UBC #3 - Eater's Digest by Lorraine Bodger - hardcover

Eater's Digest by Lorraine Bodger
Stewart, Tabori & Chang c2006 Hardcover

from the back cover: "love food? love trivia? Eaters Digest is the best of both: a smorgasbord of food, fun, and trivia served up in perfect snack-sized portions." so if you've ever wondered why beans give you gas or what to serve at a luau, this handy encycopedia will give you the straight-up facts. it'll also inform you about the different types of sushi, which states have the most restaurants, and which foods were named after real people (re: veal oscar, named after king oscar II of sweden). however, it still doesn't provide a clear scientific explanation as to why a circle of bologna once took the paint off my friend jimmy's '88 ford taurus. regardless...

$10.50
