Unlike other institutions of central importance to working-class
life, the fish-and-chip trade has not yet been rescued from what
the author of this book regards as "the massive condescension of
posterity". In attempting to begin this process, he traces the
origins of what was by 1914 an important national industry, setting
the economic, social and political context of the trade, charting
its spread and analyzing its sources and methods of supply. The
book explores themes like: recruitment patterns of decentralized,
provincial trades; methods of working; the role of women in the
food industry of the period; and the aim, and effectiveness, of
trade organizations. It also provides a survey of the effect of
convenient, cheap, ready-cooked food on working-class diet, health,
lifestyle, economy and politics.
