quiant names represents and who still eats them. There is a strong sense of lament that if only the British have a greater sense of identity associated with its food like the French & Italians, then its rich food heritage need not be the sad fate it is at present.
