FEAST OF FOLKLORE (PB)

Folklorist Ben Gazur guides you through the byways of British history to uncover how our food habits have been passed down through generations. Readers will get a taste of what life was life in a time when food was both magical ingredient and sustenance. Discover why we throw salt over our shoulder, why we think carrots help us see in the dark, when living snakes in pies were once the height of fashion at weddings, and why people risk life and limb to chase wheels of cheese down a hill.
