Description
Did you know that vindaloo was introduced to India by the Portuguese, that Samuel Pepys liked nothing better than a dish of cow’s udder, or that sawdust, mud and grass cuttings have all had their gastronomic champions? Ian Crofton’s compendium of food facts goes right back to the hippopotamus soup eaten in 6000BC Africa, reaching the present day via Kim Jong Un’s penchant for giant rabbits. The book also covers more familiar foodstuffs such as potato crisps and pasta, providing their rather surprising origins, along with recipes for delicious dishes like roast rat or snail water and chrysanthemum salad. This copy is in very good condition.
