Book: A Short History Of The American Stomach
Frederick Kaufman offers a piquant sampling of American
history by way of the stomach.Travel with him as he
tracks down our earliest foodies; discovers the secret history
of Puritan purges; introduces diet gurus of the nineteenth
century such asWilliam Alcott, who believed that "nothing
ought to be mashed before it is eaten"; traces extreme feeders
from Paul Bunyan to eating-contest champ Dale Boone
(descended from Daniel, of course); and investigates our
blithe efforts to re-create the plants and animals that we've
eaten to the point of extinction.With outraged wit and an
incredible range of sources that includes everything from
Cotton Mather's diary to interviews with Amish black-market
raw-milk dealers, Kaufman takes readers on a Bourdainmeets-
Pollan tour of the American gut.
