Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. Condition: NEW. Brand New Book. Synopsis: From prehistoric feasts to modern food banks, Stuffed explores how the people of the British Isles have shared or hoarded the riches of fields, dairies, seas, and global trade. Who feeds the nation when the cupboard is bare? Whether it's hungry children, soldiers at war, or struggling families, someone always steps up to the plate. Historian Pen Vogler serves up a richly detailed and engaging history of Britain through its food tracing how social upheaval, class struggles, and politics have shaped not only what we eat, but who gets to eat at all. From the celebratory roast goose lost to the Enclosures to the strawberries that sweetened post-war supermarkets, Stuffed blends social history, literature, cookbooks, and archival records to tell a powerful story of feast and famine. This is a tale of yeasty ale and sugary treats, medieval inns and wartime rations, and the paradox of a nation known both for roast beef and for rising food poverty a nation that once gave away North America, just to keep its tea.…
