Stanford University linguist and MacArthur Fellow Dan Jurafsky dives into the hidden history of food.
Why do we eat toast for breakfast, and then toast to good health at dinner? What does the turkey we eat on Thanksgiving have to do with the country on the eastern Mediterranean? Can you figure out how much your dinner will cost by counting the words on the menu?
In The Language of Food, Stanford University professor and MacArthur Fellow Dan Jurafsky peels away the mysteries from the foods we think we know. Thirteen chapters evoke the joy and discovery of reading a menu dotted with the sharp-eyed annotations of a linguist.
Jurafsky points out the subtle meanings hidden in filler words like "rich" and "crispy," zeroes in on the metaphors and storytelling tropes we rely on in restaurant reviews, and charts a microuniverse of marketing language on the back of a bag of potato chips.
The fascinating journey through The Language of Food uncovers a global atlas of culinary influences. With Jurafsky's insight, words like ketchup, macaron, and even salad become living fossils that contain the patterns of early global exploration that predate our modern fusion-filled world.
From ancient recipes preserved in Sumerian song lyrics to colonial shipping routes that first connected East and West, Jurafsky paints a vibrant portrait of how our foods developed. A surprising history of culinary exchange—a sharing of ideas and culture as much as ingredients and flavors—lies just beneath the surface of our daily snacks, soups, and suppers.
Engaging and informed, Jurafsky's unique study illuminates an extraordinary network of language, history, and food. The menu is yours to enjoy.

评分7.8/10 还记得是去年十一月初在muji吃饭看到了台湾版，非常感兴趣，于是顺其自然地就在双十一购入了，但它排到的档期还是比较迟的，基于新年消耗主义作祟还是决定不能囤货，要刷完本书，豆瓣上本书的英文原版→台版→大陆版评分简直是阶梯式下降，但是基于对斯坦福语言学+...
評分也是看了陈晓卿的推荐期待太高。但是看到后面觉得很难看进去 。唯一get到的点也就是没有文化的孤岛 以及菜命的长短和价格的关系。很多内容都想跳过 写得太琐碎了 失去了趣味啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊...
評分传言Emily Dickinson喜欢吃Coconut Cake，她的诗”The Things That Can Never Come Back, Are Several”最早就写在一张coconut cake recipe的背面。 又有传言说”ketchup”来自于粤语里面的”茄汁”，这个传言为假，但距离也不远了。 前阵终于把《厨房里的...

近幾年讀書越來越功利，經常不覺得閱讀是享受瞭。讀本食物與語言學的書，不僅因為好玩，也想收集些社交的談資，導緻覺得正確的閱讀姿勢是正襟危坐書桌前、下劃綫、OneNote，結果就是拖瞭好久纔開始讀。作者在前言裏說他祖母最愛一本名著，因為不喜歡裏麵的一個角色，讀一章跳一章，也是一種讀書方法。看得我莞爾。然後毫無心理壓力的隻讀瞭菜譜詞匯與定價，main course，和中國沒有甜點那三章。迴到初衷，完全沒有記筆記，但是真的蠻好玩
评分旁徵博引 可讀性很高
评分身邊常見食物的曆史其實並不如想象的長久，即便歸根溯源來自一處。思路類似茶、煙草、巧剋力——食品即商品，商品即流通。
评分要做好滿滿一桌吃的配上這本書閱讀。午飯做瞭藤椒白菜細麵，晚飯做瞭香煎三文魚和煮玉米，點心吃瞭香蕉，豆奶，夜宵烤瞭奶油哈斯麵包，就覺得讀著很幸福，nlp大佬的有趣小書
评分一本關於食物的冷知識大全，大概隻有資深吃貨纔會拿起這本書吧。本書專欄風，隨便挑瞭幾章，僅sex drug and sushi roll這章觸動瞭我的nerd神經，看進去瞭…
