From the mind
that brought you
"Schott's
Original Miscellany" comes a collection of vital irrelevance and uncommon
knowledge surrounding the worlds of food and drink. "Schott's Food and Drink Miscellany" is a snapper
up of unconsidered trifles (in both senses of the word) - from food history to
cooking terms; cocktail recipes to dining etiquette; grace before meals to
after-dinner toasts. What other book can tell you the accepted procedure when
drinking from a Loving Cup; which potatoes are best for mashing; how to fold
your napkins into a variety of pleasing shapes; the correct technique for
lighting a cigar, or a Christmas pudding; or how to make the legendary 'Monster
Egg'? An 'olla podrida' of all that is pertinent to wining, dining and
socialising, this book offers everything for the food-lover, wine-drinker,
gastronome and glutton. |
