Description
"In this savory feast of ideas, Andrew Beahrs employs his curiosity and wit to reconstitute Twain's original literary ingredients into an American meal that is both delicious and elucidating."-Nick Offerman
One young food writer's search for America's lost wild foods,
from New Orleans croakers to Illinois prairie hens, with Mark Twain as
his guide.
One young food writer's search for America's lost wild foods,
from New Orleans croakers to Illinois prairie hens, with Mark Twain as
his guide.
In 1879, Mark Twain paused during a European tour to compose a
fantasy menu of the American dishes he missed the most. A true love
letter to American food, the menu included some eighty specialties,
from Mississippi black bass to Philadelphia terrapin. Andrew Beahrs
chooses eight of these regionally distinctive foods, retracing Twain's
footsteps as he sets out to discover whether they can still be found on
American tables. Weaving together passages from Twain's famous works
and Beahrs's own adventures, this travelogue-cum-culinary-history takes
us back to a bygone era when wild foods were at the heart of American
cooking.
