Still working my way through this. Dense read.

Dense read!

I read a lot of gastronomic history books (I’d be a food historian if I had a chance to do it all again) - this contains fine bits of writing such as: “Finding such chickens proved a challenge, though, in the age of Tyson and Perdue, massive high-volume operations whose pen-raised chickens, like San Fernando Valley porn, offered consistency and enormous breasts but little in the way of lasting satisfaction”.

While I can appreciate the incredible amount of research that was put into writing this book, unfortunately, it’s tedious to read.

Life-long learning!
