Scoff: A History of Food and Class in Britain by Pen Vogler
£9.99
Bookseller Review by Miriam:
‘In Scoff Penelope Vogler enthrals with a pacy social history of the cultural value of food; what was available and when – the innovations, imitations, rules and trends. Who knew that we were eating pasta before we were eating fish and chips? From gin to tripe, ice cream to doilies… it’s all here. With recipes from food writers of the past, personal anecdotes and insights into what Jane Austin and Dickens had for ‘dinner’! There was even a much-appreciated chapter on vegetarianism. Fascinating and fun!’
