4.0 out of 5 stars
Food for Thought,
By A Customer
This review is from: Food: A Dictionary of Literal and Nonliteral Terms (Hardcover)
As collector of dictionaries, and someone interested in histories of food I picked this book up, looked at the price and said, "How good is this?". At first glance it seemed general; the price more impressive, until I began to read each entry. I was swept up into the pages finding wonderful metaphors, quotes, proverbs, and idiomatic language. English slang of both the UK and USA. After reading it for 20 minutes I decided it was worth purchasing, much food for thought. Spices are thin hence my four stars instead of five. It is filled with interesting tidbits of history and is a wonderful resource.
