The Cambridge World History of Food
Kiple & Ornelas Cambridge University Press

ISBN 0521402166

This is a two volume boxed set from Cambridge, which is extremely comprehensive in its coverage of its subject food. This will appeal to those with large budgets who require more than just recipes and trivia, as it is more academic than everyday use in its format and content.

Also lots of conversation stoppers like, "did you know Chinese Yang-Yin dieticians believe that certain foods have a negative effect on newborn babies"; "birthmarks can be caused by sparrows or soybean paste"; "deformed necks by turtles"; "skin lesions by carp and shellfish"; "epilepsy by mutton";" jaundice by bananas"; and "polydactylyv (an extra digit) by fresh ginger".
