About this product

Product Information

Calvin Trillin has never been a champion of the "continental cuisine" palaces he used to refer to as La Maison de la Casa House -- nor of their successors, the trendy spots he calls "sleepy-time restaurants, where everything is served on a bed of something else." What he treasures is the superb local specialty, from Cajun boudin in Louisiana to pimientos de Padron in northern Spain. At home in New York, he is hardly deprived; he is, for instance, working his way steadily through the menu of a Greenwich Village restaurant that offers 900 items, many of them with names like Cotton Picker Melt Soup. But he often dreams of favorite dishes that, despite the apparent availability of every kind of food everywhere these days, somehow never left their place of origin -- dishes that are on his Register of Frustration and Deprivation. ("On gray afternoons, I go over it, like a miser who is both tantalizing and tormenting himself by poring over a list of people who owe him money.")Sometimes, dreaming is not enough, and he heads off to eat, say, posole in northern New Mexico or a pan bagnat in Nice or ceviche in Ecuador, often returning with yet another dish to add to the Register. The result is this book of antic eating adventures, by a writer once described as being "to food writing what Chaplin was to film acting."

This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is in better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you.
