About this product

Product Information

In this remarkable and original book, Dianne Purkiss invites readers on a journey in which major historical events - wars, social uprisings, the acquisition and loss of colonies - are entwined with the very food we eat. Food. We all eat it, we all need it and none of us can survive for long without it. It binds humankind across the globe today, and also unites us to our ancestors who, too, formed a part of this common human struggle. And yet, the impact of food on history, and history on food, has long been neglected. In her compelling new book, Diane Purkiss, the author of 'The English Civil War' traces the foods from our meals to their historical sources - from bacon and eggs at breakfast to chicken vindaloo for dinner. She explores the development of the coffee trade and the birth of London's coffee houses, where views were exchanged on politics, art and literature. She introduces the first breeders of British beef, and reveals how cattle triggered the terrible massacre at Glencoe, where the Macdonalds were attacked by the Campbells. She takes us for tea, visiting the town bakery, the pantry and the bee hive, and to the very first ice houses, from where we witness the rise of commercial English ice-cream. When we return to the table, our meals will never be the same again.
