"This book is a tour de force which reviews the development of not
only restaurants, hotels, and cafes but also the many other eating
places that have developed in England over the last 170 years. It
is written in Professor Burnetts fluent, easily read style that has
engaged his audience in so many books to date."
Derek Oddy, Emeritus Professor of Economic and Social History,
University of Westminster.
Why do so many people now eat out in England?
Food and the culture surrounding how we consume it are high on
everyones agenda. "England Eats Out "is the ultimate book for a
nation obsessed with food.
Today eating out is more than just getting fed; it is an
expression of lifestyle. In the past it has been crucial to
survival for the impoverished but a primary form of entertainment
for the few. In the past, to eat outside the home for pleasure was
mainly restricted to the wealthier classes when travelling or on
holiday: there were clubs and pubs for men, but women did not
normally eat in public places. Eating out came to all classes, to
men, women and young people after World War Two as a result of
rising standards of living, the growth of leisure and the emergence
of new types of restaurants having wide popular appeal. England
Eats Out explores these trends from the early nineteenth century to
the present.
From chop-houses and railway food to haute cuisine, award
winning author John Burnett takes the reader on a gastronomic tour
of 170 years of eating out, covering food for princes and
paupers.
Beautifully illustrated, "England Eats Out" covers highly
topical subjects such as the history of fast food; the rise of the
celebrity chef and the fascinating history of teashops, coffee
houses, feasts and picnics.
