Description
Scoff: A History of Food and Class in Britain by Pen Vogler explores how our eating habits reflect centuries of social prejudice. Through a fascinating examination of food, literature, artworks, and social records, Vogler reveals how Britain's cuisine has been shaped by class and social background. From the origins of breakfast to the surprising history of fish and chips, Vogler uncovers the stories behind our most enduring food traditions. By tracing the changing fortunes of the food we eat today, he unpicks the aspirations and prejudices of the people who have shaped our cuisine for better or worse. This engaging social history of food in Britain offers a fresh perspective on the ways in which our eating habits reveal our social backgrounds.
