斯图尔德·李·艾伦(Stewart Lee Allen)生于加利福尼亚州,著有《恶魔之杯》(The Devil's Cup)一书,首部短篇小说集曾在美、日获奖;并曾旅居加尔各答、巴黎、加德满都和悉尼,目前定居于纽约布鲁克林。
Deliciously organized by the Seven Deadly Sins, here is a scintillating history of forbidden foods through the ages—and how these mouth-watering taboos have defined cultures around the world.
From the lusciously tempting fruit in the Garden of Eden to the divine foie gras , Stewart Lee Allen engagingly illustrates that when a pleasure as primal as eating is criminalized, there is often an astonishing tale to tell. Among the foods thought to encourage Lust, the love apple (now known as the tomato) was thought to possess demonic spirits until the nineteenth century. The Gluttony “course” invites the reader to an ancient Roman dinner party where nearly every dish served—from poppy-crusted rodents to “Trojan Pork”—was considered a crime against the state. While the vice known as Sloth introduces the sad story of “The Lazy Root” (the potato), whose popularity in Ireland led British moralists to claim that the Great Famine was God’s way of punishing the Irish for eating a food that bred degeneracy and idleness.
Filled with incredible food history and the author’s travels to many of these exotic locales, In the Devil’s Garden also features recipes like the matzo-ball stews outlawed by the Spanish Inquisition and the forbidden “chocolate champagnes” of the Aztecs. This is truly a delectable book that will be consumed by food lovers, culinary historians, amateur anthropologists, and armchair travelers alike. Bon appétit!
关于我们生活中的知识,也许有很多种。 小时候,我爱在动植物百科全书,十万个为什么之类的书。并且是反反复复的看。这样的好处在于,小学时学校组织参观各类博物馆时,我总能在讲解员之前说出关于正在展出的物种的一两条。或者能最快的回答出讲解员的问题。为此,我沾沾自喜...
评分一本《死亡大辞典》让我差点对新星的翻译书亮了红灯,但这本《恶魔花园》又让我找回了感觉。 原作者的知识涉猎极其广泛,幸好译者也是,翻译准确,而且文字水平过硬,译出来有感觉,看着那叫一个爽。 书的内容其实不用说太多,食物禁忌嘛,不过一看他写才发现这禁忌远比我理解的...
评分本书说:食物果腹的功能完全被淡化,取而代之的是它的文化意义。 现代人活着只觉得好吃便是享受。真是I drop my potato哈,我掉了我的节操哈哈哈。
