Here
is a feast of words that will whet the appetite of food and word lovers
everywhere. William Grimes, former restaurant critic for The New
York Times, covers everything from bird's nest soup to
Trockenbeerenauslese in this wonderfully informative food lexicon. Eating
Your Words is a veritable cornucopia--a thousand-and-one entries
on candies and desserts, fruits and vegetables, meats, seafood, spices,
herbs, wines, cheeses, liqueurs, cocktails, sauces, dressings, and
pastas.
