Download Much Depends on Dinner: The Extraordinary History and Mythology, Allure and Obsessions, Perils and Taboos of an Ordinary Meal AudioBook Free
A staple of the food-writing genre that prefigured the current locavore and foodist movements by almost 2 decades, Margaret Visser’s Much Depends upon Dinner is a wonderful and intelligent history of the meals we consume, and a cornucopia of extraordinary information regarding the ways we take action.
Provided as a meal, each section of Much Depends upon Dinner represents another type of course or garnish, which Margaret Visser handpicks from the most typical American dinner: corn on the cob with butter and sodium, roast poultry with grain, salad dressed in lemon drink and essential olive oil, and glaciers cream. Visser explains to the story behind each of these foods and throughout her inquiries shows some unexpected snacks: the history of Corn Flakes; the secret behind the greater dissatisfactory California olives (they’re chosen renewable, chemically blackened, and sterilized); and the actual fact that, in Africa, citrus fruits are eaten complete, rind and everything.
For food fans of all sorts, this wise and unexpectedly funny book is a treasure of information that sheds light using one of well known pastimes: eating.
