Summary "Food is a favorite topic of conversation around the world-how to create it, how to season it, how to compliment it with other foods, how to serve it ... the list goes on. Yet little attention is paid to where the names of food actually come from or why so many phrases we use daily involve food, whether or not they actually relate to the kitchen. Bring some history to the table with this delightful phrasebook!"-- Provided by publisher.
