Did you know that the Cornish pasty was invented to protect tin
miners from arsenic poisoning, or that the word 'salary' comes from
Roman soldiers being paid their wages in salt? Why do we eat goose
(or turkey) at Christmas? Is the Scotch egg actually from Scotland
and what did some retired crusaders have to do with French toast?
Who was the original Earl Grey and what sauce was inspired by
Parliament? What dish was invented by Greek bandits on the run? Why
were hot cross buns seen as magical and what's so rebellious about
a haggis or medicinal about a gin and tonic? Did you know what the
romantic history is behind the Bakewell Pudding? Albert Jack tells
the strange tales behind our favourite dishes and drinks and where
they come from (not to mention their unusual creators). In the
colourful, wonderful vein of Schott's Food and Drink Miscellany,
Albert Jack's What Caesar Did For My Salad is bursting with
fascinating insights, characters and enough stories to entertain a
hundred dinner parties. Albert Jack is the author such bestselling
titles as Pop Goes the Weasel, Shaggy Dogs and Black Sheep, and The
Old Dog and Duck.
