Title: Unmentionable Cuisine
Author: Calvin W Schwabe
ISBN: 9780813911625
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
Published: 1988
Binding: Paperback
Language: English
Condition: Used: Near Fine
Y 1633577
Publisher Description:
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
