2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting subject boringly rendered, September 18, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Changing Chinese Foodways in Asia (Hardcover)
This could've been a most interesting subjects. Besides, I don't think many people have written on this amusing topic. Unfortunately, the authors of this book has succeeded to make it a boring tome that can have only limited appeal to both the casual readers and academics.
