Food enthusiasts will, therefore, spend much time recounting how a dish got its name, but often they will be peddling nonsense or mythology and what we really need is a historian of language. William Sayers is just that and in this collection of essays and articles he explores the riches of medieval English (and sometimes other tongues) to tease out unfamiliar facts about our food heritage.He looks at a wide range of topics: the bun; fish names; bee keeping; bread making; the strawberry; the haggis; stock; kitchen staff; frumenty; the pig and pork products. His approach is rigorously linguistic, but the facts are always curious and amusing for the engaged reader. Food history is a tremendously rich area of enquiry and this book explores nooks and crannies that have not been properly mapped up to now."--Publisher's website. 650 0 $a English language $x Etymology. 650 0 $a English language $v Terms and phrases. 650 0 $a Food $v Terminology. 650 0 $a English language $y Middle English, 1100-1500. 650 7 $a English language $x Etymology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911149 650 7 $a English language $x Middle English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710955 650 7 $a Food. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00930458 648 7 $a 1100 - 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a Terminology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423880 700 1 $a Timme, Clara Jane, $e illustrator. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013424.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826114343.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=03BF05D0ECCF11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
