Few things convey the identity of Britain's towns and cities more
vocally than football and food, yet put them together and they
become incompatible foes. Balti pies served out of tin trays and
rubbery burgers that cost north of a tenner are typical of the
over-the-counter fare that welcomes fans through the turnstile. But
it doesn't have to be that way. As Britain embraces a craft
revolution of locally made produce we, the travelled football fans,
have the unique opportunity to experience the country in a way few
others can. We can feast on cockles and mussels on the south-east
coast, tuck into smack barm and pey wet in Lancashire and drink our
way through an explosion of craft distillers and breweries all in
the name of the club we love. The Great Pie Revolt is the
definitive guide to the cafes, market stalls, takeaways,
microbrewers, pubs and bars that pride themselves on their
locality. It is proof that when paired properly football and food
are a match made in heaven, but both are in dire need of a
spectator-driven revolt.

A New York Times Book Review Summer Reading Selection "Delves into
not only what we eat around the world, but what we once ate and
what we have lost since then."-The New York Times Book Review Two
centuries ago, nearly half the North American diet was foraged,
hunted, or caught in the wild. Today, so-called "wild foods" are
becoming expensive luxuries, served to the wealthy in top
restaurants. Meanwhile, people who depend on wild foods for
survival and sustenance find their lives forever changed as new
markets and roads invade the world's last untamed landscapes. In
Feasting Wild, geographer and anthropologist Gina Rae La Cerva
embarks on a global culinary adventure to trace our relationship to
wild foods. Throughout her travels, La Cerva reflects on how
colonialism and the extinction crisis have impacted wild spaces,
and reveals what we sacrifice when we domesticate our foods
-including biodiversity, Indigenous and women's knowledge, a vital
connection to nature, and delicious flavors. In the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, La Cerva investigates the violent "bush
meat" trade, tracking elicit delicacies from the rainforests of the
Congo Basin to the dinner tables of Europe. In a Danish cemetery,
she forages for wild onions with the esteemed staff of Noma. In
Sweden--after saying goodbye to a man known only as The Hunter--La
Cerva smuggles freshly-caught game meat home to New York in her
suitcase, for a feast of "heartbreak moose." Thoughtful, ambitious,
and wide-ranging, Feasting Wild challenges us to take a closer look
at the way we eat today, and introduces an exciting new voice in
food journalism. "A memorable, genre-defying work that blends
anthropology and adventure."-Elizabeth Kolbert, New York
Times-bestselling author of The Sixth Extinction "A food book with
a truly original take."-Mark Kurlansky, New York Times bestselling
author of Salt: A World History "An intense and illuminating
travelogue... offer[ing] a corrective to the patriarchal white gaze
promoted by globetrotting eaters like Anthony Bourdain and Andrew
Zimmern. La Cerva combines environmental history with feminist
memoir to craft a narrative that's more in tune with recent works
by Robin Wall Kimmerer, Helen Macdonald and Elizabeth Rush."-The
Wall Street Journal
Throwing a few drinks back at the bar is a timeless tale of
humanity. In the American Old West, this tale played out in
ramshackle huts and stylish establishments alike in some of the
most unforgiving terrain imaginable. While the legendary Crystal
Palace in Tombstone, Arizona, had little in common with the tent
cities that sprang up in Leadville, Colorado, and Silver City, New
Mexico, one common feature was the bars--constructed of planks of
mahogany, cherrywood, or rosewood. These bars were often hauled
across hundreds of miles of rugged terrain to arrive in various
cities, where they would support the elbows, chins, and drinks of
those who sought to quench their thirst. From the Grand Hotel in
Bisbee to Rosa's Cantina in El Paso, Myke and Melody Groves tell
the story of the front and back bars of twenty-five establishments
in Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado through a combination
of historic background and photographs. This lively travelogue,
complete with driving directions, will inspire visitors to the
West's old mining camps, railroad towns, and ranching centers to
stop in and belly up to the bar.
