At last! This volume truly does fill a serious gap. The Shortridges have a uniquely broad command of the literature, and their choices are admirable., This rich compilation of articles--expertly framed by the editors' insightful introduction and valuable bibliography--examines the culture, ethnicity, socioeconomics, geography, and demography of American food in all its distinct yet delightfully untidy forms. The Taste of American Place will be of interest not only to food scholars and students, but to the general reader who loves to eat and loves to explore the abundant array of foods we call American., This rich compilation of articles "expertly framed by the editors' insightful introduction and valuable bibliography "examines the culture, ethnicity, socioeconomics, geography, and demography of American food in all its distinct yet delightfully untidy forms. The Taste of American Place will be of interest not only to food scholars and students, but to the general reader who loves to eat and loves to explore the abundant array of foods we call American., A marvelous collection of seminal articles on American foodways. This anthology will delight and enlighten food scholars and general readers alike., The Taste of American Place stews over these questions and simmers with provocative arguments, delightful information, accessible prose and an inherent sense of fun and adventure rarely found in academic works. More important, the Shortridges' book will dramatically change the way you think and talk about food., The Taste of American Place facilitates the development of our understanding that although we must eat, we eat particular foods in certain ways for complex cultural reasons.
