Book description
'Who are these people? Look at what they eat.' Simon Majumdar travels
the country to find out what British food -- from Arbroath Smokies to
Welsh rarebit to chicken tikka masala -- reveals about British identity.
Exploring the history of British food, he celebrates the wealth of fare
on offer today, and meets the people all over the country -- the
farmers, the fishermen, the brewers, bakers and cheese makers -- who
have given the British reason to love their food again. Join Simon as he
becomes a judge at the Great British Pie Competition (where, to his
sorrow, he ends up judging vegetarian pies), as he learns to make Balti
with a true Brummie, hunts for grouse, and sees seaside rock being made
in Blackpool. EATING FOR BRITAIN is an impassioned and hilarious journey
into the meaning of eating British.
