A fascinating account of social evolution through eating.

This is not 'what fork to use' but why we think using the correct fork is important, how the fork originated, forks around the world and when there are no forks. It's a big book full of facts but the writing is light, elegant and often poetic. I can't praise this enough. It is especially valuable to writers as a reference book about eating habits, a source of fascinating and inspiring tales and an example of excellant prose.
