Description: A Twist in the Tail by Christopher Beckman Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A captivating culinary journey through the Wests love-hate relationship with anchovies. Publisher Description A Twist in the Tail takes readers on a tantalising voyage through European and American gastronomic history, following the trail of a small but mighty fish: the anchovy.Whether in ubiquitous Roman garum, convenient British condiments, elaborate French haute cuisine or modern Spanish tapas, anchovies have been enhancing the flavour of many dishes for thousands of years. Yet, depending upon the time and place and who was eating them they have also been disdained as a worthless little fish, deemed too small, bony and inconsequential for popular or elite consumption. From Western Europe to the USA, Christopher Beckman shows how the evolving and ambiguous position of anchovies provides surprising insights into the relationship between food, class and status throughout history.Drawing on cookbooks, literature and art, this is the hidden story of the diminutive anchovy, and its outsized role in shaping the Wests cuisine. Author Biography Christopher Beckman was born in San Francisco and has a doctorate in Archaeology. His research focuses on the links between material culture and subsistence patterns. Currently residing in Geneva, he has lived and worked in the Middle East, Africa and Europe for over two decades. This is his first book.
