What Caesar Did for My Salad: The Curious Stories… por Albert Jack
Interesting but also frustrating conflation of some genuine food history and lots of apocryphal 'some people say' stories. The author mostly fails to differentiate between factual information and inaccurate food mythology. This is mostly because the book is lacking in citations or references to any sources for the 'facts' we are being given, so the reader is unable to verify or follow up on anything. Unfortunately, it's exactly this type of work that tends to perpetuate historical inaccuracies and misconceptions rather than clear them up.… (más)
Enjoyable potpourri of food facts: the origin of dishes and recipes, sorting myth from fact.
A wonderful reference book giving the meanings behind so many of the phrases we use every day, and some that have gone out of fashion.
What we think of as rhymes for children, were really the political cartoons of their day.
Many of them refer to actual events.
