A fascinating account of social evolution through eating. August 2, 2000
40 out of 41 found this review helpful
This is not 'what fork to use' but why we think using the correct fork is important, how the fork originated, forks around the world and when there are no forks. It's a big book full of facts but the writing is light, elegant and often poetic. I can't praise this enough. It is especially valuable to writers as a reference book about eating habits, a source of fascinating and inspiring tales and an example of excellant prose.
Exploration of table manners thru-out time and the world. July 10, 1998

This is a fascinating book. Everyone who reads a bit of it wants to own it. You can learn lots of trivia and impress your friends as well as develop a whole new outlook on food, eating, dinner parties, etc.
