Much Depends on Dinner - Margaret Visser - Food History Hardcover Classic
📜 Description
Much Depends on Dinner by Margaret Visser is a thought-provoking exploration of how a simple meal reflects centuries of history, myth, and culture. Visser guides the reader through everyday foods such as corn, salt, butter, chicken, lettuce, olive oil, and ice cream, revealing their hidden roles in human societies, economies, and rituals.
This edition is a hardcover first edition (or early edition if verifiable) with a dust jacket, in very good condition. The text is clean, the binding is solid, and the jacket shows only moderate shelf wear.
With an interdisciplinary blend of anthropology, history, mythology, and cultural studies, Much Depends on Dinner is frequently cited in food studies, cultural humanities, and academic curricula. Hardcover editions are increasingly scarce, making this a valuable collector and academic reference from the publisher McClelland & Stewart.
