From the Publisher
A historical and factual directory of British food and drinkThis is an inventory of 400-plus British foods and drinks: most of which have been produced for more than 75 years in the same town or region and all of which are still available to the public. It is based on a survey funded by the European Commission. It is a remarkable portrait of a food culture and resource that we barely recognize as still existing. If Britons are seeking an identity, here is one book that supplies an important part of it. The book is arranged in encyclopaedia form, each entry giving a factual description of the foodstuff, an historical account, and some indication of its present production and availability. It should become a classic source book for anyone working in the field.
