There’s far more to British food than fish and chips. Discover
the history and culture of Great Britain through its rich culinary
traditions. Part of the Global Kitchen series, this book takes
readers on a food tour of Great Britain, covering everything from
daily staples to holiday specialties. In addition to discovering
Great Britain’s long culinary history, you’ll learn about
recent trends, foreign influences, and contemporary food and
dietary concerns, such as obesity and the impacts of climate
change. Chapters are organized thematically, making it easy to
focus in on particular courses or types of dishes. The main text is
supplemented by sidebars that offer interesting bite-sized facts, a
chronology of important dates in British culinary history, and a
glossary of key food- and dining-related terms. When people outside
Great Britain think of British cuisine, they likely envision iconic
foods and traditions such as fish and chips, a full English
breakfast, and afternoon tea. But Great Britain has a much richer
and more diverse culinary history. It has been shaped by a myriad
of events, from invasions by the Romans, Vikings, and Normans to
the emergence and expansion of the British Empire to the privations
of World War II. In more recent times, Great Britain’s departure
from the European Union, the global Covid-19 pandemic, and
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have all had a significant impact on
the food landscape of Great Britain.
