Penguin Companion to Food |
Think of a food. Anything. How about Oka, Gem or Caul? You will learn the first is a cheese made by Canadian Trappist monks, the second a small American muffin, the third an edible membrane surrounding an animal's intestines. There's even a section on Irak - its cuisine not WMD. From the simple to the obscure, this book has everything you might want to know about food. Definitely not a muffin, but a veritable gem!
