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!

读后感
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...
评分夏娃偷吃了禁果，人类被赶出了伊甸园。这个故事人人皆知。但有一点，禁果到底是哪种果子？按照流传的说法，禁果通常指苹果。为什么苹果成了禁果呢？ 拿几个苹果来做实验吧。首先，垂直对半切开。苹果核像什么呢？嗯，冥思苦想，莫名其妙。修道士说：“苹果中心，包裹...
评分 评分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《恶魔花园》这本书，我拿在手里已经很久了。之间，无数次拿起，翻两页，再放下。唉，我幼小的心脏实在经不住简单的、习以为常的食物背后隐藏了如此多的秘密，它们涉及宗教、历史、民族禁忌、性，以及医学。涉猎如此之广，令人目不暇接之余，让看者惊心动魄。 制...
